The Crown Princess - Monday [Ship/Princess Cays, Bahamas]

[always-damp.livejournal.com]

Early in the morning, the cruise director came over the loudspeaker announcing the port of the day and some on-boat activities of interest. Those paying attention would learn that from 9am until 5pm, the Crown Princess would be docked in the lovely Princess Cays, Bahamas where guests were welcome to participate in glass-bottom boat, snorkeling, or beach excursions for a portion of the day. Adults were encouraged toward the Sanctuary on the Sun Deck for a more private way to relax away from the teens.

Interesting question. "I... don't know. Quite possibly, but I might look for other options." He looked out across the sea, his father's memories returning to him. Sixty billion people had lost their lives in the Jihad, because one man's prescient vision had shown him that the alternative would have been worse.

"But then, even if you know the future, the outcome can be unclear."

"And whether it was worth it." Dinah thought of the dreams she had sometimes. Knowing what had happened to Barbara and Helena before she ever met them in person should have discouraged her from looking for them, but it had had the opposite effect. Maybe you just had to be mad to try to change things.

She looked at Leto. Even on a small scale, knowing the ending didn't mean you didn't try to change it. She shook her head. "How was your week, while I was gone?"

He raised an eyebrow at the change of subject. "Quiet." Apart from half the school being cranky.

Dinah dimpled at him. And not, not, profoundly not about to get into the week some people had with him. "I heard about the fire alarm. I'm not sure if I'm sorry I missed the pajama fashion show and whining session or not."

"Ah, that. It took us a while to understand the purpose of the alarm." Enough time to get properly dressed. "Had there been an invasion of some kind it would have been suicidal to gather in front of the building like that."

"Suicidal for who? The invaders?" Dinah teased. "We've got some heavy hitters at our school." More seriously, she said, "The whole point is to know how to get out of the building and how long it takes. And that you can't slow down. Not to mention alternate routes out. I'm using the window."

"How should I have known that it was a fire alarm?" Leto told her with a shrug.

"You don't have them on Arrakis?" Dinah tilted her head, then said, "I guess they'd sound completely different even if you did, hunh."

"We have people responsible for that sort of thing." He smiled at Dinah. "But yes, it was the excitement of the week."

He had been concerned for Alice though, knowing she might not want to be reminded of fires.

"Hunh." Fires on Arrakis were probably put out with sand, too. Different all around. "Anyway. Now we're here, and we have a ton of things to do-- are you up for a tour on one of the islands this week? Not just you and me, but whoever's around."

"Oh, certainly." Some exploring would be interesting enough.
