L,
It's hard to say whether they were or not; living in the bowels of the ship for a few days (at least) had left them rather dirty, but their clothes seemed nice enough. I could hardly ask them. I barely spoke French to begin with and I haven't properly used it in years. The Ministry seemed to know about them, though, so I suppose someone had reported them missing, whoever they were.
Being Captain is certainly... well. I don't really know what to say about it. I was in charge of a group of men before, you know, when I was the only one left on the Sycorax expedition, and the stakes were so much higher then. But there were only thirty men by that point, so I suppose in one respect this is more of a challenge. It's definitely keeping me busy. No terrible misadventures as of yet.
