Tristran, feeling less like a moron and more like himself, chances watching the two dancing again.
He notices that Tobias and Meggot are now dancing together too, joining the small group. Several other crew-members are dancing solo, hopping around on one foot then the other, as Oddness and his band start a new, more up-beat song. It's very folksy, and it reminds him a little of home.
Suddenly, he very much misses it. Adventures are fine and good, and there are things he could stand to change in Wall, but there is the matter of family, and of the things he's known all his life.
Hopping off the cart, Tristran makes his way past the dancing, inconspicuously passing Yvaine and the captain until he is more or less by himself at the stern of the ship. It is darker without the lamplight but it's peaceful. Crossing his arms, he leans his elbows against the railing and stares out into the open space.
