He smiled then, seeming at ease in this place. "Can read?"

Raven smiled,"Yes, I can." She sat down and began looking at the map, she recognized the shape of Westeros and but the words were not what she recognized. She looked at him confused,"This is not Westerosi? How can I...."
She moved her fingers along that lines of the map.

He shook his head "Names not important. What is important is accuracy, shape, and direction." He showed her the tools used to draw, then took out a blank piece of paper and put it next to the map of Westeros. He expertly tapered a quill and handed her it and motioned to the chart. Copy. Come to me when done." Nodding, he left the room and moved to join his fellow in their preparations.

She nodded again understanding what he wanted her to do. Raven sighed after he left and stared from the blank paper to the map and back again. She rested her chin in her hand looking at the chart.
"Okay here goes nothing.." Raven began to use the tools and draw the lines and shapes. Her first attempt looked as if a child had drawn it. She was determined to do this right, balling up the first piece of paper.
Raven tried again a few more times, she took her time, looking at the lines. She smiled as the lines crossed over each other making the shape of the Northern half of Westeros.

Uhtred was walking the ship again, familiarizing himself with feel of the wooden decks around him when he walked past the door where Raven worked. "Lass!" he exclaimed, leaning in the doorway "What're you doing in here?"

Oriax followed the sailor back to the awaiting flagship, purse weighed down by fresh gold. He boarded, clearly impressed by the transport he had booked.
"Captain, I trust there is a cabin waiting for me and we are ready to depart?" he asked. "There is one final errand I'll need one of your men to run before we set sail."

She looked up at the Captain,"He left me in here to learn to copy charts."
Raven chuckled,"I guess I was too small to row, so he stuck me in here." She shrugged.

Jory followed noiselessly behind The Sorcerer as they walked down the city streets. Paranoid as ever, he occasionally peered backwards to look for recurring faces, people who might be following or spying on them. Someone as important and foreign as Oriax was likely going to have at least a few eyes watching him.

While he sees plenty of curious eyes, he sees little sign of any other spies about.

Jory frowned, then followed Oriax onto the boat.

"Seems reasonable enough. I trust your quarters are acceptable to you?" /////////////////////////////////////// A smaller nervous man looks up at Oriax's arrival, taking in the long robes and stoic demeanor. Stepping up to him, the man takes a short respectful bow nonchalantly removes his cap. "Captain belowdecks, want to see him?"

"Clearly." he replied to the nervous man, annoyed.

"I thought that the men of The Iron Titans were all fearless. Obviously you are an exception." Jory chuckled. "Calm down, he's just an incredibly powerful wizard from across the sea who killed a goddess with his magic, and won't hesitate to sacrifice you if he thought it would help his cause."

"oh yes they are fine.", she smiled. "This is very interesting to me. I think once I can get the hang of it, I may want to stick around." Raven looked at him with a wide smile.
She handed Uhtred the chart she had drawn.

Uhtred took them and grimaced "So this is... the vale? Yes?" Before he was forced to say something would regret, Rodrio led Oriax up to Uhtred. "Ah! Lord, shall we be off then?"
