;Plot Summary
The Crimson being the first sea Tress has seen that wasn't the Verdant, Tress is startled and a little superstitious to see it. Fort notes that she is grinning. She says it is terrifying, and he notes that she smiles when things are terrifying. She tries to rationalize it, but she suspects he is considering this with the King's Mask theory. She starts to consider her daring a talent being unlocked.
One of the random rain squalls skirts nearby, sending up 30 food red spikes out of the spores. The ship tacks away to await calmer weather. Fort goes back to the kitchen.
 
Laggart grabs Tress to learn cannon firing. She struggles to remain impassive as he handles the cannonballs, but Laggard does not appear to notice her nerves. He walks her through the mechanics of loading, and then tells her to practice by taking five shots a day at a target buoy. She asks if that's all the training there is, and he says to come bother him know when she can hit the buoy in 2 shots. She thinks of the flare gun and asks him if she can practic on that, and he dismisses the idea, stalking off.
 
She's annoyed as she had planned to study, but then she thinks of engaging Ann in her training. Ann pops up with the first cannon shot.
