Given both the excitement and assurance writ across Kaihe's face, Vailea could easily assess that should she ever find herself in water around them, she'd be in good hands. If anything, that actually made the lich want to skip around in the shallow waves that teased lazily up the sand.
It'd be a thought for later.
The excitement when Kaihe comprehended that Vailea would be present, for at least awhile – getting time across would be a whole different game – that too delighted the Captain. Languages and people were a pleasure to her. A feast in its own way. She'd seen tribes vanish, peoples no one would ever know, and she treasured the time she had with them. Voracious in consuming the knowledge they had, their languages, and the experience with them. What was eternal life if she could not enjoy the things most people did not know, such as rare language?
Vailea collected them as one might fine wine or rare paintings. These were things priceless to her. So she followed Kaihe and savored the excitement, taking in the various words, repeating what was said and echoing the trader's word for each thing as they steadily made their way towards the small port where her boat was being worked on. It was a slower walk back, mind, because they were talking and exploring as much as they were walking, but they arrived just as the sun was setting.
Her crew were mostly off enjoying the things the port had to offer. Drink, company, and the chance to be on land for a little while. The undead generally tending to the ship were quietly dismissed by the Lich. Vailea didn't want to scare the poor thing. So, as they approach, she gestured to the large ship presently docked and rolled slightly so that repairs could be made to the blasted hole. To which Vailea affectionately said, " kuʻu hale."
The Red Jewel was a large ship, capable of holding enough cargo to be out at sea for extended periods of time. Three masts, though the canvas was furled now, and the wood had been darkened with age, tar, and oil. She was dark, old ship that had seen a long life and would live to see many more years – Vailea would ensure that.
