Finally turning away from the map, Ari watched Mariner work in awe. She was so mesmerised by the skill and precision that he showcased that she forgot about her main goal for a moment, simply following each of his movements with her eyes, until he was finally done. Yes, the sight of the marine’s injuries was unpleasant, but Ari had seen worse in her life, and the grossness of it all was greatly overshadowed by Mariner’s mastery.
Ari simply nodded with the same stern, determined look in her eyes as when she was asking him to help the Marine. She walked up in front of Mariner with her arms folded across her chest. (OOC: Mariner would probably notice that her hand was injured pretty badly from that tree punch)
“I’d like to get to repairing the keel of your ship as soon as possible. One of your crewmates…” she looked around, searching for Mako, but he was nowhere to be seen, “…took my toolbox from the wreckage of my boat. It’s the only thing I need to start working.”
She paused, thinking that she said everything she wanted, when her stomach growled once again, serving as a grim reminder that she hadn’t eaten anything in ages. She continued, this time in a significantly less confident, even slightly sheepish voice:
“Actually… there are two things… do you have… anything to eat?”
