“I wish Merry was here,” he heard himself saying, and quick thoughts raced through his mind, even as he watched the enemy come charging to the assault. “Well, well, now at any rate I understand poor Denethor a little better. We might die together, Merry and I, and since die we must, why not? Well, as he is not here, I hope he'll find an easier end. But now I must do my best.”

I meant with living on a spaceship. Assuming you have much more experience.

But you're right, a hot bath after a long night of drinking is incredible.

I have never been on ship before, traversing water or the beams between stars. Though there was once an incident with a boat I admit does not linger strongly in my memory. Suffice to say you & I are likely at the same level of experience, roughly speaking.

A hot bath, & a bit of what you had the night before. It never fails to lift my spirit.

I've been in an airship before plenty of times, but nothing spaceworthy, so it seems you're right.

I'm Fortescue. It appears this message went askance, but you've been lovely about it.

An airship? A ship that flies through the air! Somehow that is even more shocking to me than a ship that flies through the stars.

They are only manners, Miss Fortescue, and I hope every day I have the good ones & not the bad!

I know plenty of people who could stand to learn by your good example.

But yes, we travel mostly by air where I'm from. Not as much on the sea, anymore. Only for very large cargo.
