Panel 1 [Lawrence standing against the bulwarks now that most of the crew has been divided, looking up when his name is called]
EZRA:
Lawrence Manner
Panel 2 [Shot over Lawrence’s shoulder as Ezra motions him over, the rest of his watch alongside Ezra]
EZRA: T’me.
Panel 3 [Lawrence steps over to Ezra and Josué. He looks a bit pissy as Josué smiles at him and nudges him with his elbow.]
JOSUÉ:
It was only a centipede--look, you're hard now. If it wasn't us it would’ve been someone else eventually. The newest ones are the fairest game.
Panel 4 [Ezra is grinning at Lawrence with Josué popping over his shoulder. Lawrence still looks uppity, arms folded, but is softening slightly.]
EZRA:
‘Specially landsmen. I gave Josué the same treatment when he was fresh off the cow farm, if it makes you feel any better.
JOSUÉ:
It's true, he did.
LAWRENCE:
I…suppose it does.
Panel 5 [Captain Waite calls over his shoulder as he walks forward of the ship. IN the foreground, Ezra lightly taps Lawrence’s shoulder with the back of his hand]
BARZILLAI:
Larboard watch on deck, starboard below.
EZRA:
Come Mr. Manner, the night starts off easy for you.

AAAA!!! Another update. Loved the speech!!! I’d be roused, for sure. Wear oil, taste oil, breathe oil. As usual, all the art is so delightful. I just find myself looking at the characters for the sake of looking at them, in particular, the captain and second mate. So striking! As always, awaiting further updates with baited breath.
I can’t help but draw pretty whalers…
