The captain’s quarters were very quiet, with the faint sound of waves outside the window breaking gently and softly, which only served to accentuate the serene stillness of the room—a good while passed before the goat head finally let out a sigh, “Ah, that sounds nice.”

“I thought you would ask more questions,” Duncan raised his eyebrows as he spoke, “Aren’t you curious about where I actually took Silantis, or curious about my many secrets?”

“Curious,” the goat head stated bluntly, “but reason and intuition tell me that it’s best not to inquire too deeply into things known as ‘secrets,’ especially not about what happened when you leave this ship. You are the captain of the Homeloss, and knowing that is enough for me. It’s better to know less about anything beyond that.”

“…Intuition?” Duncan said thoughtfully, as he looked at the black wooden goat head in front of him and suddenly asked, “Has your intuition told you what would happen if I were no longer the captain of the Homeloss, or if you knew too many of my ‘secrets’?”

The goat head fell silent for a moment, nearly a minute passed before it broke the silence, “All I know is that whenever I entertain thoughts of ‘crossing the line,’ I see an endless expanse of stars—and under the light of myriad stars, the Homeloss no longer exists.”

Duncan slowly furrowed his brows, and after a brief contemplation, he shook his head, putting aside his complex thoughts for the moment, “Silantis… is now in a special state, staying in a safe place; you need not worry about it.”

“That’s good,” the goat head said softly, without asking anything further.

“Now there is another question—how should I address you?” Duncan suddenly asked after a few seconds of silence, “Saslouka? Goat head? Or first mate?”

“…Let’s stick to the old names,” the goat head hesitated, its tone sounding slightly awkward, “First mate or goat head is fine, Saslouka… that name feels quite unfamiliar now, recalling it now, it doesn’t seem like my own.”

Duncan was somewhat surprised, “You were quick to agree when I first called you that.”
