April 21st, 1891 — Voyager, Portsmouth
"I'm not complaining," Alfred assured Pablo as he ducked below a beam that was currently leaning against the upper deck, forming a triangle-shaped hole right in the center of one of their main walkways. He glanced back only briefly to ensure that Pablo was following him, then continued towards the seaward side of the Voyager's main deck. The ongoing repairs had made the ship a bit of a hazard to navigate through, but Alfred was used to it already. Besides, on a few occasions in his career he'd done refits at sea, and this was nothing compared to having all the same obstacles laid out but adding the swelling of the waves and the strong winds to the mix.
Reaching the starboard side of the vessel — which still had a bit of rope and a magical barrier in place of her sturdy wood railing, having lost the latter to the sea monster — Alfred turned towards an ice box which had been tucked away in a corner of the deck. Lunch, courtesy of the Ministry, for all of the men working on the repairs. Alfred doubted anyone was going to do an inventory and notice if one sandwich went to another purpose, so he handed one over to Pablo before taking one himself. "I'm just confused. I don't even know how you heard about it."
