"Not specifically? I feel itchy when I think about it nesting in there," pointing to his temple, "but I'm pretty sure thats my panic response to a slimy worm entering my brain." His brows raised in curiosity, "Are you feeling... or perhaps are not feeling something in particular?" |

"I can barely remember my own name... I don't know how I got on that ship. I don't remember anything. I guess I was hoping that maybe it was because of the tadpole. But it seems that is not the case." She says, wrapping her arms around her chest. She wasn't sure why she was divulging that information. She barely knew him... but he had been nothing but kind so far. And it wasn't as though the information could be used against her in any case. Even if it could, she had her doubts that he would be the type to take advantage of that. He had even wanted to save an intellect devourer of all things. Not many would do that, especially when they were on a time crunch like they had been in the ship. |

"I am sorry my answer proved disquieting, but I would be willing to assist you on your journey to finding your answers. If you would be alright with that?" he let his hand move away, no not crowd her when she already may be feeling vulnerable. "We both want these things out of our heads and to be honest," he rubbed the back of his neck to break the tension, "I would love to not have to do this alone..." He was presenting her with an opportunity to gain some control back, to feel less helpless. It was true besides, he hated feeling alone, and if she was on a journey to discover her missing memories or past, he was willing to help however he could. They could take care of each other. |

"You know... I'd like that too actually. Thank you. I'd definitely appreciate the company." She says. She wasn't sure if she had any family. Surely she had to... everyone did. Didn't they? But regardless, she wasn't alone. She had a friend. Someone cared enough to not run off and leave her on her lonesome. Now she could only hope that she could keep herself in check, lest she scare off the one friend she knew she had. A intellect devourer scuttles out from a piece of burning wreckage not too far from them. Thankfully it either hadn't noticed them, or it like Us knew they were infected. "I suppose we'd better get moving before we run into more of them. No telling how many survived" she says. She wasn't sure where Us was. |

"Couldn't agree more, Caesy." he smiled, a little more confident, "the beach stretches this way, we may find a way either around or through the wreck." He began walking beside her, using his quarterstaff as a walking stick for the sake of the sand and having it ready in case anything decided to be violently unfriendly. |

The sand wasn't the easiest terrain to traverse she mused as one of her feet sinks into the sand as she takes another step forward. But they would be out of here eventually. For now they had to press on. And so press on she did, pulling her foot free from the sand. It wasn't quicksand at least. That would be an actual problem in addition to everything they already faced. |

Many corpses lay littered about, fish and barrels and boxes too. A strange door even against the cliff that overlooked the beach. More intelect devourers skittered about noisily in the main hull of the wreckage. (Shadowheart appears on the beach if you save her, but because we didn't encounter her, typically she can appear at the door or in the tiefling camp. Should she be on the beach, at the door, or in the camp?) |

"I don't know how you do it... how you keep that faith that somehow everything is going to be okay. But it's admirable. Maybe you're right. We've survived this long. Who's to say we can't face whatever is yet to come." Caesy says, running her free hand through her hair in the hopes of untangling it slightly. Was she trying to convince herself that things would work themselves out? Perhaps. It was hard to have that same faith in a world that seemed determined to knock the wind right out of her. But she was grateful to not be alone in facing whatever was to come. Maybe eventually his faith would rub off on her too "We could probably check out that door... see if might lead somewhere away from the wreckage. We'd avoid the intellect devourers for now that way. Though there's no telling what we might find behind that door. It looks like it's locked. Either someone didn't want anyone going inside. Or there's something in there they didn't want getting out." She says. Which option was more reassuring, she wasn't sure. |

He thought for a moment how to answer that, "...I have to have hope, always." his smile didn't waver but his eyes softened at the feeling, "Without hope, we have nothing, are nothing..." Ulke nodded again but relaxed a bit "though we can discuss ideology at a later time, maybe when we're safe and can make camp..." Upon seeing the door he hums and glances at his companion, "I could try picking it if you like, but that lock looks ancient and difficult." his brows raised in dubious belief of his skills, clearly knowing his particular talents lie elsewhere. |

"It's worth a try... picking it would probably work better than trying to smack it really hard in the hopes that it breaks open, which is probably all I could do in this situation. But if we can't get it open, no harm done. We'll just have to be prepared to fight our way through the wreckage should it come to that." She says |
