The night had fled but let its gloom behind. Joe Brandis was looking out the window, from his comfortable place on the featherbed. The nights were darker now, the days almost just as bad. What they thought was a storm was in fact the shadows. They fell on the coast and hid the sky. He looked out, trying to see the stars, some guidance sent by Selune, as he so often looked for at sea, but the sky stayed grey and dark. How long had he been sober now? Days only, yet it seemed years. His brother had found him, and he brought hope that Joe had given up long ago. With this task that had been left behind for him by his younger brother, Joe found strength he did not know he still had.
A shape stirred beside him under the furs. Telandra was waking up, turning to face him. The furs slipped from her breasts, yet she made no move to pull them back. Strong in her faith, she was keeper of Selune's Eye Lighthouse and leader of the silverstars of the region.
" What do you have in mind, Joe Brandis, to lay awake so? ", she asked gently.
He smiled.
" I was just thinking that all my life, I looked up to the moon, blessing Selune for guiding our ship. Yet, now that shadows cover the lands, Selune gives me an even better light to guide me through the night.", he said, cupping her breast.
Telandra drew closer and slid her hands under the furs, whispering " Are all ex pirates as charming as a Brandis? "
He chuckled, " You may find other pirates just as charming, but you'll find none as eager to please as me. "
She had her hands between his legs. She understood just what he meant.
Joe semble être plus un Brandis comme son père, de ce que Auburn raconte...
