She's pulled into dock on the edge of the woods. There's no one else there, which isn't too unusual, just the edge of the world behind her, the soaring cliffs before her, and the forest spilling down either side like tumbling locks. It's nighttime, and she takes a moment to look up at the wandering stars. What this island loses on remoteness it makes up for in scenery, and the rooms carved into the cliff face are generally comfortable. And free. A port without fees is always nice.
"I'm tired. And if I wanna see a place with no sun I can just wait for night time."
"Alright, then. Let's head back to the inn for the night, then we can set out when we wake up."
And back to the inn they can go.
Sarati gets the ship ready fairly quickly in the morning.
Gren wants to keep charging that magic power cell! The one she started but didn't finish yesterday. She has more magic now.
She can be doing that while Sarati's running around the ship getting it ready, then.
"Thank you for this," Sarati says when she hands the power cell to Gren. "It's a big help to me."
"And you said you'd pay me for it. It's a magic job! Just what I'm supposed to do with magic."
"You use magic for things just like anything else. Fun things and work things too. That's what mom always says."
Gren goes quiet.
She finishes charging the cell - for now - and takes deep breaths and looks like she's trying not to cry.
Sarati is not entirely sure what to do about upset child, but she does her best to be comforting.
"I'll make sure you get back, with help," she says.
"Do you want to talk about home? I find that sometimes helps me, when I'm missing things."
Grenadine will tell her the story of the giants! One of the creatures that roamed the Earth in the times before Witches - they were strong, fast, devilishly clever. The story tells of them succeeding at one thing and the next and the next. But they are so, so hungry, all the time, and eventually there are so many giants that there is not enough food in the world and all the giants starve and most other creatures starve too, but life recovered, eventually.
"...That's just a story though. I don't know if it actually happened. But I like the story."
