Summary of Events:
Chapter 9:
Saoirse got into an argument with Sgémoíse's mother over the uproar his treatment of her following her getting run over by the sheep cause. Adaire helped navigate the ship through the shipping lanes to the harbour in Außtöst, but not without incident.
Chapter 10:
Saoirse went to deliver some mended clothes to the blacksmith and ended up getting startled and injured again, but was quickly tended to. Adaire intended to head straight for the harbour so that he wouldn't be late for sailing again, but was detained by the king, although he still made it on time.

Excerpt of the Day:
"Adaire wasn't sure how close the ships would be, although he knew that single ships always had to yield to fleets, and that the larger fleets always had the right of way. Being as all of these looked to be single ships, so they would have the right of way.
But would all of the ships yield? Were those ships even watching? Adaire couldn't really judge. They would just have to sail and see what happened and hope that there were no collisions or damages, as they could well sink this far out and then the voyage would be over.
Several of the ships closer to the coast were passing in front already now; the winds were favourable and drawing the fleet closer to the shores of Außtöst, and with his spyglass Adaire could see the large, bustling harbour city — although not too clearly through the forest of masts that filled the harbour in front of it.
Diligently Adaire scanned the waters, keeping an eye on all of the ships to see where they were going and when their courses might cross with that of the fleet. Adaire watched the ships as they sailed and hoped that they would all be courteous and yield.
Adaire was starting to be able to see the city without his spyglass rather well, but he kept the spyglass to his eye and scanned the waters. There didn't seem to be any danger; and the lookup out in the nest hadn't called anything out yet either, so it looked like they were going to make it to Außtöst without incident.
At the sound of shouts, however, Adaire startled and whirled around to face the back of the ship. Adaire didn't know what to say, and so watched in speechless horror as a southbound ship sailed behind the Meignÿvÿca much too close.
Sailors rushed up around behind the captain to yell obscenities at the foolish ship, Adaire rushed forward with them, but instead of going up to scold, Adaire went into the captain's quarters and watched with horror as the great, grand windows were torn open by the passing ship's hind end.
Glass flew everywhere and Adaire ducked, even though he didn't feel any glass hitting him. Once the sound of shattering stopped Adaire looked at the carnage. They might be laid up in Außtöst for a bit longer than a week getting new windows.
A few moments later Adaire heard the door open behind him and several gasps and hissings or outbursts of profanities. Adaire looked around and saw the captain, his face red with rage, beholding the scene.
Adaire slid out and let the others view the carnage and slipped out to see what flags the ship that'd hit them was flying. Adaire's eyes went did with appall when he saw: Beldonersteine and the Heijmegourde Shipping Company."
