Sira Moor-Call

Sira Moor-Call keeps a tide-council desk the way other people keep a tide-table — checked twice, updated at dawn, and never wrong when it matters.

She's Zatheeri, lean aquamarine scales with the deep teal flush of someone who's spent her life in proper humidity, gold eyes that read a hull's trim before the ramp is down, and the unhurried Deck-Slow manner of a tide-liaison who's mediated fleet disputes for forty years without once raising her voice. She posted this passage. Prepaid it in full, quietly, so Tovan Run-Tide wouldn't arrive owing even the fare — her tide-cousin, berth-born like her, gone six years to Khesret station work and finally, she thought, ready to come home and stand in the council gallery like an adult.

That tells you the shape of her: she spends fleet honor before she'll let kin carry a burden she could lift. She also has the ear of Harbor-Call's tide-council, which is exactly why the crew should think hard before they let a berth standoff land on Tovan without warning her. Because Sira can mediate — she has the standing and the ledger access to unwind a messy oath if someone's honest with her early — but every bit of honor she spends cleaning up a surprise is honor she earned over four decades, spent because a decent crew didn't read their passenger straight.

Do right by Tovan in front of her and you've got a tide-liaison who owes you a good turn on a wet-hab that doesn't forget hulls. Deliver a runner without a word and make her spend standing to fix it, and she'll thank you with perfect courtesy, settle the contract to the last credit, and quietly make sure the berth knows what kind of tide you carry.
