Panel 1 [The camera is pulled back to show more of their parlor, well appointed but dark in the settling night. It’s lit by a fire and the candle. Barzillai gestures to the room, and Adelaide is sitting up to look at it.]
BARZILLAI:
All this came from the sea, m’love. Every single thing wrapped around us. Our clothes. This house. The light.
Panel 2 [Adelaide pulls away from him slightly, drawing her hands close to her. Barzillai watches her.]
ADELAIDE:
But you know—perhaps better anyone—that the sea isn’t always so generous.
Panel 3 [Closer shot of her speaking, her eyes downcast]
ADELAIDE:
Eventually it takes what it’s owed, if one keeps daring it.
Panel 4 [Barzillai looks over at her with a frown, fingers pressed to his brow. Adelaide is sitting straight beside him, still stewing in her own feelings about the situation.]
BARZILLAI:
The Valor will sail again by the end of the week. There’s nothing that can be done about that.
Panel 5 [Adelaide sighs, laying back against him.]
ADELAIDE:
No, I suppose there isn’t.

People Talking In Rooms! You return to your roots
Haha, at the heart of every project of mine, the genre is ultimately People Talking In Rooms.
Okay but is the grate on the fireplace made out of *harpoons*? I love it.
They household’s definitely got an Aesthetic.
