"Why he stuck poor Seaweed with a harpoon and the only thing he got in return was wet." Selkie growled.

"All right I'm in the mood for a story with a ghost." Blue said.
"MacBeth." Caradoc found the book.
"Good find MacBeth," Blue challenged them.

"Ah know, Ah know, tha way they behave is unacceptable, but at the end o' tha day, they're jis tryin' ta make a livin' like any otha Mobian. Some folk need to hunt whales ta survive, even. Who am Ah ta overthrow ah way o' life?" Locke explained.

Selkie nodded, "I know but still what did the whales ever do to them?"

(Blue!that's not a children's story!)


Evermore nodded and climbed up a ladder feeling around."Hrm...this one" se pulled out a red book with gold designs etched into it.She ran her hands over it."Beast,where to find them,and how they came to be .Fantastic!This has gotta have a story in it somewhere" she began to flip thru the book

(Sorry it's on my reading list. Would you have prefered Cinderella?)

Caradoc started searching the lower shelves, "Book with a ghost" He muttered.

"Nuthin'. Ag'in, they hunt whales fer the same reason we hunt fish an' fowl; Ta live. Most do, anyway. Ye an tell who's in the mess fer kicks and profit jis by lookin'." Locke replied. "As fer dragon-huntin'... Aye. That lot is ah different story."

Seaweed huffed at the though.

Locke nodded once in agreement. "Aye ta tha."

Selkie smiled, "Should I wake Kaladin and Douglas?"

Seaweed pulled toward the coast.
