Rou, Trix and Elaith spend the two week voyage rotating chores on the ship and getting to know the crew. Trix enjoys gambling with the crew, supplementing their time with reading a really poorly written romance novel. Rou tries to engage the Captain in conversation to learn more about her, and Elaith relaxes by fishing and collecting scales for future concoctions.
During their last night before reaching Nadros, Trix reveals their discovery about Liam and his research on the blood oath. The group discuss the implications of Vampire relationships, how Liam’s staff might feel about their employer’s identity and the issue of immortality. As the trio move onto the blood oath issue, Trix decides to test out one of the theories by cutting part of their arm to see what happens. The next day, as they close in on the island, Rou sees a strange rippling along the water’s surface.
