"Indeed it is," she agreed, then held out a hand to brace herself as she continued to lean over so that she and Anthony's faces were still level.

"Indeed it is," she agreed, then held out a hand to brace herself as she continued to lean over so that she and Anthony's faces were still level.
A light blush crept on his face. "So….are those feelings about me still conflicted?"
group
She smirked at his blush, then tilted her head and looked off to the side. "If you make me think about it, yes, but if I'm just…sitting here with you, no."
"That's….good." Then, a move that surprised everyone, he gently turned her face to look at his and brought his lips to her's.

Fane—Rosia—froze in slight shock, then hesitantly returned the kiss. She was unsure of what to do, but she followed Anthony's lead.
After a few moments, he pulled away, a weird look on his face. He noticed her hesitation. "Am….did I do something wrong?"
group
She made a small noise and shook her head, sitting up to run a hand through her hair. "No, no, you didn't. I just…I'm new to all of this."
"A pirate….that is new to kissing?" he asked, an obviously relieved look on his face.
group
She scoffed and lightly smacked his chest, hiding her blush with her hair as she looked away. "You don't see me joining in on the makeout sessions on this ship, do you?" She had openly opposed to it that one time.
"That is true," he said, reaching his arm out to readjust the ice on his leg. "I thought that I had read the signals wrong when you didn't seem to enjoy it."
group
She shook her head and moved so she was laying next to him instead of sitting, moving onto her side so she was facing him, despite her slowly fading blush. "No, you just…caught me off guard."
"I see that now." He laid back down on his back, letting out a sigh. "I was not sure what I was expecting, to be honest. I was just hoping to not get slapped."
group
"Well, mission accomplished," she said with a soft smile, then bit her lip and leaned over before she could chicken, her lips pecking his cheek before she pulled back and hid her face with her hair. This is why she never got close to people—she was just a mess covering it up with a smug attitude.
He smiled happily, looking over at her with a glow in his eyes. "You really are a mess."

"Shuddup," she mumbled, then went the extra mile and rolled onto her other side so her back was to the prince. "I'm a lonely pirate, I know."
"Not anymore you aren't," he said, rolling over and slowly snaking an arm around her side. "Damnit, I used another compound word."
group
She grinned, though he couldn't see it. "And swore, princy. I'm corrupting you," she cooed, tilting her head back to look up at him.
"Mmmph," he grumbled, scowling. "I need no reminding of how much of a bad influence you are on me."
group
"And yet here you are," she gestured to his arm around her, "preventing me from getting away. How very contradicting."
"Well, since I am not allowed to walk, neither are you," he said mischievously, hugging her a bit tighter.
group
She sighed dejectedly, though she had a small smile on her face as she closed her eyes and relaxed into him. "How dare you try to keep me from doing things."
"Do you really have anything more important to do?" he asked, setting his chin on her shoulder.
group
"No, I don't," she admitted with minimal regret, "The recruits are free to settle in for the rest of the day, and maybe longer if I'm feeling lazy. I don't really want to deal with the rest of the crew right now."
"That sounds great to me," he said contently, stretching his head forward and giving her a kiss on the cheek.
group
"I'm making you less princely, and you're making me lazy." She smiled and tilted her head towards his when he kissed her cheek, growing more and more comfortable with this kind of intimacy.
"We are both horrible for each other," Anthony mumbled, his eyes slowly closing. The amount of work he had done that day was beginning to take its toll.
group
"Yes, we are." She glanced back at him and saw him closing his eyes. "Don't you be falling asleep on me," she halfheartedly scolded.
"Why can't I?" he asked, opening one eye and smiling sleepily. "Seems like an acceptable time for it."
group
"Because I said so," she mumbled, making no move to get away from him, "What if I want to get up and you're still knocked out?"
"Then you will have to sit there and suffer," he said, closing his eyes again and letting out a sigh of contentedness.
