Gael barely spoke to Aurelia and Zinjo about their experience in Carmen's temple. The being of darkness compromised them in a way they didn't understand. Gael refused to talk about what happened in the temple.
Zinjo and Aurelia discussed it at length, "I hope Gael is okay, dark princess. Our time in the temple rattled him," Zinjo's naked body smothered Aurelia for a moment, and she giggled.
"Stop it. We've wasted enough time with that. Our goal is to find out who can forge the bottles besides Carmen. Not figure how many times we can pleasure each other," Aurelia playfully shoved Zinjo off her and straddled him. "We are getting dressed now, and we have to talk to Gael. I don't like the idea of a rattled captain being in charge of the ship."
"You don't wish to meet the dark priestess again?"
"Do you?"
