....Did that hurt you...?



*"I ask of you Zikar-Sin, If you were to place the Susan Delgado created by the apprentice, next to the ship that Lace and the other crafters have been carefully maintaining, and I asked you to point out the true Susan Delgado, which would you choose, and why?"*

Mmm-hmm! Sin hummed in his mind, already willing the machinery of his mind to start whizzing and turning over the ignition. Very quickly, however, Sin realized how enormous the implications of this riddle actually were; he began thinking himself into circles, seeing as the details were many and the possibilities were endless. Was this truly a riddle? Or a test of imagination?

Reeling himself back a bit, Sin closed his eyes, sighing deeply and clearing his thoughts for the moment. He must focus. One couldn't handle information overload; processing all things at one time was not a wise move, even if his beard were to drag along on the ground as he walked. Therefore, the dappled stallion split the problem up into pieces, and started dissecting them, word for word, meaning for possible meaning.

*"This ship is so frequently out at sea..."*

So there would be some form of rot in the wood, thought Sin, musing the problem behind closed lids. Plus, since it was the ocean, perhaps there would be some evidence of it? Barnacles, seaweed, saltiness among other things-- it seemed as though the water would leave its ever lasting mark upon the vessel, considering those pieces were to be replaced in order to keep smooth sailing.

"Sir," Sin said, his eyes still closed as he loosely contemplated his options, "How long was the original at sea during the time that the fabricated vessel was constructed? Was it shored, or were they still sailing it even as the apprentice worked his hand upon the loose pieces? Also, what kind of damage prompted the crew to replace a piece of the original vessel?" He opened his eyes briefly, looking at his Haruspex, "Without those answers, my answer would be this; I would lick both ships and determine that the saltiest one would be the original, sir."

He was quite serious about his method.


...Forgive Me...
