Mari is sleeping well now, *sigh* that's good. Gaspard, Kobe, I watched watched over her. That was until Kobe was called by Bonnie and Milo to help lift some of the Monquistan's stuff in their ship, so now it's just Gaspard and I.

"Gaspard, how did you know what lie to say to Mari?"

"I know her that's all", he said slowly waved hand.

"Hm, how long have you guys been together?"

"For a long time, a long time", he said, "I still don't regret it"

"I kinda had a feeling she gets on your nervous"

"No I get on her more often, I have my reasons", he said taking off his hat, "Well enough about me, how are you doing?"

"Oh I'm fine, nothing wrong", I said with a smile, "…Gaspard, can you tell me about the Armada?", I asked politely.

"….There's clockwork soldiers, nothing but gears and armor", he said sounding serious, "They're against Piracy and cause nothing but misery for everyone and everything"

"…Gaspard I'm…so sorry-"

"Mmm waaait", Mari said in her sleep, "No wait, I can still save them. Nooo, pleease", she said turning over holding the basket tightly.

"Oh no is Mari having a nightmare?", I questioned standing up.

"Tara, Mari is going to need some water", he said walking over to Mari, "Can you go get some?", he asked handing me Mari canteen.

"A-alright"

I went out as quick as I could to the life fountain to get Mari some water. Poor Mari, I hope that nightmare she's having doesn't make her worse.

"Hey Tara!", Bonnie shouted waving her arm, "The Monquistans are about to go, wanna say goodbye?"

It would be rude to not thank them properly before leaving, I'll make this quick.

"Thank you for everything you all done for us, we wish you luck for whatever you seek", Foreman thanked us.

"Yes, and I also wish you luck in the terrible dark jungles", Romas said.

"OH! If by chance, do any of you have an umbrella I can have?", I asked politely.

"I do", said a Monquistan wearing fancy clothes, "It's more of a parasol, but I have no need for it now that I'm going home"

"Thank you so much", I said taking the umbrella he gave me.

It was a pretty unique umbrella with lovely design that looked similar to the ones on Kobe's outfit. Good thing he brought this parasol, otherwise this thing wouldn't cover me properly. We all said our goodbyes and let them be on there way, I hope they make it back home safety.

"Oh Tara, did you fill up your canteen?", Milo asked.

"What?…OH NO MARI!", I shouted running back to the ship.

I can't believe I forgot so soon, when I got back Gaspard was on the outside deck.

"Gaspard I'm soo sorry, I was telling the Monquistans goodbye and-"

"It's okay Tara, no need to worry", Gaspard said calming me down, "Mari is doing fine now, she peacefully "

"CRABCAAAKES!", Mari shout from the other room.

"….Yyyup, sleeping peacefully"

"You sure about that?", I asked raising my eyebrows and handing his the canteen.

"Yea yea, for now you need to focus on finding that cave"

"Oh no, and we have to help Banyon!", I said shocked.

"Is everything alright?", Bonnie asked walking onto the ship and our friends.

I explained that we needed to do one more thing before going to the cave.

"Tara I know it's not of my business, but why are you doing all of this helping?", Bonnie asked putting her musket down, "All this help has wasted lots of our time here"

"…I…guess you can say it's a habit", I said looking away and rubbing my arm, "I'm sorry"

"It's fine, I was just curious"

"But you sounded pretty serious Bonnie", Milo said.

"That's how I sound when I'm curious", she waving her hands.

"I hate to interrupt, but you guys should get going", Gaspard suggested, "I'll look after Mari.

"Are you sure about that, Gaspard?", Kobe asked sounding little concerned.

"Don't worry, I got this"

They both spared each for like a minute and half until Kobe nod, he agree to join Bonnie, Milo, I on our search.
