Week 26
Seas are boilin’ so expect incomin’ as usual as well as shorter’n usual posts from me. I don’t want to attract the Navy’s attention any more than ye. They’ve got no patience fer dissenters ‘o any stripe.
I will tell ye that there are two admirals geared up in th’ East and West, as well as three Captains in th’ East, two South and West and one in the North. Don’t engage any o’ ‘em if ye can help it—but if ye are stuck, there be rumors that the Captains carry maps on ‘em that’ll lead ta shard pieces. If the Navy gets hold ‘o ‘em ye’ll ne’er see them, lest ye launch a full on assault which I wouldn’t recommend. He what brought you here and brings ye back might get tired ‘o doin’ it after so long.
That’ll about serve as yer news as there’s nothin’ else of import ta ye anyway.
Weather
North: Cold but not blisterin’ ly so. Might even get to go in a light jacket near the middle ‘o the week. Watch out fer th’ odd roc since they stir up in th’ spring.
East: Calm an’ cold wi’ a slight chance ‘o kraken. Expect showers throughout the week but next Saturday brace yerselves fer a gale.
West: Brisk and windy, though nothin’ ye can’t handle. Hear there might be a whirlpool a few miles out from Gun Frontier so watch yerself afore ye get sucked onta a reef.
South Hot an’ humid. Almost like summer. Barely any wind ta speak of. No idea what’s goin’ on there but it be what it be.
Now if ye got a question ‘o reasonable levels of idiocy, one question, mind ye, lay it on me. Otherwise I’d best spend the time gettin’ prepared.

[He's actually very upset by this.]
They didn't seem to like Miss Tojiko or Miss Futo.

I haven't learned any new songs since I got my songbook a moon and a half ago. I wanted to buy another from Miss Margie this month, but she was sick. Maybe when you come visit you can bring me a song you'd like me to play for you! Then I can learn more and you get to hear one you really like!
[And yes, he's assuming the eventual visit is a done deal. Because he's a kid and obviously it will happen at some point. But it had been a while since he spoke to Dog, so he has a lot to fill her in on.]
I've been trying to make my own maps. I'm making one for you. It's Isla Empieza's town. It's not totally right because I don't know all the houses and stores, but it's got the fountain and the docks and the gun shop and two of the inns. I'll have to explore the rest of the island before I can map that out. I bet you have a lot of maps. Or Mister Meep does. He probably likes maps a lot.
...do you have a map of= I mean... Um... I want to give you a map of something you don't have a map of yet. So it's useful.
[And so he can say he's sorry for upsetting her the last time they talked.]

If I come, and that be a pretty big if, I'd be happy ta share. But th' Dog's presence'd only cause more trouble than it's worth I'm afraid.
no subject
...we don't have to tell anyone when you come! It can be our secret!
[It was foolproof!]
