Shipshape and Seaworthy
Attila had taken to living in Chura for quieter, more private living arrangements, but that meant leaving the ranches and rice terraces of Gilterrace behind. Fortunately, Attila had many kinds of jobs open to him and decided to try working for a cargo ship for a change, so he could more easily travel between islands, as he'd had plenty of experience with that sort of thing...
(Not all of them wholesome, but hey, regardless of transporting captives or goods, a lot of the same principles applied for ships and planes, so his skills transferred over very well... except that that unlike with planes, ships travelled a bit more slowly, and he had to be present with the cargo for loading, shipping, and unloading, so he'd spend about a week at sea, going from island to island, before he'd return home.)
He won't be selling anything himself, that's what the merchants did, Attila just loaded things in and out, made sure everything was as safely and neatly stored, and that the ship remained up-right and well-balanced.
Turnbloom City + Stardust Beach, Ohritori
While he had some free time while the ship was docked and restocking, after unloading cargo to be sold in Turnbloom Market, Attila decided to look around and see if he could spot any familiar faces... and eat some udon. Hey, he missed the food while he was away!
He also decided to call up Manzana, both to update him on how things were going (great!), but also to casually ask where he was (not wanting to bring up where he was first, so he won't make him feel like he should go out of the way to visit him or anything...!).
Attila could even be found purchasing trinkets, like a little jar of the star-shaped sand to take home.
Sun and Palssio
At some point, before leaving port, Attila had a bit of an accident, slipping on a newly waxed surface and nearly falling overboard, right over the railing (he's tall and top-heavy enough he could still fall over!)—but he's pushed backwards, back to safety, but his eyes never seem to get used to the light...
"N-nife..." Atilla managed weakly, squinting at the bright sunlight, before realizing the reason things weren't just too bright just from a shock that hadn't worn off, but from the light shining off gushing Water type moves from some friendly, playful Passio that shoved him back on board with strong streams of water. His head and shoulders were drenched, but more importantly—he'd lost his sunglasses!
He swore as he tried to reach back for them between the bars, but the Palssion were too busy playing with them, passing them back and forth like a ball.
"H-hey, my sunglasses!"
Port Opportune, Chura Island
He was finally home! Attila would head back to Gukuru House soon enough, where he lived with Bashou, at least for now, but he could be caught walking around port before that!
