The waves lash gently against the wooden posts, the water here has always been calm and passive, it seems to represent the people of this small town. The fishermen here are not boisterous, they are quiet, at least when it comes to sound. They'll talk your ear off if you let them, they have lots of stories to tell. The pier here is long, it extends at least forty feet into the ocean, many ships are anchored to it, many people traverse down it buying and selling their local catches.

dove
I am a dove. I live in a dovecote in the palace.  The king or other people take me with them when they travel far from home, and use me to help them communicate while they are away. Many peace treaties and other important documents have been tied around my leg, to be carried back to the palace.
Fisherman!  What stories are fresh these days?  Have you just come from the sea?  Or just leaving? I have just returned with today's catches! Lots of fish in these waters... That is good news to hear, that is sure.  Any word on the war?  I am being taken to the land in the South to deliver a peace treaty, then to return home right away with the news. Oh none at all.... It is quiet as a fisherman, wasn't even sure the war was still occuring That is fortunate.  Perhaps they have also sent a peace envoy. How is life as a dove? Delivering messages all day I assume? I am taken to all parts of the land by the messengers, then released to fly home with word of peace, or more war.  Some days are joyful, other are not. Must be fun being able to fly, and all. Flying is amazing!  To soar above everyone else!  I have never enjoyed sailing as you do though.  I find the waves rocking me a bit too much. You should try it with me though, I am a very smooth sailor... Isn't that up to the Gods?  I find that flying often is, with the winds and hot air... Ah yes very true dove.
