I ventured out as soon as the meeting ended and proceeded towards the docks to have a rest. I was wondering if I should go back to Dol Amroth or just wait until the operation starts. I ventured too close to the edge which ended for me falling into the water. I had no trouble with swimming but never did it while wearing the heavy armour so I was sinking fast like a stone before I saw someone jumping after me and felt a hand under my shoulders. We swam that way towards the ship and then I recognized the person that helped me come onboard. "Thank you, It's nice to see you again..." - I smiled then at her, standing up. She chuckled then looked at me. "Nice? Oh oh captain. I am afraid I need give you a lecture for upcoming mission and you are going to hate me.." - Nyraewyn then said in a moment still looking at me. "Believe me, nothing is going make me to hate you." - I then said with a serious tone. She was the closest friend for me and I wouldn't just hate her for a couple of words - pleasant or unpleasant ones. "Also, thank you for backing me up." - She said then about the meeting. Nyraewyn seemed to really be happy to come with us for that task despite the danger. "You know I hate the idea of putting you in danger, but I don't think that we can make it without you. He will probably make me regret this words when he hears about it..." - I looked at her while saying this and I knew that she understood what I meant. Nyraewyn shook her head. "He or you no need worry. I didn't tell that some people are immune to plague. It is not a one form of it, they can vary. I have encountered two plague forms, tho second one more was like a lung disease..yet I won't get sick. I have never had a flue even." - She then said and shrugged. I then nodded while still looking at her. "And better let it stay like this. I would kill myself if anything happened to you on my watch." - I said and I really meant it. I couldn't stand losing my best friend or just the thought of it. "Now, you get dry or you catch a flue and then I got some explaining to do" - She then said looking at my water soaked armour. I then just nodded once again and turned around. "I'll go and change. Just give me a moment" - I said but then she followed me to check on my ribsides that she secured right before I left for Dol Amroth. After she had done so I just went to my bags to get some dry clothes then came back to her. "So where to you wish speak?" - She asked me as soon as I approached. I then decided that I should meet the others on spot of the task. "My ship leaves in some hours. We can go wherever you like." - I answered then and looked at her. "Not here..don't wanna scare.." - She then pointed at the sailors standing by their ships. "Big island you got here..Really" - She then continued as I was following her. We found right spot not long after and spend the rest of the time on proper explanations and reassuring each other about the task.
