“Ah, I have one in my cabin, hold on, I’ll go get it!” Astrid runs back to her cabin and grabs the book Harald had given her. She runs back to Dísa and gives it to her. “This is the ship’s manual. It should cover pretty much anything you need to know about the ship”
Dísa smiles at her brightly.
"
Great, this is perfect! I´ll go to work then! See you tomorrow, should I be busy until tonight!"
Dísa stops by at her cabin once more to drop off the things she collected until now and doesn´t need anymore. She wraps Sara´s Stone into one of her shirts (that´s the closest she can get to "something to protect it" on short notice), and leaves the extra batteries behind as well. She decides to keep the flashlight with her since it´s already starting to get dark.
Svenny is still on her bed, and has eaten the meat. Though seeing that this might become a problem once she wants to sleep there, she can´t bring herself to make him leave. It´s fine, it´s not a problem right now. She still has a lot to do...
Studying the manual she realizes she has in fact forgotten a few important doors. She starts wandering around the ship painting protection-runes, then moving on to silencing-runes in all loud places she can find. To her surprise, the engine-room is not one of those places. That one is completely silent. After a bit of confusion she realizes that the ship uses solar- and wind-energy to run, which doesn´t make as much noise.
When she is finished painting silencing against trolls on the bridge-door, the main-room and the forge she decides to give modifying the rune a shot after all (on a piece of paper taped to the door for now). Though Harald seems to be done working in the forge for the day, so she won´t see whether it works until morning.
By the point she is done it is completely dark, and she just hopes nobody calls the authorities on the strange person walking over the deck with a flashlight, a can of paint and a book. But luckily, no one seems to see her. She returns to her cabin.
Svenny seems to have fallen asleep. To procrastinate on having to make him move a bit, Dísa finally checks on her guitar. It seems to have taken the heat of the forge surprisingly well. All of the strings are somewhat still on the right hight.
It´s not an expensive instrument, with originally no fancy details, but Dísa has added a few small drawn pictures around the sound-hole: some waves, fish, a puffin on a rock. She even colored them with mediocre success. She has owned the guitar since she was 15, so the paint-job is neither great nor still fully intact, but she decided to actually like the aesthetic and left it the way it was. But now, after a bit of thinking, she paints a silencing-rune on the sound-chamber. Better safe than sorry. (Not the modified one though, since Dísa isn´t sure what it does yet. Plus a guitar would be kind of pointless if no one could hear its music) When the paint has dried enough to not immediately be destroyed when accidentally touching it she starts tuning the guitar as quietly as possible, halfway hoping to not disturb anyone else who might be asleep already, halfway hoping to make the cat wake up.
But he doesn´t, so Dísa gives up after a while, puts the guitar away and carefully pushes Svenny to the side, just enough so she fits on the bed too. Svenny is adorable, but she will not sleep on the floor for him. She falls asleep almost immediately.
