Louis couldn't help a laugh, shaking his head a bit. "Well, if I hadn't run into you I'd probably be hanging halfway over the side of the ship..." He sighed, feeling a breath of salty air ruffle his hair. "You shouldn't worry too much... We've learned a lot over time, if---if something happens it wouldn't be too bad..." He didn't believe that, but he didn't dwell on the worst things that could ever happen. He did think about the Titanic from time to time, but if he'd heard right, they were headed toward Italy, and he was looking forward to disembarking for a few days once they arrived.

"I really don't know what else I'd be doing, honestly." Louis shrugged a bit. "I don't have many friends, and none here, so I think I'd be wandering the decks. I didn't choose a cruise for the social aspect... I didn't think." He smiled toward Ellias and hoped Ellias was looking at him.
