Jamie's face, already drawn and grim, grew somewhat grimmer at this question. The completest of landlubbers, he was not just prone to seasickness, but prostrated by it. He had been violently ill all the way from Inverness to Le Havre, though sea and weather had been quite calm. Now, some six hours later, safe ashore in Jared's warehouse by the quay, there was still a pale tinge to his lips and dark circles beneath his eyes.
Jamie’s expression turned even more somber when questioned about his condition. Unlike those who readily adapt to the sea, he suffered deeply from seasickness, unable to find relief even in calm waters. His journey from Inverness to Le Havre had left him severely ill, a state that lingered long after they had reached the shore.
Now, after spending around six hours recuperating in Jared’s warehouse, Jamie still displayed the effects of his ordeal. His lips retained a pallid hue, and dark circles marked his eyes, a testament to his struggle with the sea travel that had taken such a toll on his health.
