Laura and Prya set out for the Sloani place, up the mountain and through the woods.

Prya said as they walked, "Croil told us that we were free to wander the port but that we were sailing tomorrow.

Of course, he was the only one with pants so some went and some stayed. I did solve the pants problem but seem to have created another."

"I'm surprised that the Sloani did not catch you and beat you," Laura replied.

"It was the middle of the night, they have no dogs only chickens and they were asleep."

Laura marveled at the outrageous boldness of this half goblin girl. Laura herself was pretty wild but Prya's approach to life went far beyond.

One might even think she was a pirate.
