Emerald awakes the next day, though he can't tell what time it is. There are no windows obviously, since they are below deck. He looks around at the other beds, and though they are unoccupied it's clear someone has been sleeping in them.
Emerald gets up and reaches for his disguise, then realizes that he probably doesn't need it at the moment since none of his family's guard could possibly get him here. It's a little liberating, now that he thinks on it. Perhaps he'll go without it today.
Emerald gives a big stretch and a yawn, and then heads up the stairs and to the kitchen. Luckily it seems breakfast isn't over and he manages to grab some hardtack and fruit.
Neither Joyride nor Ruby are here, so Emerald goes up on deck and looks around. Still no Joyride, but he does spot Ruby leaning over the side of the ship, making wretching noises.
"Ugh… I'm dyinggg…" Ruby says as he approaches, "No more alcohol ever. Maybe."
