An Old Man's Quest: Part 3

Yay! 300+

Savina listened as Marcus explained where it was that he had walked from. The older canine dismissed it as inconsequential, but she could imagine it had to be a bit of a chore to walk so far with his age and the fact that he required the help of a cane to move around. This wasn't to say that she underestimated the old dog at all, she was simply an empathetic person and seeing as her own sister had issues with her leg and walking around, she could only imagine what it must be like for Marcus. There was nothing about him that even hinted at complaint though, and for this she admired him. "Anchored? So you have your own ship?" She couldn't imagine that any merchant vessel would have anchored themselves here. Nova Scotia may have been populated, but she knew enough to know that it was not on any European trade routes.


The refined English gentleman took his set and set his cane aside, relaxing into the chair. It must have felt awfully good to sit down after such a trek to make it here. As he spoke again, a somewhat sly smile crossed his face and she wondered what for. The answer came right after her mind asked the question though, and she couldn't help but smile more broadly herself. "Ah, so you've met the other infamous Marino siblings," she said, her tone clearly jesting. There wasn't really anything infamous about them. "I'm sure Ehno was talking your ear off, he was always the adventurer among us." He had been the first of them to leave their birth pack back in Italy, and she had been the last. At one time she might have been surprised by the fact that someone had met members of her family before they met her. With how prolific the Marino line had become here, though, she barely batted a lash at it.
