“Are you offering to come Topside and entertain us?” the captain asked with a grin.
“Of course, of course,” Wallace declared. “I want her feeling right as rain!”
Hearing those words both Marion’s and Bran’s heads snapped up, their eyes meeting with those of the man behind the mask.
“And might a curious observer perhaps be invited Topside to see how the operation truly works?”
The captain regarded Marion with a long appraising look before nodding. “Certainly. We will make arrangements to gather all of us together to enjoy some food and fine entertainment before our next port of call.”
Jordan suddenly jumped, reaching out a hand to press her palm flat to the window glass, and Bran leaned around Marion to see what had excited her so much and so suddenly.
In the belly of the other airship was the same young man with the ragged beard and blond hair who had asked Marion for a ticket aboard this ship instead of the one on which he now rode. He seemed as much an unwilling captive as Jordan, and her attention was absolutely fixed on him.
And his attention was likewise fixed on her.
What had the captain called him?
Ah, yes: Rowen.
Across the distance Bran watched as Rowen reached up to his chest and touched the spot where his heart resided before pointing to Jordan and then touching his sleeve.
