Black Shadow heard light footsteps approaching him and turned to see who it was. It was a surprise to him as he saw Gavner approaching. The sun was at its peak, the time when it would be most deadly to Vampires. Black Shadow shot Gavner a concerned look. After over a year of friendship Gavner needs but a look from Black Shadow to know what he is thinking.

"Don't worry my friend." He said as he pulled down on his cloak, revealing a skin tight black material. A look of curiosity replaced Black Shadow's look of concern. "This a suit made of 'statur solis'. It is a skin tight suit that protects me from the sun."

Black Shadow motioned Gavner to approach the edge of the railing. Gavner approached the railing and began to explain what had happened earlier. He explained the situation with Vir and how he obtained the suit, and he showed Black Shadow a vial of an anti-seasickness potion. Black Shadow nodded and was happy that Gavner found a way to stay in the sun.

Black Shadow turned his gaze to the sea once more, where something caught his eye. He focused his sight, watching the object. From the distance, Black Shadow could make out a ship of some sort. He looked to Gavner, and motioned with his hands as if he was using a telescope. Gavner rushed to find him one, returning to Black Shadow within minutes. Black Shadow stretched the telescope and aimed it in the same direction as the ship he noticed, and had not taken his eyes off of. He searched the ship for anything to determine friend or foe. Then his eyes fell upon it... The flag of The Black Sails Armada. Black Shadow quickly shut the telescope and turned to Gavner, a worried look on his face. Gavner took the telescope from Black Shadow and looked through the telescope. The two locked eyes for a few seconds, then they both rushed to the captain's quarters.
