is standing upon a large pebble beach and says to ALL: **When Olaf's horn shatters the peace with an earsplitting blast Her face snaps first toward that sound, then out to thassa's vastness, though She can see nothing. Still a faint sound reaches alert ears...a smile graces full crimson lips...Captain had said He'd make sure She knew it was the Talendar coming in, and so He had. For coming across teh water's surface, faint yet clear, are the strains of a song bawdy enough to make an Oarsman blush....with a very particular error in the chorus...one that had driven Her to distraction when the Crew sang it around MaiTai as a Child.**

She grins, remembering**

is standing upon a large pebble beach and says to ALL: **For many long ehns She stands there in silence listening. In time come distinctive sounds. Boats splashing down heavily....they would already be loaded to save time...then oars slicing through Thassa's mirrored ripples. A few grunts and curses....some words in a harsh and gutteral dialect...the wooden hulls swishing through the water with those little cresting waves at the bow.**

When the boats come to the jetty, She hears teh Men climbing up, then more grunts and curses. katie tells Her there are three boats, each with six big barrels...She grins**

She informs katie that all of the fruits and vegetables in those barrels re dried, so there is really a LOT of food in each one. She does nto mention that later tonight She will have those barrels hidden from marauders.**

is standing upon the jetty, overlooking the beach and Thassa and says to ALL: **When the next shift of boats comes in, katie tells Her that these contain many many shocks of dried sa-tarna, still on the stalks. The Woman smiles a little, explaining that the straw has many uses....insulation, basket weaving, animal feed, even to be chopped up and mixed into mud for adobe bricks or tilled into the soil to make it richer for future plantings**

is standing upon the jetty, overlooking the beach and Thassa and says to ALL: **katie does a rough count....something like fifteen shocks in each boat, and four boatloads of the unusually voluminous variety of cargo....approximately sixty shocks. The Woman's firey head nods...that's about right. She tells katie it will need threshed as soon as possible....round up some thralls for that task....use flails like we did in Kassar...then save every last particle of the seed and straws. At the Woman's order, these go to the rough makeshift barn, passed up and stacked like so much kindling to keep them off the ground and away from insects**

These seem to be many large baskets...each with a woven lid....yet teh bottoms are of some sort of wood. The Woman laughs, and explains that these are baskets woven onto giant gourds, good for holding live fish in water and many other things....that Nyah has requested a few some time ago. Also in this load are a number of hatchets and axes for chopping wood, as well as the whetstones to keep every blade on Hulneth razor sharp for many years to come**
