Frain's eyes darted to and fro as the conversations of a boat continued quickly. Frain had no interest in boats. Bram was right, he had no experience or training on boats. This journey was not only full of surprises, but it also brought out the best and worst in the company. Everyone would change in some way, or learn something.

In the end, it was Frain's turn to sigh. Yes, a boat. He knew it would come to taking a boat a ways down the great Anduin, yet he had no idea it would happen so quickly. He was glad somewhat. The Trip seemed almost over. Yet he felt almost sorrowful to leave such a fine company.

But that day was a ways away, of course. Frain was getting ahead of himself.

And then there was Bram! So he was to go along with them? The group was picking up new members quicker than a spider catches flies. Bram annoyed Frain endlessly. Now he was to be stuck on a boat with the innkeeper?

Well, that is what I get for agreeing to come on this trip. And not a sight or thought of riches or reknown yet! Thought Frain to himself.

A boat. That still troubled him. The boat seemed, unstable, in a way. As though it would not hold them in the monstrous Anduin. Oh yes! The Anduin! Such noise it made. Frain had no need of a cabin for sleep! The river roared so loudly it could wake anybody, deep sleeper or no. The cabins were small and smelly anyway. Nothing like the cool, calm, strong walls of his bedchambers back home.

Ah well. Dwarves can survive anything, and I will not be the one to whine and prove that wrong. Frain told himself.

Frain prepared his smaller packs of goods and such clothing he needed. Soon, he would board the ship, and even more so the great Anduin.
