Huh? Oh, yeah, it was a Marine cruiser, not some little rowboat. They make long journeys relatively comfortable. Three decks, plenty of space. Not meant to handle a storm like that, though, that's for sure.
[Still, comfortable is all relative. He has no problem sleeping in a hammock and tolerating everything being damp and salty for a couple weeks with forty other Marines all in close quarters. The Ximilia is luxurious in comparison.]
'Course, I've had to deal with rowing through a storm before in a dinghy too but that was just for a day or two, not a month.
If you want, I've already used the simulation room for it a couple times. Less to teach, more to just show off what being on a sailing ship is like, since I guess a bunch of you've never been on one. Any time you want.
[It's an especially easy offer to want to make. Reminds him a little bit of home, for an hour or so, just to feel the wind on his face and the swell of waves under the deck. Plus, you can't actually drown in a simulated ocean if you fall off, so that's pretty good.]
Only one way to find out. But I suppose since it's all based on what I'd want to see, I can just imagine the water flat if you like. Plus, as long as you can see the horizon it's not so bad for most beginners. Folks new to sailing really struggle below decks. Something about seeing your surroundings helps your mind make sense of it.
[Mostly. He shrugs. He hasn't met too many people who regularly get seasick in his world, but maybe it's been bred out of them all after generations.]

[The more she learns about his life, the more she sees just how crazy it was.]
You can survive the sea in a storm, but you trip over your two own feet?
[How has he managed to live this long?]

[He grins, then downs another gulp of his drink.]
I'll teach the sailing stuff to anyone who asks, but I'm keeping the secrets of being an extreme klutz all to myself.

[Daisy smiles at how easily he can lean in to the teasing, even if it's at his own expense. This is why she likes him.]

[Daisy looks at the drink in her hand and decides...]
Maybe afternoon sometime.
[It's already getting late, and who knows how many drinks they're going to have. Although he probably has a much higher tolerance than her.]

Sure, if you're assigning ranks for fun, I like the sound of that one. Tomorrow afternoon it is.
