Neverwin
Protector of Innocent Commas
Didi-Ek looked out at sea, leaning over the boat side and watching the horizon. This was the first time she had ever been on a boat. She seemed to be taking to it surprisingly well for her first time, and she thought it a great honor that her clan had chosen her to go to fight in this foreign land for glory. She glanced over at her Net-Mo who was not taking well to being on a boat at all. He, too, was leaning over the boat side... losing his lunch.
Didi-Ek wrinkled her nose. "Gross," she told him, in the language of the Tang Mo.
Ook-In gave a grunt and wiped his mouth with a cloth, which he then dropped overboard. "I'm fine. Don't lean so far over the edge, Honored One. I have heard talk of huge fish with sharp teeth which can swallow a grown man whole."
Didi-Ek seemed to lean over the boat even more, her eyes widening in curiosity. "Really?" She was soon grabbed by Ook-In and placed back in the middle of the boat. He gave her a stern look.
Didi-Ek pouted a little, but stayed away from the edge of the boat. "I am bored, Ook-In."
Ook-In grunted again. "It is nearly time for bed. Come, I will read you a story, and you can dream of being bored no more."
He led the little Tang-Mo below deck.
