WejMah chorgh - One Foot in Sea, and One in Shore

[general_chang]

[The Spanish vessel has come to dock. Her captain, General Chang, is a man not to be crossed and enjoys himself a little too much for him to quite fit in with his Naval colleagues. He's a fan of Shakespeare and will enjoy trolling the English most of all.

He grins.]

Ah! We dock here once more. Tell me, does the Barcaza's Commodore still dwell upon this isle?

What news?

[nolongerhollow]

Hah! Ahah! Yes, you have a point. [He looks up as the barmaid wanders up to take their orders and put in for a pint, then glances at his friend.]

[general_chang]

[Chang orders a whiskey, smiling at her and getting a smile back.]

[nolongerhollow]

Oh well. I am certain I will sort this all out some day soon. [Like maybe if he stops going to witches for his problem and considers, you know, dating one of them.]

There's a new bookseller in town.

[general_chang]

I'm certain you will. [Supportive, if slightly unconvinced.]

Hmm? [Chang is only half interested. It's not like he doesn't enjoy a good read, it that whether or not there is one or fifty bookshops, the supply lines are going to be as iffy.]

[nolongerhollow]

I do not yet know if they are selling captured libraries or simple trash, but I am willing to scout for you. I have the time. [When he's not in the midst of a grand romantic schmoop.]

[general_chang]

Yes, most kind. It may be some time before I am this way again.
