The ship itself seemed to take notice of his competence. Things stopped creaking in a way that suggested worry when he moved about; ropes slackened at the right time, and the small, habitual calamities that can sunder a voyage—the spilled stew, a dropped pan, a forgotten ration—were averted or mended before anyone else saw them. He was, in many small but cumulative ways, the glue. He had a habit of listening at doors; no gossip, but a steady intake of the ship’s interior life.

He lit the stove, measured out coffee with the same attention he used to weigh bread, and set three steaming cups along the counter for the men who would not have time later. His hands were callused but clean; the tattoo of a cross partly hidden on the inside of his wrist had been smudged by years of work and salt. When the first mate knocked and came in with a clipped report about a sail snagged on the mizzen, Tomas nodded, offered a towel, and handed him a cup without looking up from the bowl he was scrubbing.
