[ He'd earned the reputation of having an iron stomach, capable of digesting the most suspect of meals. Unfortunately, that talent seemed to only exist while Yi Sang's feet were firmly planted on solid land. With metaphorical tail tucked between his legs, the man was forced to retire early to his room, head spinning and only making it to the door thanks to the help of a fellow Sinner.

Based on the shuffling happening just outside his door, it must be well into the evening already. One by one, the Sinners retreat to their rooms for the night. Within the four walls of his own, it seems the worst of the Busboat's bobbing aboard the waves are mitigated. But the queasiness lingers, keeping sleep far from his reach.

Instead, Yi Sang sits on the edge of his bed pressing the heel of his hand against an eye. He'll have to draw up a solution for reducing his seasickness. Without one, he'll be utterly useless; their next destination appears to be that of a volatile lake.
