[As soon as the sun did not rise on the 1st, like others had suggested it would, Gan Ning wanted off Isla Empieza. He put out the call to his crew - get on the ship, leave no man behind. Or woman, Cynthia.

The storm hit while they were two days out from the island. It would take all hands on deck to keep the Nightfury from capsizing, good thing they have a couple of solid dragons to keep things in check. Just watch out for Gaius and his fiery pendant! By the time the storm blows out in the wee hours on the 4th, the charts put them drifting near to Eternal Bliss. Are the residents still pissed at pirates for what Kodachi did? Who cares, they need to land to make repairs. And maybe score some treasure, if anyone wants to go through the marriage requirement.

[watches him, and can't help but chuckle a little]

D'ya need me to tie you to the deck or somethin'?

[Hiccup leashes can be arranged]

[A hand goes up.]

Oh no! No, I'll be fine!

[He says, just as another wave rolls the whole ship and sends him running into the mast. Again.]

[youhearthebells]

[Face. Palm.]

Seriously, kid, don't make me tie ya to the mast. I ain't losin' anybody!

[summing_it_up]

UrghTHAT was a minor. Uh. Thing! I can't feel my face...

...Okay, maybe some kind of tether would be good.

[No sweat! Gan Ning darts across to where they've got the extra rope and spools out a length that should allow Hiccup to traverse the deck without falling into the sea. He has to wait for the ship to roll back the other way to get back to him, though. Sliding across the wet decking all the way.]

Here, this'll help for now. Just make sure to untie yourself before you go inside!

[a quick knot and boom, he's tethered well enough for deck work]

[summing_it_up]

[Best captain ever. Hiccup hangs on, watching how quickly that all comes together.]

Okay! Thanks!

[youhearthebells]

[gives him a hearty pat, which probably doesn't help]

Meetcha on the other end, we'll get everything battened down and then get outta the rain.

[summing_it_up]

[Yeah, that'll take him a moment to recover. He nods.]

All right...!

[And there he goes, wobbling to and fro, rope tether trailing behind him.]
