Tate woke at lunchtime to the sound of ducks quacking near the barge. She turned around, and saw the captain tossing bits of baguette over the side.
"I should really introduce myself," she thought to herself, and cautiously approached him. "Hello, friend," he said, and smiled. Tate smiled back, although this wasn't obvious to the captain. She decided to risk sitting down, and eyed his cheese sandwich intently. She hadn't eaten a thing since leaving Bric-à-Brac!
The captain seemed to understand her interest in his lunch, and broke off a generous portion. He set it down next to Tate, and she lost no time devouring every last crumb.
