The crew lined the gunwale, watching as whoever was in Birdie tacked through the straits, the metal-bright hull bouncing from wave to wave, the dolphin swimming alongside.

“Who is it?” asked Hiko, clutching the railing at his side.

Toby murmured, “Someone from the Banshee, it has to be.”

Rapidly Birdie drew closer, pushed by a following wind.

The sailor on Birdie wore the uniform that Toby had seen on the Banshee, a black jacket and a hat pulled down low over their eyes.

As soon as Birdie reached hailing distance, the call came. “Hi, the Phoenix.” The sailor stood with one hand on the jib.

Toby could make out long dark hair escaping from the bottom of her hat. He swore he could see her green eyes sparkling like the sea. “Ayla,” he whispered.

“A hand?” Ayla drew Birdie to the port side of the Phoenix and allowed the boat to bump against the paddle.

The crew stared at her and then Marcus waved. “Send down the winches, at least we’ve got Birdie back.”
