The toy boat

They arrived at the little bay near their house where Earcalie loved to play and she saw tied to a rock near the shore a ship. Well... to an adult's eye, it was clear that it was no ship, but a small boat, shaped to resemble one of the big vessels moored at Forlond (albeit stylized), with a small sail that fluttered in the wind, and oars instead of the helm. A toy boat, for all intents and purposes,  but to a child's eyes, to little Earcalie's eyes that was definitely a ship. Her ship.
