"Ah. Of course," Thames replied with a bland smile.
"You are most certainly correct that I do not have a right to your business, Mr. Maxwell. I must say that this journey is going to be quite the endeavor, so I do hope Mr. Harrison chose right with some of its members." After a moment, he added, "l do not mean to affront, of course."

"But of course." Nicholas was very tempted to say good day and retreat to his cabin, yet he forced himself to stay put. "Do you know how much longer 'till we go a-shore?"

Thames gazed at the distant sight of land and fell silent for a few seconds.
"Perhaps half an hour, to reach the port,Β  I'd presume. We'll probably take another two to get everything unloaded and onto land. Of course, these are fickle things and I can't say for certain."


((I do not know Victorian dialect, lol.))

Fickle things? "Indeed.." His eyes narrowed slightly in thought, "I'm sorry, but I don't seem to remember your part in this expidition."

Thames sniffed.
"My part in this expedition? Why I'm along for the journey, of course. I've been on another of Harrison's expeditions, oneΒ  into Burma, and I've known him for a while, so I'd say I have a part in this."

"So you're not a navigator or a sea captain or a map-maker," He was blunt.

"No, I am not," Thames replied with a dismissive wave.
"There is a reason Harrison hires so many people. Half our expedition doesn't need to learn such skills when there are others who do know being paid to join us."

"Then what is the point of bringing so many people? Are they not extra mouths to feed?"
