Shed your skin

Characters: Captain Goldgills
Hey, it’s that little skull from the title page! I wonder what that’s all about?
The person they have a portrait of is the last salamandrian admiral of Idenau, who is viewed as a tragic hero by many of his species. He’s also Wings’s great-great-uncle, so there’s that too. It was thought that the split crest (which her great-grandmother, the admiral’s twin, also bore) had disappeared from their lineage, until it showed back up in her.
He really just got naked and jumped out a window. Good for you, Goldie!
Haven’t we all wanted to do that?

Cinder would be so proud of him, out here showing all his skin to the masses.
I’m really digging the portrait on the back wall.
And for some reason I never took Goldgills for a skinny-dipper, but here we are!
Thank you!
All salamandrians get naked when they swim, because they need to get the seawater into their pores. It’s part of how they stay healthy. So there’s nothing unusual about it- but being that Goldgills is never seen in public without clothing, there are plenty of people in the crew’s coastal haunts who’d be quite, shall we say, taken aback to see this…
