TRUE COURAGE FOUND
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters or anything else, except this story, on Suikoden IV.
Author's note: The names I chose for the game are as follows; the hero's name is Link, the ship's name is the Dauntless, and the army's name is the Crusaders.
Snowe and Vingerhut stopped as soon as they reached the next floor. "On this floor we have our ship's doctor and his nurse." He started to explain, "On the left is the doctor's office, and across from it is the ward." He explained while pointing his finger, "Along the hall is some of the quarters of the crewmembers. At the end is the ship library and the confession room."
Vingerhut was a little astonished that this ship actually has something that he himself has been having issues with, "Show me this library." He ordered.
Snowe only nodded just as Carrie ran out of the ward in a panic towards Yu's office and said "Doctor I need your help."
"What's wrong?" Snowe asked just as Yu stepped out of the door.
Carrie had a worried look on her face, "I accidentally let it slip to Trishtan about what was really in those pills he's been taking and he fainted right on the spot." She said, before both ran into the ward.
Vingerhut just looked at his son, and he said only one word "hypochondriac." Before they continued.
When they got near the end of the hall, Rikie stepped out of her room and looked at the two, "Excuse me Snowe, but do you know where my son could be?" She asked.
"Yeah, Rakgi might be at the back deck doing a little fishing with Nalleo and Eugene." Snowe replied.
"Thank you." She said before leaving towards the stairs.
When they got into the library, Vingerhut was shocked to see how fully stacked it was, especially with all the maps in the corner. "My goodness, I never seen a library as full as this place." He complimented.
"Thank you," Tanya said from the first shelf, "Although I'm still trying to figure out what to do with the rest of the books."
Vingerhut was looking at this woman like she was a mental case while Snowe went to go read something. Grabbing a book from the shelf, he looked to notice Haruto was going over the maps of who knows what, while Karl was doing a little research. When he saw his father finally recover, Snowe watched as the man walked up and grabbed a book without even looking at the title. "How can you stand being with these people? They have no respect for any kind of authority." He said which to Snowe was becoming as old as his treatment towards those who aren't high class.
"Because the only authority on a ship is its captain," Keneth said just as he came from around the corner, "and so far Link has been doing a great job of it so far."
"Oh hey Keneth, how's it going?" Snowe asked his friend.
"Not much. Just that I was sent by Jewel to let you know that she wants to see you after you're done being a tour guide." Keneth replied.
"I understand, and thanks for the message." Snowe said, while the other boy just nodded and left.
Vingerhut just looked at his son, "Are you dating a common girl?" He asked disappointment clear in his voice.
"Well it's not like he has chance with Flare since she's royalty." They looked to see Warlock standing there, "And so far we've manage to do better when we don't have some kind of hierarchy to deal with."
Knowing what was coming next, "Shall we get going father?" Snowe asked, already knowing what the answer is going to be.
"Yes, let us be going." Vingerhut said, while placing his book back onto the shelf.
When they stepped out, Setsu walked up in a panic, "Excuse me, but have you seen his majesty? He seems to be avoiding me for some reason." He said.
"Last time I checked, he was at the Captain's quarters with Link and Lady Elenor." Snowe answered. Setsu went wide eyed at that answer and disappeared in a flash. Snowe decided to explain this, "The king is trying to keep a low profile on this voyage and Setsu is making it very difficult to do so." They continued on to the final floor.
