When: Present Day Where: Boat - Ocean Outside Star City With: Garth @seawavcs
“I’m so pleased you had the time to meet with me again, Garth.” Chou smiled, the expression subtle and patient as he sat with a practiced elegance on the built-in bench the modest boat had. It was a small vessel, but had a strong motor and was easy enough to use. When the other had arrived at the docks at the allotted time, Chou had explained he’d hired the boat himself, wanting the to have privacy to talk; it was easier for him to manipulate a conversation to his liking without an audience after all.
The craft wasn’t difficult to man so he’d had them out to sea within a few minutes; they didn’t go far, the city still in view but it seemed small now, the waves lapped placidly around them, gently rocking the boat and he looked over the edge into the waters below, unable to see a thing yet a cavalcade of life was no-doubt abuzz beneath the surface.
“I cannot help but find it humbling,” he said quietly, “Humans think they own and understand so much of the world yet we’re practically children before the ocean; it’s mysteries are boundless to us, but not to you.” he added, turning back to Garth and smiling, “I should love to see you in your natural homeland. And if you’d enjoy the chance to, by all means go ahead.” he gestured to the sea slightly, “I doubt it will interrupt our conversation.”
