The cold sea winds blew.
It was the coldest time of the year. It wouldn't get warmer until February of the next year. Soran took Vivian to the pirate ship. Wondering if it was only in his head, Soran felt that Vivian was a little quieter than yesterday. The little girl held his fingers with her little hands, and occasionally looked at him and smiled. This made Soran think about their time at Amber City when Vivian liked to hold his fingers like this.
The pirate ship was filled with scary-looking pirates, but they were all shocked at the arrival of a little girl!
No one dared to ask too much.
