Seafoam Green

The sun went down and night soon came. We had dinner with the rest of the crew, before they began to drink ale. I remember seeing Rowan hang out with the rest of the men, but he never touched a drop of alcohol. 


That night, I had trouble sleeping. I tossed and turned for a few hours, before giving up, and deciding to go up from the cabin to the deck. There I saw Rowan. He stood near the edge of the deck staring at the sea. He looked so peaceful, he looked at home. 


I walked up to him, hearing my footsteps, he turned to me. “Cant sleep?” He asks. 


“The name is Rowan, you’re Weyln, right?” 


“No I don't believe so, I heard someone call out your name earlier today.” 


“I dont regionze you from the last voyage. This your first trip?” 


“Yes, I was just hired a few weeks ago.” 


Rowan and I stood there talking till my eyes grew heavy. 


“I’m going to go back down to the cabin, you coming?” I asked. 


“I’m going to stay out here for a bit longer.” 


Unable to sleep due to the harsh waves, the two of us spent most nights out on the deck, causing us to quickly became friends.
