Faylin had found rather quickly that sleep was not easily found on the rocking ship in the sea. She had never been on one of the boats before, and she'd be happy to never be on one again. The first couple days it had been all she could do to not retch over the side, but that, at least, had faded.

It was still early in the night, enough to where she knew there was no point in trying to sleep. Instead, she wandered the ship, doing her best to not stagger when it rocked over a particularly tall wave. She smiled and offered pleasantries to any of the soldiers who looked her way, sometimes stopping to sit and chat with them, wanting to learn all she could of those under her charge.

As she continued making her way through the ship, she came across a solitary soldier standing by the edge of the ship. As she drew closer, she recognized the woman from the meeting she had called. Stepping up quietly next to her, Faylin carefully rested her arms on the side of the ship. "Have you ever been on a ship before?" she asked.

Faylin turned and studied Zarha as the girl immediately snapped to attention. It was something she wasn't quite used to yet. It felt like just yesterday they had received their promotion, and now they were in the middle of the sea on their way to a different kingdom.

Her eyes traveled up to Zarha's face where they hovered for a moment before she turned back to the watery horizon. "At ease, soldier," she murmured, leaning against the side of the ship once more. "This is also my first time at sea, though I have been outside of Nevermere once before."

Her time in Cambria hadn't left her with many happy memories. The only one, in fact, was the night she had finally relented to her feelings towards Kasper. A small smile tipped up the corners of her mouth, but only briefly before her attention was back on Zarha. "Are you nervous about your new post?" she asked, thought she was certain she already knew the answer to her question.

Faylin was quiet for a bit, the only sound the water slapping against the side of the ship as it was propelled forward. There was something peaceful about being out here, away from the crowds of the city, even if it did make her stomach queasy.

"Tell me about yourself, Zarha." She would try to learn what she could of those under her command, so that she knew what to expect from them.

Faylin smiled sadly and huffed a quiet chuckle. "I'm reminded of my younger self, listening to you." Faylin shook her head a bit, but in a rare move, continued to poke further into Zarha's lack of details. "You said you have siblings. Are you close to any of them?"

She was briefly reminded of her own brother, whom she had only seen at a distance for many years now. It was inevitable that they crossed paths now and then, since they were both in the military, but both dutifully ignored the other. It was easier that way.

Faylin frowned but nodded, "It is true that we give the most of ourselves to Nevermere. But it is worth it, to serve such a great kingdom." Pushing away from side of the ship, she turned back to Zarha, "Still, see to it that you take some time for yourself as well. It may not seem like it now, but companionship is just as important to one's wellbeing as training."

She looked Zarha over once more before offering another small smile, "I think I will retire for the night. You should do the same so you are well rested once we arrive." She'd turn and head off into the ship if Zarha didn't stop her.
