Summary: Shipwreck AU. Kangin nods. It's not the first time he's escorted royal goods; his ship is the fastest and most experienced in his kingdom's fleet, and a goodwill gift is nothing out of the ordinary.
Author's Notes: For taintedwindows for sujuexchange, originally posted here. The exchange mods blackmailed me called me in at the very last minute to pinch-hit. I used the prompt "It deepens like a coastal shelf." Somewhat inspired by "The Open Boat" by Stephen Crane and The Life of Pi by Yann Martel, if by "inspired" I mean "does a horrible disservice to." I could have done more with this, I think, but time restraints...
