Yvaine doesn't eat much - well, to be completely honest, she doesn't eat at all - but it all does look rather lovely and the glass of water is cool and pleasant as she runs her fingers along the rim.

She listens eagerly to the hum of voices and the Captain's stories are far better than half of the ones that her sisters have told her. This might be because they are real, but that is of little matter. They are fascinating all the same.

She finds herself grinning rather widely as she is led to her cabin - borrowed from Meggot, who will be taking a hammock despite her urgings to the contrary (She can be polite on occasion, hard as it is to believe.) - and she lays back on the bed, even more pleased with her new clothes. (Also borrowed from Meggot.)

Things are looking pretty up at the moment. It's surprisingly nice.
