Sergei is sitting, surrounded by a pile of papers and books, he’s reading one…it’s a dictionary.
A large pelican is reading over his shoulder.
Sergei chuckles. “I suppose you’re at a loss for words? Please excuse my pun.”
He ruffles his feathers and then speaks in a harsh voice, “Actually, I am. I was wondering if you and your book could aid me. I have always wanted to know what the word ‘hiraeth’ meant.”
Sergei jumps when the bird talks, before adjusting his reading glasses. “Hiraeth. A beautiful word. To some it refers to a thing of deep nostalgia, such as their childhood and their hometown. A place they are still longing. To others it could refer to a place beyond this realm that they hold deep within their hearts. Like Heaven, or if you have ever read the book series The Lord of The Rings, the Undying Lands would be an example.”
"I have read few books. Yes, it is a beautiful word." His deep eyes close and he whispers, "Hiraeth. Do you feel hiraeth?"
“Oh yes, terribly. Especially now.”
"For where?" His eyes crack open slightly and study you, "And why now especially?"
“Well, assuming you noticed the large cargo ship that had trapped the barnacle in a cloud of fog, that’s where I feel Hiraeth for.” He chuckles somberly.
"You yearn for a lost ship? What was in that ship that is still able to grip your soul?"
“It’s not that I yearn the Ghost Ship. I yearn what it formerly was. My ship. My crew. My friends.”

My name’s Gradius, this is my second account :P I love Hollow Knight and I have been on ddb for a while. Come rp with me anytime! It is my purpose. My title that was given to me by Drummer is…SPIRIT OF THE WEST, GUARDIAN OF THE HOLLOWS.
No cost too great. No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering. Born of God and Void.
“It’s not that I yearn the Ghost Ship. I yearn what it formerly was. My ship. My crew. My friends.”
A salty tear wells up in the Pelican’s eye and trickles down his beak. “Lost companions… they have a way of gripping onto your heart faster than any barnacles. My… condolences.”

“I will try to remember it. A doctor is well valued on any sailing vessel.” He bobs his beak towards you as a sort of farewell and spreads his wings, revealing a wingspan wider than the average man is tall. “Thank you for giving my word, hiraeth, value. Hold fast to yours.” He beats his great wings and rises into the air before swooping down low over the waves.
Normiah is taking a break from training, and is having some root beer in the bar.
Angler has also taken a break, and is using almost all of his hypno-therapy money for gambling.
Sergei emerges from his cabin, yawning, and walks up to Normiah. “Good morning all.”

"Sure are." He says with a grin. "Ya want a chance to practice some of those moves I showed you?"
*SORRY DARK*
He nods enthusiastically. "Very much so! I've been training a bit," he smiles.
*Haha, no problem. I get it.*
He smiles, “Well then, how about ya get in one o’ those skiffs there and I’ll lower ya down.” He gestures at one of the smaller rowboats tethered to the side of the Barnacle, “There’s a sea beastie out in the waters, how would ya like to test yer skills on a hunt?”
He sucks in some air through his teeth, seeming a tiny bit apprehensive, but then steels himself. "Sounds like quite the time, should be fun. Never fought on a rowboat like those, but I guess I can make do." He climbs over the edge, dropping down into a skiff and looks back up.
