The sailor that Caina was speaking to glanced at her nervously. Why, pray tell, was she asking how the boat was made? It seemed wierd, somehow. He wasn't exactly sure what it was, but her questions made him a bit uncomfortable.
"How the boat was made? Uhm... well..." He pointed to a forest on the west shoreline. "See, a bunch of young ones practice flying over there, and see, they're not that good at it and all, so they tend to knock some of the trees down and summat. We get wood from that, and various other places..." He rested an arm on the ship's ledge, pondering for a moment.
"I have to get back to my work now," he commented, and trudged off.
Myrii didn't see any runes or symbols of real importance, except for a few of the phoenix's runic letters spelling out

Raishilliah was near the stern, looking out to sea, when Yamna crept up.
"Raishilliah, can I talk to you for a moment?" he asked in a low voice.
"Whaaa..." She looked up, utterly startled.
"Oh, Yamna. It is just you. Alright, what is it?"
"It is about why I came with you so readily... I sensed that something was about and I did not want to be alone in the volcano with it," he explained worriedly.
Raishilliah was silent. This wasn't something she'd been expecting.
"All right, I understand," she said finally. "We need not tell the others, though. No need to worry them. If any problems arise, we can handle them..."
Their eyes met with an understanding glance. The secret was safe.
