To be on the sea for five weeks could be maddening, but a peaceful five weeks without any sightings of Fair Folk raiders is far more preferable than an "exciting" fate should one fall into the Rakshas' clutches.
The sound of the sanxian playing during the voyage so far provided by the VIP on board, Brilliant Snow Crow, is the only thing that breaks up the monotony of the trip. As the ship moves midway through the Dreaming Sea, normally considered the most dangerous portion of the trip, Brilliant Snow Crow's performance becomes softer, as if trying to calm the passengers and crew while trying to minimize his volume.
Another thing to be thankful for is the weather, which is quite windy but generally calm, and the clouds provide some measure of shade without colliding with each other enough to gather into storm clouds, enabling this trip to remain smooth and swift. And it is at this midway point where Haven's assigned escort ship, The Spry Mollusk, will accompany the merchant's vessel for the remainder of the journey.
Brilliant Snow Crow is a handsome young man with snow white hair and well-tailored blue silk clothes. He has a sanxian made from fine antique wood with blue jade parts and silvery strings. He is also never seen without a solid blue jade smoking pipe with delicate wires wrapped around the luxury item. He is friendly to the rest of the passengers and often hosts feasts on the deck of the luxury vessel for all passengers at his expense, making use of the mingling sessions to talk to each passenger and ask for their life stories, which under the influence of good food and wine, the passengers are all too willing to tell. He has a bodyguard who is very quiet and keeps to himself, preferring to stay in a quiet corner with line of sight to his charge and remain still, till the point where one could mistake him for a statue. When probed about his name, he will simply reply "Strong Oak" and resumes his watch and end the conversation. The only time the man is seen talking is when he is privately conferring with Brilliant Snow Crow, exuding a sort of aura that makes it very clear that his conversation with his employers is private and nobody should get close.
In the morning, when the two ships meet in the open sea the collective passengers held their breath as they behold the gossamer fittings and decorations on The Spry Mollusk, but it is only when the captain and crew wave the flag of Haven that a collective sigh of relief washes over the deck, with some small cheers.
