Changes

After Kyle kicks her off Vivacia, Althea vows to get her ship back. She flees home and with help from [[Amber]] disguises herself as a ship's boy named "Athel Vestrit," and works her way through a voyage on a seal-hunting ship, the [[Reaper]]. On that voyage she meets again with Brashen, who does his best to protect her and to help her be a good sailor without being obvious; there is tension between them as well as friendship. She proves very efficient at skinning the animals and packing the meat, and wins the respect of the captain.
