Across Seas

Henriette just gave a small nod in response to that, sliding her hand into Caspian's gently.

He held her hand. "Are you ok?"

"Fine," She assured, leaning into him a little bit and resting her head on his shoulder. "What've you been talking about? You've looked worried."

"Its nothing that you need to worry about."

"Come on Cas, tell me,"

"Its nothing."

She sighed softly and brushed her thumb over his knuckles gently.

He kissed her buckles.

"So… do you reckon mermaids exist? You ever seen one?" She asked quietly, asking again, excitedly, "Oh have you ever found Atlantis? We should search for Atlantis."

"You've been watching too many films." He told her playfully.

"I like films." She grinned, "But seriously! It's proper mythology, not just film stuff. You reckon Atlantis exists?"

"Apparently it does."

"What do you think?"

"I'm skeptical."

"I'm optimistic about it,"

"Fair enough." He smiled.

"I'd love to find a lost city…. Go down in history for it."

"Yeah it woud be fun."

She nodded, "I guess that's my dream… to be remembered by people, you know?"

"You'll be remembered some day."

"At the minute I won't, I haven't done anything exciting or extradionary or anything like that. All my friends on land were all making things of theirs lives and I was just there, really average. Average grades no matter how hard I tried, not overly sporty, they were all prettier and more popular than me too. Hopefully on this ship it'll change, I might actually be the best at something."

"Lets see where the voyage takes you ok?"

"Mm," She hummed softly in agreement, "We'll see,"

He smiled at her.

"So far it's been pretty great here, mind," She whispered, kissing him on the lips gently.

(( Hmm… drama ideas… should I nag Fruit to join here? ))
