Of course we were delayed because we rescued a beautiful young Parsi woman from sutee. It was touch and go but due to the quick thinking of our valet, Passp... Ohhh, wrong story.

What really happened was that someone, naming no names, got lost in the Haji Ali Daragh, but we should be on our way again soon. We might have to replenish the facilitation fund.

Did we send a search party, or just Ship's Dragon?

The causeway was impassable because of high tide so we had to send Ship's Dragon. But you know the Dragon. Got cosy drinking tea and discussing astronomy with a group of scholarly pilgrims and our lost lamb had almost found their way back by then but we'd paid the bribes trespass fee already.

The two chests of tea are an excellent and welcome addition our stores so it wasn't a complete misadventure.

Lemon?
Milk?

Honey?

Just milk, thank you (though some teas I like without milk...).

*drinks* Thank you!

I take advantage of opportunities as they arise.
Having a plan can be limiting.

I sat down in the nano wars room last night and crunched out 1.2k--not bad for a half hour. I recommend it if you really wanna get stuff done, quickly.

We also appeared as extras in the forthcoming Bollywood epic MAI TUMSE PYAAR KAARTA HOON (Transl. "I love you")!

All we did was bulk out the crowd in the big dance number, but, if I remember rightly, one of us managed to pounce on SRK for his autograph during lunch break?

Really? Did whoever-it-was come away with SRK's shirt? Because if so, that was probably whatho. She's sneaky that way.

With SRK in it? What a decorative addition to the crew.

Come on! We're sailing around the world; we have to liberate at least one person from India. It's tradishun.

*mutter mutter* ...international conventions on human trafficking whatever. We weren't going to sell him. Just keep him for a while. Until Gdansk.

As Captain and Platypus I would probably have to insist he were left behind if I saw him.

Of course if I were up in the Dragon's Cabin drinking some of the delicious tea Ship's Dragon brought aboard, I might not see him until we'd left port...

I almost don't believe this but I read it so it must be true. The regency romance I just picked up has an Indian amah character that the heroine rescued from suttee. Formulaic genre fiction, I'm so proud of you!

YAY. I love it when heroines do heroic rescues!
