The question was simple enough, and Radan pondered that for a moment before he
gave a reply.  "I am really not sure what I want to do.  I have this gift of
healing, and while it is very useful, I think I just have to discover all of
the aspects that come with this ability.  Once I receive payment, I plan to
find a place where I can start a business, a potery store.  I am a ceramicist,
and a "medicine" man, so I think I will get into community work, making pots
for families in need.  But, then again, one never knows what will happen.  I
mean, once we are back in Generica, we may run into something that changes our
lives forever.  We could find a way to get you back to your homeland/plane.  If
you would like, once I find a home of my own, I will extend this home to you as
a good friend.  
        "I think that once I am settled, we could have a base of operations,
and then try to find what ever it is you need to get back home.  I have heard
tale of a gifted Seer or fortune teller that could possibly help.  But, then
again, I am as new to Generica as you are.  We should see what happens once we
dock."  Radan finally finished his description of his future activities.

        Shade was almost, but not quite, sorry he asked.  He just smiled and
let out a sigh.  
        They both looked out at the seascape, marveling for a moment at the
waves slapping at the sides of the great vessel _Arcus_ which was gaining speed
by the moment, and making way towards open sea.  Pashar seemed but a frightful
memory in the back of some people's minds.  Radan and Shade stood out on deck
for a while, wrapped in silence and seemingly waiting for something to happen.
        "I wonder where Karl and the others are?" Radan asked outloud.
He turned around and looked in to the deck, there were sailors around mopping
up the deck,"ah they're swabbing the deck.  I have never really seen sailors
swabbing decks before-I know I have been a little weird lately, but give me
some time."  Radan moved to a different topic in a short sentence.  

        "There are some other passangers around, did you want to start up a
conversation with them?"  Shade replied.  "Radan, lets go get something to eat
from the mess hall.  I had some bread earlier, but I would like to have a
little more, and to talk some more..."

        "Sure, I am getting fairly hungry, now that I think about it."
Radan motioned for Shade to lead the way, and doing so, followed him down into
the ship moving towards the mess hall area.  There were patrons of every kind
in the eating hall, and Shade and Radan quickly made it throught the meal line
to get food and sat down at a largish table with other patrons sitting at it. 
A few friendly comments were exchanged, but the conversation was light hearted. 
Fairly soon the others of the group started to file in and took seats with
Shade and Radan.  Killian and Jenever came in and sat next to the two.  Karl
hobbled in and quickly started to eathis meal.  Tillie and Ornigan looked quite
a bit better than they did when the group first met them, and they seemed like
they had bathed resently.  THey took seats near the group, and started talking
about recent news of Generica.
