henriette had found herself on the run. it had started as a fight, and then an accident, and she had made choices and began to run. packing her bags with only her designs, some money and old jewelry that she would no longer need, that could be broken up and pawned to feed her, and a new bag for copernicus, who sat angrily in the pouch draped across her back. right now she was looking for passage out of where she was. she had gone to russia to speak with the tsar, but publicly calling for the death of the norwegian empire by her actions did not make it that safe. And she was planning to ride to china, but had been cut off. so now she was in a small port city and kind of desperate. that was when she happened upon a ship clearly packing up to leave. she walked up to one of the crew members and callled out to them. “are you about to leave? where are you going?”

Zadie was getting her ship and crew in line ready to board back onto the waters. She was pulling at the sails, barking orders at others, she loved this part right before the take off. Every rope she untied felt like untying the ropes that held her to this land. She heard a voice call out and she turned her head, her eyes slightly lightening up when she saw a familiar face. “Well hello to you too, stranger” She teased. She continued to untie the rope to a sail. “Yes, about to leave soon this place is a cesspool” Her eyes narrowed. “What are you doing here, didn’t last time we talked weren’t we all on the other side of the world?”
