Across Seas

"I don't want to cause any more problems here. That's all. I can sleep on deck and stay away from the general populace that doesn't want me here."

---

"I just don't want anyone to get hurt by some pirate from a different crew on our decks! That's the only point I want to make!"

He done the same.

"Don't worry about it." She brought her down to the dorms.

"You have made that point repeatedly."

She just rested her head on his shoulder instead.

Kiya gently stroked Bloodwing nervously, coughing gently into her free hand as she followed.

---

"I've just grown up to be wary."

"So have I Zachary, but you need to trust me over this."

Mary brought her to a room and she opened the door for her.

Caspian kissed her forehead.

"Well, it's been an eventful day, hm?"

"I don't know if I can trust you, bringing on a member of the Dagger."

---

"Is this the part where you lock me in?"

"No this is the part where I go and join my sister." She told her. "Sleep well." She headed up to the top deck.

"Hey I didn't say that she was staying, its a trial."

"Yeah it has."

"How're you feeling?"

"I'm ok, are you?"

"Tired," She whispered.

Kiya watched her go nervously before coaxing Bloodwing to hop off of her shoulder onto the headboard.

---

"But even letting her stay at all? That isn't a good move."

Mary moved to sit next to Emmet. "Are they still argueing?" She whispered to him.

"Well guess what I'll probably be the first to get killed, so we shall see."

"I sort of agree with Zach. Though that's because she's already tried to kill me today."

"If you already think that way, then get rid of her!"

"Tired," Henriette grumbled in response.

"This conversation is over Zachary." Amora stood and left the table, heading to the captains quarters.

Mary sighed as her sister left.

"Do you want to head to bed?"

Henriette shook her head, "You wanna go after your sister and let her vent? She looks like she needs to vent to someone."

"I will later."

"M'kay…. Seems your the first new mate then, huh?"

Zachary angrily stabbed at his food.

Emmet stared at his plate. "Zach's gonna do something stupid. I don't think that girl is gonna last long on this ship."

"Yeah I guess I am."

"You happy 'bout it?"

"I hope he really wants to see the bad side to my sister." Mary sighed.

Amora sat in her office watching the waves.

"About being first mate yes, about being with you yes, about my sister being unhappy no."

"Did she even keep someone on her room though? What's to stop her escaping? If she lived on a pirate ship, she's gonna know where all the side boats are."

"Then you will have nothing to worry about."
