When everything goes wrong for our protagonist, he takes to the seas, hoping to find a new life far from home. But no one can ever really flee from one’s past. -- Deathshead419
"Oh lack-a-day lilly, got bit by the filly! The whole world is hating on me. And so I'm running off to sea!" -- Alfarell children's song.
Fairweather knew she had a stowaway. It wasn't as if there were a lot of hiding places on her old tub. Kid thought they were completely hidden in a coil of rope with their hands over their eyes. A tiny little halfbred Elf curled up tight and miserable. Just the right age to be running away from home for the day.
A little adventure, a little scare, and soon they'd miss their people and want to go home. Ocean-going vessels were sharper about finding that flavour of stowaway and kicking them back to the docks. Kid must have thought themself sharp to hide there.
