Hyne winces and grits his teeth when his feet dig deep into a loosened plank. When he notices the box, he tries to think of a way to quickly get it back. He pulls out the gold earring he planned on returning then reaches out to flick it at Dirk in hopes that his greed outranks his sensibilities and makes him clumsy enough for a chance to move in and grab it.

Dirk sees something small shiny and golden flying towards him, and instinctively looses his grasp on the box to catch it. The box falls to the floor with a dull heavy "thunk"

Dirk fails to catch the earring, and it bounces off his neck and lands on the floor.

"Hey!" Dirk exclaims in surprise and confusion. He looks a bit frightened.

Weisana laughs. "What in the world?" She backs up a step, wary in case anything else gets thrown. She seems amused.

Hyne steps out and offers a cheerful grin, "I didn't find what was stolen from me in there." He points to the earring he just chucked at dirk and informs Weisanna, "I did find that. I assume that's one of yours."

He looks at the box that fell to make sure it's the same one he was carrying. If it is he will promptly pick it up and say, "Good of you to find what was stolen from me, ol' Dirk."

"Oh! Oh... yeah! This is yours?" Dirk says, sweating. "I found it in the... washroom. Didn't know what it was. The top wound't open... so I figured..." he trails off, watching Hyne nervously.

Weisana picks up the ear-ring and looks at it closely. "Yes! That is one of mine, Thanks Stormeel... I'll better wash this..." She smiles.

He places the box back in his satchel. He will work on securing it better later. He turns to Dirk and asks, "Oh, there's a washroom here?"

He smiles back, "Well, I couldn't have found it if you hadn't told me where to look, but I'm glad I could help." He pauses for a moment then says, "I'm sure you wear it well."

"Huh?" Says Dirk "I ... Uh... I'm gonna get breakfast..." Dirk scurries away and up the stairs towards the deck.

"So what is in the box?" Asks Weisana, peering curiously.

He tries to think of a good reasoning, "Oh, it's ah.. a gift I am delivering. I promised I would get it safely. It's why I am travelling east with the crew here. Who knows maybe if I do well delivering this maybe I can go into the shipping business?"

"Must be quite a gift!" Says Weisana, clearly still curious.

"Well, whatever is cooking smells good. I'm going up" she says. "See you around" and she heads up the stairs, leaving Hyne alone below deck.

He shrugs, "I'll go as well. No reason for me to hang out down here on an empty stomach after all."

On deck, one of the kobolds has set up a portable stove. Smoke seeps cheerfully from the top. Next to it is an enormous basket of seagull eggs. The kobold is making omelettes. Also on the stove is a big pot that gets stirred every so often. There is a spicy smell in the air.

One of the larger wooden shacks on the wall has its shuttered sides wide open now, and Hyne can see that a tiny Kobold-sized casino is inside. A couple crew members are in there playing dice, heads ducked to avoid scraping the ceiling.

The rest of the crew is relaxing and chatting on the deck.

Tip seems to be trying to teach a couple of the merfolk more Common vocabulary.

Oxnar is sitting near the front of the ship talking to Caskbow, the ex-circus acrobat.

Neither Captain Crawford not Meleander are anywhere to be seen.

Hyne is a bit disappointed that he's entering the big party on his own. It makes the wholesome cookout seem just routine. It seems this little hidden island runs a bigger operation than what they want outsiders to know.

He decides to head to the buffet to grab an omelette before looking for a place to sit.
