Dave shrugs, yawning as he filled his cup again. "It's an interesting way to put it, definitely. Also hey, I'm going home in a bit, I need to study. I'll probably do some last minute studying today and tomorrow, go hardcore on it, and we can talk after the last exam is done."

2015-07-03 08:52:19

🌀

Eridan checked the time, nodding. "Yeah I should probably head out as well. I gotta check by the marina, make sure everything's working on Sabriel an' all that." He pulled the list towards himself, grabbing the other papers and putting them back in his bag. "I'll be in exams practically all day tomorrow. Might even end up napping tomorrow. Might even /sleep/." He grinned, rolling his eyes slightly.

2015-07-03 08:54:35

●

He pretended to gasp in shock, putting a hand over his chest. "Sleep? Dear god,this is a miracle." He laughs, drinking from his mug. "Alright, no problem. And don't forget to catch my gear, I'll send you the name of the store I dropped by. I'll bother you later. Bye"

2015-07-03 08:57:57

🌀

"A miracle or a curse?" He grinned. Eridan gathered up his bag and picked up the list, glancing at it briefly as he stood up. "Just text me the name, I'll drop by on the way." He pulled a set of car keys out of his back pocket, checking he had his phone and everything with him. He smiled at Dave as he made to walk out. "Bother me later Dave, see you."

2015-07-03 09:02:50

●

He waved at Eridam as he walked out, smiling. "Oh I will. Better be counting on it." He texted him the location of the store before he forgot, and hurried to finish his coffee. He excused himself, saying he wouldnt be working that day, and headed home to study as he said he would, for once in his life

2015-07-03 09:05:44

🌀

Eridan checked his phone when it dinged, hurrying to his car. He set out for the place Dave texted him, deciding on going there first as the logical idea instead of driving any more than he needed to.

Once done there (with a minor problem which he smoothed over after showing a text from Dave with the address of the place), he collected up the stuff needed, double checking everything before heading out to the marina.

Once on Sabriel, he took a few photos of the cabins, the kitchenette and couches. It all worked, the couches merely being the seats for the fold up table by the inner mast, an' the kitchenette backing on that, both located between the front bunk and the back bunk. He took photos of the cockpit as well, and the above deck.

He sent all of these photos to Dave.

He had started a few minutes ago when he got the text, but smiled as he scrolled past each, biting his lip in excitement.

Well that was the definition of reassuring. He did suppose that kind of crap had sentimental value and all, and Eridan had a very short temper. Shaking his head, he sets the phone aside, and gets back to studying

2015-07-04 00:06:18

🌀

Eridan shook his head and put his phone back into his pocket, pulling out his list and going about checking everything was working. He started the engine first, letting it run as he checked the water, the electrics, everything was working.

And the he started on the shopping list he'd need for them both. The toilet needed more paper, and of course food. Maybe a bit more polisher.

It was over an hour later that he'd finished nearly everything important. He'd even found the time to polish the stainless steel bars, railings and posts along the outside of the boat.

Meanwhile, at casa de Strider, Dave was getting bored. He was reading the pages, but when it got down to the summary he had to make of them, he had nothing. He was just not into it.

Setting the books aside after two hours of forced studying, he decided to just go for a walk. Maybe to the marina. Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. He drops by a fast food place to grab something to eat on the way there, and makes his way to the marina while he eats a burrito.

2015-07-04 00:26:24

🌀

Eridan was sitting up top by now, cleaning the base of the mast in frustration. He'd already cleaned the inside of the boom and the sail, and as much as he admired the flight and swiftness of swallows and house martins, he hated cleaning up their fucking shit. All over his once clean deck. Ugh.

Once the base of the mast was done, he climbed down onto the pontoon to attach the hose to the water source, intent on spraying the ship down to get any excess dirt and grime and gross stuff on it. The marina was having an open day of sorts, a showing for a potential buyers of the boats on sale, so the main gates were open to anyone who wanted to come in.

2015-07-04 00:30:21

●

He walked between the boats, looking around, curious to if he'd even find Sabriel. A yatch shouldn't be hard to find, by all means, and he might as well check it out now that he's here. He tried to check the names of the boats as he walked. Second Wind; Carpe diem -nice one, he noted. "Oh captain my captain.", Dave whispered under his breath, before moving along; Cote D'Azur.... it didn't even take that long for him to find Sabriel, he just had happened to hear swearing, and found a guy with a violet streak of hair and horns there. Smiling to himself, he whistled to get his attention, and walked closer

2015-07-04 00:38:28

🌀

The whistle would have brought on another round of intense swearing, bared fangs and flared angry fins, if he had not turned around to see who the fuck whistles at him.

