Glad you liked it, Maika - I tried to send you a PM yesterday to check you were alright with it, but it was about the time when the barrowdowns then went down. Thanks anyway
The description you gave seemed to lean towards the doctor from Master and Commander, so I may have expanded on that a wee bit...
If you so wish it, my dear, I shall not lay even a further
finger on Mister Yulman - he shall remain strictly in Sedal's care and you may do whatever you wish with him, as soon as Callath gets onto the deck I fear he may be a wee bit held up with Devon and the corsairs (that sound like an Enid Blyton book to anyone else?!) etc. As for conversation, I was merely trying to have something to work with, but I will cut down dialogue if you really want, and edit the bits you asked
