Elias could have gone without the lecture. He'd agreed on the training, not only that he needed the practice but also that he was not interested in dying at sea. He agreed to stay there so they could train around the clock. What else did Captain Manix want to hear?
He stifled the bubbles of irritation, told himself that Manix was only treating him like a kid because of the way he dressed. The guy wasn't exactly wearing a polo shirt and khakis. You'd think he'd get it. Great tattoos though. Elias had never thought about getting any until now.
At least Asha agreed to stay. She made life a little more tolerable. Truth was, he needed Manix and Synjyn. He needed their expertise and their ships. He hated that necessity, but he was moored in place otherwise. He needed them like he needed Damien.
"2000 hours. I'll be there."
He replied with a dark smile. He stood, "thank you."
The additional gratitude was not insincere.
He left to see if Asha needed help with her things. Otherwise, he planned on returning on time.
