Periodically the captain checked a large brass compass <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/finished" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#finished</a> to the umpteenth degree of shine, huge altimeter (shiny), and massive steam-powered sextant (blazing brilliantly).Finally finished pacing, satisfied they were on course, she turned to her navigator. “Tell the lasses that grubs up.”“Aye, aye, Captain,” Yuri said while her fingers flew over the keyboard.(“Hoist yer spoons, lassie. Benimori got vittles for you in the mess,”) Fate Gear announced. A shrill train whistle screamed, signaling the same. “Get yer vittles on!”Nana took over command as the captain walked toward the mess.Nana’s first act was to turn on the Otherside pair lounging at the railing, mops motionless. “And you two bilge rats, wash yer hands and help Benimori serve. Look smart or you’ll feel a kiss of the Bosun’s cat.”Toriko and Sorawo hurriedly complied and dashed off to help Benimori.“Take these,” Beni said, handing enormous pots of warm, rich-smelling stew. “If you spill any of it, the ship will have your carcass for dinner.” Beni grinned as she waved a huge spoon.“That’s not very pirate,” Toriko observed.Beni lost her smile. “Let’s see you do better.”“Slop any of this swell, I’ll be keelhauling a pair of deck rats before you can say ‘drunken sailor,’” Toriko supplied.Beni whistled in appreciation while Sorawo rolled her eyes.“These two deck rats better be getting this swell to the mates or the cap be slitting our sails,” Sorawo joined in.The other two’s mouths dropped, and they stared at Sorawo. For a moment, it looked like Toriko would drop the pot she held, and Beni’s spoon wavered in the air.Toriko was the first to recover. “Now ye be talking like a pirate, matey.”<a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/TootFic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TootFic</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/Serial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Serial</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/NMPrompts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NMPrompts</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/NMV366" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NMV366</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/NMMP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NMMP</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/UraPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UraPi</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/Steampunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Steampunk</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/Pirates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Pirates</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/UraPiFanFic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UraPiFanFic</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/Metal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Metal</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/JMetal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JMetal</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/Satire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Satire</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/PoliticalSatire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PoliticalSatire</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/ReturnToTheFateGear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ReturnToTheFateGear</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/NMRTTFG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NMRTTFG</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/fanfiction" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@fanfiction</a>

Maomao noted the unusual, fluffy riding outfit the woman wore. “An excellent choice for a novice rider,” she said to the small <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/arched" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#arched</a> stems of the “Yín Yáng Huò” she was examining, its anchor-shaped leaves faintly brushing her <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/shin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#shin</a>. “The question is, did the bulky outfit work?” If the woman had been hurt, helping her would be a lot of trouble; however, didn’t Mao have a duty to help her?It was a question to consider seriously. Her father had followed his conscience, and look where that got him—the tendons removed from his knee for doing his best to save a baby of imperial birth She sighed. As much as it pained her, helping was the right thing and probably wouldn’t have such dire consequences. Parin would have to make do with the “Raunchy Goat Medicine”—as Parin called it—the apothecary had already gathered. Rain pattered around her, its rhythm deepening as she neared the fallen woman. The wind sighed low in the grass. If Mao had been superstitious, she would have thought it said, “You’ll be sorry.”The day had begun badly and was getting worse. First, she’d been called out on mysterious business in the country. Next, the carriage in which she had been riding had thrown a wheel, and now this woman. The rain; however, didn’t bother her. She was hoping to spot Zhu Ling, Fang Feng, or Tu Fu Ling. She preferred to dig them when the soil was soft after a rain. The last of those was always popular at her shop, a sovereign cure for men’s sores of shame.It might be a profitable day. She had already found some Mu Tong along the road. And yes, she was sure it wasn’t Guan Mu Tong; only a novice would make that mistake.As the young apothecary approached as the woman sat up. “Are you hurt?” she asked.The woman paid no mind, looking after her horse. “I can’t believe a horse betrayed me.”“Why the woman wasn’t thrown more often, Mao asked herself. Considering her supine riding posture, she did not seem an experienced rider. Instead of saying that, she asked again, “Are you hurt? If not, I have herbs to gather.”“I’m fine. But thank you for asking,” the woman replied.Mao studied her. Her smile was innocent. She was healthy with ample flesh, a surplus even, clearly not poor. One didn’t get that weight on a poverty diet unless you were ill. Her padded clothes were unusual. She resembled a chimera: part human and part sheep. They were well-tailored and had properly protected the woman.Well, if she was alright, Mao could get on with her herb gathering. As soon as they repaired the carriage, she would need to leave.Part 1 of 8: To be continued.Sequel to: "The Norns" <a href="https://www.pixiv.net/novel/series/14017710" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.pixiv.net/novel/series/14017710</a><a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/Wss366" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Wss366</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/MastoPrompt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MastoPrompt</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/TootFic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TootFic</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/Serial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Serial</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/NMPrompts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NMPrompts</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/NMV366" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NMV366</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/NMMP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NMMP</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/%E8%96%AC%E5%B1%8B%E3%81%AE%E3%81%B2%E3%81%A8%E3%82%8A%E3%81%94%E3%81%A8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#薬屋のひとりごと</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/ApothecaryDiaries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ApothecaryDiaries</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/LightNovel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LightNovel</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/Manga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Manga</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/Anime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Anime</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/Fantasy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fantasy</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/botany" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#botany</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/SliceOfLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SliceOfLife</a>

My sister and I sat quietly for a while, waiting for him to wake. His face looked calm. There was a small graze on his shin and a smaller one on his forehead. Had the tumour affected his balance? When he woke up, his dark eyes became alert almost instantly. I still had tears in mine. The conversation was warm but a bit clumsy: he struggled to find previously familiar words. The three of us chatted, then sat quietly, peacefully. When a doctor came we left him briefly, crying, past nurses on their break. Another brief visit. And then we each hugged him and said goodbye. As my sister and I walked down the corridor, letting our breath catch and our tears fall, we walked past some young nurses again. A touch of laughter in my voice: “Are you the same people who saw us crying earlier?” Someone replied “It’s fine” and we kept walking, our arms around each other, holding each other up.
