OOC: Veritas is still on holiday
*******************************************
Veritas was helping Mithadan get supplies for the ship. She was keeping the list of things needed, and ticked each one off as the deals were struck.

It was getting late in the afternoon, and since most of the provisions had been gotten in, Mithadan called a halt for the day. He was tired and just wanted to lean back in a chair on the deck with his legs on the railing, and let the breeze off the harbor cool him down. And then,there was Angara to entertain. She must not go flying into the city and arouse suspicions. And besides, he thought, there is the matter of those kegs of fine wines and hearty ales - someone needs to do a little testing of their quality. He strode back aboard the ship, telling Veritas that they were done for the day.

Veritas put the list away in the captain's cabin, and went looking for her friends. She knew Child and Rose were headed for the Library, but it was a fine afternoon and she didn't relish the thought of being shut in a room of dusty tomes. Where were Pio and Bird? It was just like them to go haring off seeking fun while others did all the work.

She shook off her feelings of being unjustly left behind, and decided to find the elf and the skin-changer. 'Now, where to look?!', she asked herself.

'Ah, yes, the nearest tavern!'

She raced down the gangplank and waved at Mithadan. 'Be back later!!'