"Aren't you supposed to be studying?" He kinked the hose, walking to shut the water off and letting it drop to raise an eyebrow at Dave. "Or did you give up in the face of whatever it was you said to me earlier." He bent to coil up the hose, slinging it over his arms as he waited for Dave's reply.

2015-07-04 00:44:36

●

"Yeah I was, but then I got bored, and then I got hungry, so now I'm here. What'cha doin' there? Besides being pissed at a boat, apparently." He teased light heartedly, walking closer, until he was right in front of the boat, though avoiding being too close because he was eating, and Eridan looked like he was cleaning. "How long have you been here for?"

2015-07-04 00:47:18

🌀

"Cleaning. Fucking swallows shat all over it again. An' I'm not pissed at the boat. I'm pissed at the people who constantly think its for sale an' try an' put a price on her." He glared over Dave's shoulder at a man walking towards them holding a cheque book. "Next person asking if she's for sail gets to know why seadwellers are deemed fucking insane." He said, loud enough for the man to hear.

He set the hose aside, gesturing for Dave to come up with him. "You make a mess you're cleaning it." He warned, lifting one of the seat cabinets to stow the hose away again, and pulled a brush out for Dave to clean up his crumbs with. "Been here since I left the cafe. Your stuff is in the front cabin, you can have a look inside once you've finished eating."

2015-07-04 00:54:32

●

The Strider laughs softly, covering his mouth so that everything stayed in. "Give 'em a break, today is a special day for that. Just hang a big ass sign saying 'NOT FOR SALE, IF YOU ASK YOU DIE.' That should really give you some peace. And hold on, I'd rather not have to clean anything."

Hurrying to finish, he then shoves the wrapper in his pocket, and brushes the front of his shirt and pants, just to make sure, only then does he get on the boat with him. "Shit man, that's like what, three hours or something? But Sabriel is looking good." He nods in approval, looking around. "I'd tap that. That's how good she looks."

2015-07-04 00:59:19

🌀

"You'd think they'd realise that if a boat doesn't have a bigass 'FOR SALE' sign on it, then it's not for sale." He grumbled, sounding a bit like a sulky child. He stretched a bit, fingers touching the canopy covering the cockpit before he relaxed and looked at Dave. A small smile played on his lips.

"You wanna look inside? I'll give you a very fantastic short tour." He grinned and gestured a bit to the stairs leading into the cabin. "Go right ahead. Sorry if it smells a bit, I was just cleaning the cooker."

2015-07-04 01:28:24

●

"Hell yeah I wanna look inside, that sounds neat." Dave smiles back at him, nodding. He then looks at the stairs. "Don't mind if I do then." Walking in first, he looks around, waiting for Eridan. It didn't smell too bad, luckily, at least Dave didn't seem to mind it.

2015-07-04 01:33:00

🌀

"These stairs are a bitch to walk down when it's wavy, just a warning." He landed beside Dave, opening the door immediately to the left of the stairs. "Right this is the back cabin, mine." It was a wide mattress up off the ground with a little wall to stop him rolling out. "Through that door there is one entrance to the toilet, which is tiny." He pointed out things as he walked Dave through, "switchboard, radios, fridge, emergency switches are all here." He gestured to their right, lifting the lif to show the fridge. "Table and couch thing, which can fold down into a bed, comfortable lying couch thing, which is comfy, cooker, food storage, sink, engine's below my feetere, an' this is the front cabin, which will be yours." He stood aside to let Dave in and look around.

2015-07-04 01:38:20

The inside was bigger than he thought it would be, which was surprising in some levels. It wasn't hard to see he had no recollection of ever being aboard a boat ever. "Alright, noted. I can see myself going against the walls too if it's wavy, this space is tiny." He was referring to the stairs of course. He peeks into the back cabin, a bit surprised that there wasn't more stuff there, but then again, Eridan was just cleaning. He follows him while Eridan speaks, nodding and trying to remember as much as he managed. Once they got to the front cabin, he walked in. It wasn't much different from the back one, just slightly smaller, and the room looked more naked due to lack of use. "It looks fine, I like it." He smiles
