"Mraz, the sun is starting to come up. We should get cleaned off and get ready for the day." Marcus said to his wife who was breathing heavily next to him.
She had gotten quite exhausted from their nighttime activities and was currently recovering.
With shaky movements Mrazivý picked herself up and headed to the bathroom where she started a shower.
After a few minutes Marcus joined her and the two of them helped each other to get clean.
"Ah, I feel refreshed." Mrazivý said once she had gotten out of the shower.
Despite her earlier exhaustion and the fact that she had not gotten any sleep she still bounced back easily enough thanks to her high stats.
Now that the two of them were clean they put on their sturdy clothes that they wore when fighting as well as their armor.
"Okay I have adjusted the surface color so that they will just look like mithril."
Activating a magic item he had made, Marcus caused their amethros armor to suddenly take on a light blue sheen like mithril.

The last thing that they wanted was for others to see the amethros armor they both had since it would be the same as them wearing national treasures.
The metal was so rare that only those of the highest station were normally able to get any and Marcus had only gotten as much as he had mostly from the special dungeon.
Still today they were going fishing and since they might pull up dangerous creatures, they were required to wear armor, or they would not be allow to participate.
"I think we are ready. The ship will be providing all of the necessary gear we need for fishing." Marcus said.
With that the two of them left their room and headed to the back of the deck where the fishing would take place.
When they arrived the large aby door that had previously been closed was opened and allowed them a view out onto the rest of the deck and to the ocean
However, things were not exactly as they expected.
Very rarely did guests participate in this activity so the area was as luxurious as most of the ship, but when they arrived, they found that it had been outfitted quite ornately for some reason.
For a moment they wondered if this was for them but found quickly that there was another guest that had come for the first day of fishing.
'Oh! It is the guy that Mrazivý identified as over level fifty in the concert hall. I believe she said his name is Domovoi Clegane and he is level sixty-seven.'
Seeing that there was another group here for fishing both Marcus and Mrazivý were quite caught off guard.
They had figured it would just be them, a couple members of the crew, and the adventures that were currently posted in the area.
Yet before them was an entire entourage of eight people including Domovoi Glegane.
For a few moments the two groups just looked at each other before one of the crew members helping Domovoi's party approached Marcus and Mrazivý.
"Hey Dustin. It seems that someone else has shown up to fish as well." Marcus said to their first day guide.
"Yes, Lord Clegane showed up this morning after hearing from one of the adventurer guards that that we had the gear and facilities for fishing. I know that the two of you were looking forward to fishing today, but would you mind coming back another time. Lord Clegane is a high ranking noble and general and has requested access to the fishing platform."
Naturally both Marcus and Mrazivý understood why Dustin wanted them to leave. Their presence could cause friction with a high-ranking lord, and it was best to simply avoid such a situation.
Still, neither of them really wanted to leave after being as excited as they were. Especially Marcus who really wanted to fish.
For Mrazivý this was going to be her first-time fishing, but Marcus already enjoyed the activity and knew what he was going to be missing out on.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Very well. We will come tomorrow if that is fine. And please inform us if Lord Clegane will be here so that we do not make the same mistake." Mrazivý said with a disappointed expression.
The two of them then made to leave but were stopped by an unexpected source.
"Oh, are you two not going to be joining me for fishing this morning? I thought for sure that I might be having some interesting company." Domovoi said, approaching them.
Despite the distressed looks his entourage was giving him he walked right up to Marcus and Mrazivý with a friendly smile on his face.
It was quite the surprise to see him approach them, but they quickly caught themselves, and since they were acting as commoners began to bow.
"No need for that. It does not sit right with me to have those stronger than me bow." Domovoi said with the wave of his hand.
With but a single glance he had understood that Marcus and Mrazivý were stronger than him.
"My lord!" One of Domovoi's men said shock.
After telling Marcus and Mrazivý not to bow he held out his hand and was offering to shake their hands as equals.
Understanding that refusing would be rude, Marcus and Mrazivý shook his hand in turn.
'He is fairly strong. I would say his strength stat is close to Alaric's. But I suppose it is not fair to compare him to someone that has maxed out stats, even if they are focused on magic.' Marcus thought as the shook hands.
While they did, Domovoi squeezed down with all his might, but neither Marcus nor Mrazivý faltered.
Though had they just been average citizens they would have found their hands crushed.
"You two really are strong. You did not even flinch under my full power. Please come and join me. You are here for the rare chance at fishing this far into the ocean as well, yes? Do not let my presence deter you."
