Despite the cold weather of Brimstone, the heavy lifting of boxes demanded so much strength that after the fourth, Rob's forehead was dripping in sweat and he had unbuttoned most of his shirt. The young fae breathed heavily and was about to pick up another box, when a set of giggles caught his attention.
Two fir bolg women, laughing and swaying their dresses while watching the men in uniform work. He smiled, nudged Ishaan when he reached his side and ran his fingers through his dark hair, pulling it away from his face.
"I think we've carried enough boxes, yeah?" Rob asked Ishaan, while locking eyes with one of them.

General Callahan showed the prisoners to their prison carriage while Klaire and Rowan climbed the horses that were assigned to them. Together they rode to the navy base, where the captain stood currently, looking out the window at her ship.
"You're lucky you came in good weather." Callahan said soon after entering her office, where five people waited for their arrival. Klaire smiled nervously at the way they looked at her expectantly. "Captain Byrn, these are the cadets from the files I sent you. The very best at Brimstone."
Klaire expected she would have at least some time to prepare before interviewing potential crew members, but no, she'd have to improvise.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Captain Byrn of the Dragonfly, and this is our Sword and gun master, Rowan Adfir." She looked over the five candidates, trying to guess who they were based on appearance. She'd read so many files it'd be impossible to remember all of them, but she'd remember at least her two favorite ones. Despite the great achievements some of them had on their portfolio, Klaire would learn from her mistakes and test them all for their cooking skills - as well as basic decency. "Why don't start with... Names?"
