Ray stepped out of the portal into the Captains' quarters, blinking rapidly at the sudden change of light. She swayed dangerously with the ship, and leaned heavily against a chair for support. They were out at sea, she realized. Flashing Ari a grin, she stepped out onto the deck, taking a deep breath of the ocean air.

Without wasting another moment, she strode past members of the crew toward the fore, ignoring the surprised cries they gave at the women's appearance. She stared out over the waters with a bright smile, realizing just how much she missed being on the water - especially without some crazy mission in mind and a nigh-murderous passenger.

Taking another deep breath, Ray turned around and spread her arms wide, slipping back into her accent easily as she shouted to anyone who could hear, "It's good to be back!"
