'Reunited' with Y a couple of weeks ago after what transpired between them last time in Veilara. Discussed it, and was somewhat surprised about Y's comment about being taken back again. Did just that, however. After a game of 'hide and seek' upon arrival, took the amalgam to shore and headed off to grab something to eat for himself, but not before noticing Y's difficulty with the shoes he'd brought. Stopped at the markets, and let Dove choose a more appropriate pair. Continued the trek to the little shack, had some dinner and a drink and then dragged Y back the way they came, passing where they'd usually stop to ferry back to the ship, and instead to the mount stall. Allowed Y to choose the mount, but instantly regretted it upon his choosing. Simply accepted it, and went off on their ride. Had somewhere specific he wanted to take him, and came upon the carnage finally. Explained why no one ever visits it. Humoured by the fact he was the only one who knew the truth.. well until he told Y. Told Dove that there were probably plenty of things to find through the carnage, including gold teeth. Picked up some loose silver coins and pocketed them, then settled and let Y go around collecting any treasures they were drawn to. Built a fire, and shared intimacies with Dove. Dipped in the sea afterwards, conversed around the fire and eventually decided to make their way back since they weren't prepared for a night on the beach. No blankets. Sand in cracks. Stole a sheet on their way to put Y's new treasure in and returned back to the main part of the island, returning to the ship. Back at the shore had discussed the compass Bahari had wanted to give him months ago, but had silently decided he wasn't going to give it to Y just yet. That changed the moment the pair were back in Bahari's quarters, and the man was taking out the compass and pushing it across his desk towards Y. Explained its use, and gave him the pouch to house it in. Spoke afterwards when they settled into bed about things that Bahari felt weird and awkward confessing, despite it being just..... COMMON COURTESY?? But he always feels awkward after intimacies with Y of no fault of Y's at all. Had the bed hogged all night as Dove spread out. But since Bahari sleeps shitty if he's not drunkingly passed out, didn't mind. Startled through his attempts to sleep during it until morning came. Parted from Y. Lowkey surprised that he had stayed the entire night.

Very emotionally and mentally taxing, took a few days for himself and went off to sea alone before responsibilities called him to return. Paid off his tabs, and took his men off to sail, stopping to plunder any smaller vessels in their path to one of the bigger islands a few days travel away. Traded coins for clothing materials and yarn, and turned ship back around to head back to Veilara. Traded that with the merchants for ship necessities and different coins.

Upon his eventual return to forest, visited by Minh and given company throughout the entire day. Conversed through it. Finding curiosity in their interest in the sex workers on his island. Some assumptions flew, but none were asked except why the yokai was so interested. Surprised by the answer. He'd never heard or met someone having pity for such individuals. But respected the Soot's opinion and view. Returned home after the Soot did the same, feeling even more curious about Minh and their mind.

Has spent a couple times with a new companion (Minh) while in forest, both times having conversed. Yesterday's conversation left the Razorbill thoughtful, which continued well into the night after he departed for Veilara.
