Prompt: What Comes Next?

 Gaia was finishing her first deckhand duty on the Leopard’s Paw. It helped when your magic could cut down the time it took to swab a deck.

She realized she was being scrutinized by a norn with fiery hair and a grin that was- a little unsettling, though she couldn't pin down exactly why. Lurking slyness, perhaps? 


“You're an ele, eh?” 


Gaia blinked and answered dutifully. “Yes, ma’am.”


The norn strode up, clapped a heavy hand on Gaia's shoulder, and steered her toward the mast. “Excellent. I need a new Windcaller apprentice!”


“W-what-”


Her question was interrupted by the norn shouting to the first mate. “Hey, Zanna! Your new deckhand is mine now!”


Zanna raised a brow at the norn though opined no objection, unless one counted the squawk from one of the pair of seagulls perched on her shoulders. 


What have I gotten myself into?

Gaia looked between the two. 

I'm not sure this is going to be what I signed up for…
