Winters hurriedly shook his head, "No, it didn't move, and your house didn't move either, right?"
"It didn't move either. I'm heading back to work first, and after I get off work this evening, I'll come find you!"
"It's a deal!"
After a brief conversation, the two separated again. Winters had never expected that he would run into an old friend and classmate on the docks just after returning to Sea Blue.
As he was reflecting on the notion that life has encounters everywhere, the four passengers from the Bandit Gull also disembarked and headed toward Winters from the jetty.
As they passed by Winters, one of the passengers adjusted his hat and nodded at Winters with a smile.
Having fought pirates together before, although Winters didn't know who these four passengers were, they shared a camaraderie as comrades-in-arms, prompting him to return the nod with a smile.
