Conceding the point with a nod, Crowley winches in his wings once more.

"Hokay," he grunts, straightening up and settling the sailcloth - by dint of some slightly awkward manoeuvres - across his shoulders. "I'm going to get this up on the quarterdeck and then maybe see 'f I can get started on the forecourse."

He turns to Wellard.

"Wellard, make sure no one else falls on her."

And then to River, sternly (the effect ruined somewhat by the odd tilt of his head as the heavy sail presses against the back of his neck):

"River... stop letting people fall on you."
