Cleanse Your Hands, You Sinners

The exhilaration of fighting a bear had the boy practically bouncing the whole way home. The others might have been a sullen and surly bunch, especially Sakana, but Kenway couldn't believe they had a bear?!?! He was already hatching a plan to sneak off back down there to see if he could find it again when Sakana pulled on his tail and gave him a look, (was that guy a mindreader?) That kept him on course with the rest of them travelling home.

All that bouncing came back to haunt him when it came time to cross the water. Thankfully, dad was on hand to help him get across, otherwise, well, he might have been sleeping on a different beach when the call came. He saw mum walk past Flurry and sat kinda next to but kinda behind her, before sliding down to wrap his paws around her tail, mouthing at the hairy part and being mindful not to chew the bony bit. It was a self-soothing strategy to cope with the heaviness in the air, and besides, his sister looked like she could use a laugh.
