Panel 1 [Ezra, glances over at Lawrence, looking like he's disengaging from the conversation a bit.]
EZRA: Mm. This work makes you familiar with folk real quick, you’ll see. I’m sure we’ll end up gettin’ on fine, too. You seem like a decent fella, Mr. Manner.
Panel 2 [Slightly high angle of Lawrence glancing up with a slight smile, eyebrows raised.]
LAWRENCE:
You can call me Lawrence, if you’d like. Whaleships don’t seem like they stand on the same ceremony as the land.
Panel 4 [Shot over Lawrence's shoulder as Ezra shrugs, considers, wearing a conflicted but slightly amused expression]
EZRA:
No...no they ain’t much like the land at all. So you can keep callin’ me Ezra then. Fraternizin’, they say, can’t help it I guess.
Panel 5 [Low angle of the tub looking upwards at Ezra and Lawrence standing over it. Ezra gestures to the tub and Lawrence looks down at it passively.]
EZRA:
Now, plenty more line to lay before the watch is up. I’ll call Mr. De Silva over and you can help ‘im with the rest of this.
Panel 6 [Small closing panel, of completed tub full of tightly coiled line]

As usual, so so good. I love the chemistry between all the characters. The art and the pacing do such a good job of putting this like… background note of constant tension in the air that really works, I think.

Thank you so much!

Honestly this chapter makes me want to coil rope… It sounds tedious in a pleasant kind of way.

That’s the most beautiful coiled rope I’ve ever seen!! The amount of detail that goes into every panel of this comic is just incredible 🙂
