Fex needed a vacation. It was a claim she made fairly often and for innumerable reasons and almost always as a joke, but only recently had she taken the steps necessary to actually make vacation happen, and what had she gotten for it? Well, a promised date with Bethany—or was it Ash? Her friend had called her one thing but she'd introduced herself as another—but before that she'd also gotten shot at, stabbed, burned, and mauled by hunting dogs, and while none of those things could do Fex permanent harm, she certainly hadn't been thrilled to experience them.
So, this trip, a vacation from her vacation, answering the call of a pirate who wanted revenge on a creature that had impeded her piracy. Which was kind of an interesting moral conundrum. Not one she especially wanted to explore right now, though.
