Ooo, that sounds like a wonderful idea to me! I'd love to get some more family up in here. :}
A dull ache began to creep into Silas’s legs, but it was a sensation that brought him great satisfaction. He knew that this meant he was putting muscles to use that had been left dormant for awhile or had at least not been used as prominently during his time on the boat. Perhaps a little stretching would have remedied the soreness there as well, but the young boy welcomed it. It only heightened this sensation of really feeling alive.
Leaning forward, Silas rested his forearms on his knees and cast his icy gaze on his father. "And sleep on the boat, or find somewhere around here to sleep?" He didn’t really mind either way, but he would keep an eye out for a suitable spot during his explorations if his father was thinking they’d spend the night on land. He stood up, extending to his full height, before casting his gaze to the buildings around them. "Think we might be able to find anything useful?" He turned back towards father and sister, smiling lightly at Lily in reassurance. He had a small inclination that perhaps she was feeling homesick. And if not, she was at least missing their other brothers - he could be sure of that.
