first light reflects off the ocean

Jack mentioned that she had been gone a year and somehow Sparrow couldn't put her brain around it. She hummed for a while as the she thought. "Well, there's uhh three litters, I think at least. We kidnapped someone but- hey don't make that face- we gave them back- no don't make that face either." That was for the additions... "Uhh, some of the galaxy brothers are missing, probably just fucked off. Eden and one of the pups went missing. Pyralis kicked the bucket." Sparrow rattled off the list of happenings with a practiced detachment. It was her story, sure, but in this moment she was just the storyteller. "We won a raid against the Armada, which is really what matters."

That probably summed it up.

"Did you at least do anything cool while you were gone?"
