On the High Seas | Hyram

Willow, or just Will as she had named herself while on the ship, hung out in the crow’s nest for most of the morning. Her preferred post on the ship, less crew to have to talk to most days, less of the crew to bother her about her differences. It took some work to disguise herself to be allowed on the ship but managed to generally pass as a younger boy with her shorter stature and higher tone, even when trying to lower her voice.
Most stopped teasing her for her “feminine qualities” when she proved to be very strong and capable of handling herself in a fight and as a sailor.
There was one crewman that made her nervous though, she got the feeling he didn’t really believe the ruse and did her best to avoid prolonged interaction to avoid any potential questions or confrontation. When she heard another climbing up she only glanced out of the corner of her eyes to see that it was said crewman.
“Don’tcha think it’s a little early for a switch?” She asked.
