[The Bloody Bay Fleet]

Kelsey rose from her seat, either not noticing or caring that Aynia was exiting without her disguise. As she rose to her feet, she sheathed the dagger she had produced. She stretched and grinned working something out of her muscles. "What's there to do with Laxtavita? If you make a royal declaration towards them, we will be seen as weak. Running and hiding under mummy's skirts."

As they left the tavern, Kelsey paid no attention to the sudden gasps and fear from the tavern, as they see the queen. "How can anyone control a merchant city?" Kelsey asked as they strode to the docks, "it's powerful and wealthy, and your knightly order that has resided there has been bought and bribed by their council." She grinned sourly, "and they are just as opportunistic as we are, my queen. But as you know, we are newly loyal to you and you have tasked us with corraling the southern portal. Because our attentions are elsewhere, they burned our Larger Dryland somewhat, luckily there were no deaths, but they attempted to kidnap our dear Lord Captain Brava, who you may or may not know as perhaps our kindest Lord Captain. they cut her hair and bound her chest to make her appear to be a cabin boy, and ruined her fine clothes that night." Kelsey glared out at the water as they got close to the Soaring Coin. "What would you have us do, my queen? I am sure you understand our bloodlust in this affair."
