170 - A Return

I'm home.

Friends and family are all well. Some old and new faces -- some deaths that I missed. Food and drink that I'd let slip my mind. I forgot how much I missed the sea, to tell you the truth.

And it was nice to go somewhere that the sun was shining.

Love the new compass, Admiral. Thanks.

Also -- to all the newcomers: Welcome home. Have a peek up on the main deck. Enjoy the food. Make some friends. Try to make yourselves comfortable. You're gonna be here a while.

(ooc: Morgan's back on the Barge. She returned home and went wherever else it is she wanted to go with her time off, and because I'd intended for her to have given her Item to West before she left, the Admiral had to give her a new one.)

Well, well, well, she does return.

Of course she does. Were you afraid she wouldn't?

Afraid of it? No. Anticipating it? Yes.

Why wouldn't I come back?

Why should you come back?

Several reasons. First, I promised to. I've got work to do.

Second, and more importantly -- This is my home.

Your home.

That is something I will never understand.

Why?

Because this place is too unstable.

A life that's too stable is one that's not being lived to the fullest.

There are limits, Morgan.

[He's thoughtful with Harper leaving and Morgan coming back.] What was returning to your ship like? And the ocean air?

It was an interesting change of pace. Nostalgic. But I've gotten used to this rickety old barge. It's not the same.

_{[Not saying anything, but examining her communicator. So that's what this is for.

Very, very interesting.]}

Welcome back, Captain Adams.

Thank you, Monsieur St Just.

Welcome back.

How are you, Adam?

I'm alright. Still adjusting to the fact that West's left...hell, out of the old gang, I'm pretty much the only one who's still an inmate.

I've been adjusting, too. He'll be missed.

You're right about that.

How long's a while?

It differs for everyone. It's been about four years for me, but I'm a bad example.

Meaning, for more people it's less then that, or...?

Less for some. I can't really predict how long some people are going to be here yet.

Guess no one said this was gonna be a short assignment.

Rome wasn't built in a day.

Rome?

Ancient city. Huge empire.

Never heard of it before.

You've never heard of Rome.

Nope.

Huh. Where are you from, then?

Montressor. Where are you from?

Welcome back, Morgan. Your animals are just fine.
