Yiski:
--Over the Skies of Yannock--
Despite the new estimates, the group somehow managed to arrive at Yannock only two hours behind their initial arrival time. Taking in a deep breath, one could taste the saltiness of the Chill Sea. Many of the crewmen still had the heavy clothes they wore during the sandstorm to now combat the cold air brushing against the ships.
Off in the distance, the group could see three ships off near the Chill Sea coast. Yiski used his scope and identified the Yeshan pyramidion and galleon. Yiski's jaw seemed to dropped when he got a good look at the third ship the Tengshe. Yiski went up to the helm to get Zill's opinion. On the way up, Yiski thought to himself.
"Those Yeshans sure know how to make fancy ships."
Arriving at the helm, Lauren also shared in Yiski's initial reaction to seeing the Tengshe.
"Is that where we're holding the wedding?!"
"Yup."
"Roland really hit the jackpot with her huh?"
"In more ways than one."
Lauren gave a small laugh as Yiski went to the radio. Before he could call over to Zill.
"Yiski! You see that ship off in the distance? Flak. You could probably host multiple weddings on it."
Lauren saw a glimpse of a sly grin coming across his face.
"Well, if you feel that way, how about you and Jun make it a double wedding?"
"CAN WE ADMIRAL!!! PLEASE?!!!"
"Flak Yiski. You see what you've caused now?"
"I know exactly what I did. Enjoy."
Yiski then switched frequencies to match up with Shen and Liu's.
"Yiski to Shen. We're in sight."
"Shen to Yiski. We see you. Good to see you made it. A bit late though."
"Funny you should say that. Once we get on board, we'll talk about it."
"Understood."
Captain Lockheart:
Lockheart and Cecelia wake up aboard the Commodore Beckett Lockheart runs up to the deck to see what happened, he looked at the flare and didn't think too heavily of it. He went back to his quarters, gave Cecelia a quick kiss, before falling asleep again.
Yiski:
--On Board Tengshe--
After boarding from their respective ships, the group finds themselves in awe of the Tengshe up close. The cruise ship was the most decorated and ornate ship anyone had ever seen. Sure there were events in Anvala where there were parades, but most of the time it involved putting some shiny trim along the ships railing. Tengshe in comparison made Shen and Liu's mansion look like a wooden shack.
BdrLineAzn:
--Tengshe--
After docking the vessels inside the built-in dock, everyone from the different ships met on the platform. Liu spots her children and rushes towards them and embraced both of them in a hug.
"Its good to finally see you guys again"
"Mother, it been only two weeks"
"I know, but still"
Shen and Huan reaches them.
"Come on dear, i think you are choking them."
"Sorry, just excited."
Liu breaks from her hug giving Ny-Lee and BdrLine some air. After a breather, BdrLine turns to his parents.
"So the rest of the family on board?"
"Some are when the Tengshe left port, but everyone else should arrive later this evening"
A cruise coordinator then goes up to the group.
"Councilman Zhao."
"Yes."
"If you and your group please follow me to the main lobby, we can check you in and lead you to your rooms."
"Very well, and our luggage?"
"We will transport them to your rooms, if you may."
The coordinator then leads everyone to the main lobby. On the way, he tells everyone what is on the gigantic cruise ship and the schedule. Moment later they are in the main lobby.
"Alright, this will take a few minutes... ...and done. Here are your keys."
He hands everyone their room keys.
BdrLine
"Finally a room for myself, first class too."
Shen
"Actually son, you'll be sharing one with your brother."
"Really"
"Really"
Both Shen and Liu laugh at their sons reactions. Eventually, everyone is escorted to their rooms as Shink and Paradox have their own single rooms, Zill and Jun'ko have a room to themselves, Roland and Ny-Lee obviously have a room to themselves as well, Shen and Liu also, but when the coordinator leads Yiski and Lauren to a room, he turns to them.
"I'm sorry, we didnt expect more guests. So you two will be sharing this one. Oh we will be serving dinner for the whole party out in the first-class dining hall."
Yiski:
--Tengshe--
Yiski and Lauren both glared at the coordinator causing him to clear his throat and immediately flee. Yiski gave a long sigh.
"Well, we might as well see what we've got."
Lauren nods and Yiski opens the door to their room. Like many of the other rooms, it's first class. The hard interior looked to be marble. The ceiling had a jade and gold chandelier. The room's bathroom was also large and spacious. It contained both a tub and shower which seemed to be able to hold six people. The room was immaculate and stunning. Everything seemed to be in order.
"Um... Yiski? We might have a slight problem."
"Aside from us sharing a room?"
"Yeah."
Yiski turned to face Lauren and saw her pointing over to the bed. That's right bed, singular. There sat a single king-sized bed which could definitely hold at least four people, but the problem was still there was only one.
Yiski scans the room for a second time and notices there isn't a couch. Yiski curses to himself and scratches the back of his head.
"Well, we can deal with this later. I'm gonna head down to the dinnin' hall. You comin'?"
"Not quite. I'm going to take a shower. I still feel like I have sand in places where it shouldn't be."
Her last statement brought a mental image to Yiski's mind which he quickly dispelled. Too bad Lauren noticed some of Yiski's expression and decided to tease him more.
"You know. You could join me and help me get the sand out."
Yiski walked out of the room and shut the door behind him. He started walking down the hall before stopping a moment.
"Skies... the hell am I doin'?"
Meanwhile, Roland is in dinning room along with Ny-Lee and her parents. The two have settled into a table. Along with those four are a few other individuals which Roland could already tell were high-ranking officials of some sort. Even more so, he noticed a couple of them shooting him glares. Given his lack of experience with them, he became slightly unnerved and anxious.
Ny-Lee noticing Roland's anxiety scans the room to see what's causing it and notices those giving Roland hateful and threatening glares. Instead of confronting them, she quickly gives Roland a surprise hug and kiss on the lips. This surprises her parents who for the first time witnessing a PDA moment from the couple.
