i 'd had the opportunity to take off my cloak , hat and gloves , nose through frey 's stuff on his desk and wash up when skylar brought some warmed water to pour in the copper pitcher and i had a brass spyglass to one eye and was on my knees in the bench at the back , peering out at pretty much nothing ( because it was still dark and there was a huge ass ship behind is that was in my way ) when frey came back .
