Marinette's day was so full of wedding preparations, dress fittings, and crash courses in nobility that by the time evening had come, she was tired enough to sleep for a week. But she had work to do. With a quiet groan, Marinette picked herself up off of the bed and dressed in the plainest, darkest clothes she could find.
Under the cover of night, Marinette snuck down to the beach. It didn't take her long to find the, now docked, boat.
Before she could even approach it, however, a voice appeared from behind her, "Well now, ain't it a bit late for such a pretty young lass to be wandering the beach on her own?" Despite herself, Marinette jumped. Turning around, she found that the voice belonged to an old man, with kind eyes and an easy smile.
"Not if she's looking for sailors." Marinette replied with a smile.
The old man laughed, "Well I can't argue with that. Why would you happen to be looking for sailors, young miss?"
"I was actually hoping you might be able to tell me some stories."
"Any sailor can tell a story. But I get the feeling you're looking for one in particular."
"And if I am?"
For a time, the old man stood in silence thinking over the decision he was about to make. Marinette waited patiently the entire time, hoping he could help her. Finally, he sighed and spoke, "Then I'd invite onto my ship and ask you what you were looking for."
With a smile, Marinette followed the kind captain onto his boat.
