Aegnor's boat swayed violently, causing him to fall unto his floor from his bed. He unsteadily stood up.
Stretching, Aegnor yawned. The morning sun shined on his face, causing him to squint. He sat up slowly so the bed didn't creak. The boathouse pitched back and forth slightly, and Aegnor resisted the urge to vomit his last meal. He made his way to his fishing rod and donned his straw hat. It seemed to be a good day for fishing, but then again that was every day in Crossroad Mire. He stifled a yawn and made his way up towards the boat's deck. He climbed up and sat down on his chair. Whistling to himself, he cast his line and waited for a fish to reel in. The waves made the boat rock, and if it weren't for the rope holding it back Aegnor was sure it would've floated away. Aegnor waited and found himself nodding off. Shaking himself he saw an approaching barge. Behind it was another ship, but it wasn't a barge. There seemed to be a multitude of people aboard the vessel, all of different shapes and sizes. He raced to his steering wheel and started to turn the vessel around in preparation of the arriving boat. As he steered his vessel back towards the docks he found himself wondering about the type of people in the approaching boat. What could they be here for, he wondered. What type of strange ingredients will this batch get their hands on? What fortune could one gain in such a place as this? Back home, you would've found anything to your liking immediately, without any pickpockets to bother you, as well.
A bark behind him broke his train of thought. Leela had woken up. Smiling he rolled up his pant leg let her lick his toes. He had found her abandoned one day in the docks and fed her whatever he could catch. She became fond of him, over the years. She hopped up and down, trying to get his attention. ''Down, girl. Don't get too excited just yet.'' He told her. Leela obeyed his command, as all dogs do, and Aegnor continued sailing quietly. His mind was full of thoughts of the ship and its passengers. He hasn't seen any visitors in Crossroad Mire recenty. Why now, all of a sudden?
''Best not to question it, aye Leela?'' Leela barked enthusiastically.
Aegnor arrived at the dock and hurriedly climbed down from his ship and awaited the boat.
((OOC: Finally finished! Sorry it took so long, Namidre Dhendizad. I was just giving my creative juices a bit of a workout with this, plus I had a school test I had to study for. Hope it's worth the wait!))
