Brand thought it certainly wasn't the White Lion Armor causing the problem. He turned his head and looked at James with a questioning gaze. The cargo hold of the 'Distant Land' was filled with goods and ballast; if strange sounds could be heard there, other than rats, they were most likely coming from outside the cabin. If it was rats, there was nothing to worry about, but if it was coming from outside the cabin, then there was a problem. Sounds do not travel in water as well as in air, and with a layer of ship deck between, to hear sounds meant that either the thing outside was very close or it was something huge.
"Which side?" the young Captain immediately asked.
Brand turned his gaze to his subordinate, and Caglis immediately responded, "Should be the port side."
