"Oh." Terry couldn't stay downcast for too long, though; the day was lovely and sunny and it wasn't very often than he got to talk to one of the sailors properly, without them getting impatient with him. "D'you got any other good stories, though?"

Terry had nearly forgotten the bit of spun-yarn that was tucked half under his leg, but fished it out and untied the bowline on a bight that he'd tied earlier before carefully tying a running bowline in it, holding it up for Chase to see.

He had to scramble up then to spit tobacco juice over the side, but dropped back to the deck, sitting cross-legged again as he waited for the Tar's verdict - and the story.

Terry nodded; he remembered what it was like to be sea-sick all too well. "But you can't jus' walk off, not when you's in the Navy," he said, going back to picking at the tar under his nail while he listened.

Terry couldn't quite imagine anyone daring to box Cob Chase's ears - or swat his arse, either, though he made a valiant effort. Somehow, the Cob Chase of his imagination was the same as the man in front of him, though.

"What happened then?"

"'E shouldn't've chucked it atcha, stupid lobster," Terry said, trying to imagine one Terpsy's Marines getting into such a tweak that he'd throw a shoe at someone. Maybe off duty, but not while he was wearing them.
