Edric quietly jogged up to the back of the check-in line, his ears perked into the wind and struggling to control his breathing. The times he had left his home island had always been unpleasantly warm, and his own excitement did not help matters. He nearly jumped off the ferry before it had actually stopped, and nearly tripped over his own feet scuttling around trying to find the check-in tent.
Strolling to the back of the rapidly shortening line, he looked up at the sky with a smile and whispered something under his breath. He considered introducing himself to the others but stopped himself short: How many of these would he ever see again after this? Would he even have time to say his name before his turn was called? Judging by the speed of the line, he would not. All that mattered was controlling his pulse, and wiping the grin off his face that he knew was stuck fast.
