[A bedraggled but unharmed friar greets whoever he can reach. His sackcloth habit is torn and some is wrapped over his head to shield his pale gray eyes from the sun.]
If God is willing, we'll need no funerals today. But the storm was rough and landing not easy-- is any man or woman injured or in need? It doesn't matter to me what ship bore you here.
And who is a physiker, to minister when my poorer skills fail?

[Chillingsworth. Now there's a name that evokes madness, an evil woman, and an evil crew.]

Johanssen still has one of my pistol balls in the meat of his back: we knew each other long ago. He will see me hanged if he can, and his masters care more for their purses than for holy orders.
I don't think I'll hang soon, though. I still remember how to disappear, and the places I'm needed most are places a gentleman like Johanssen likes least.

Date: 2013-05-07 06:03 pm (UTC)I wouldn't care to hear that, no. You can keep those sorts of thoughts to yourself.

We should look for fresh water. We'll all need our strength about us.
