"That leaves me to wonder why they became sailors in the first place." He looked out at the sea for a moment and smiled. "It is beautiful though... no matter how whimpish or girlish it might sound, you have to agree with me on that one."

"They became sailors so they'd have enough money for the whores stupid." Asha said with a smile. "And yes its very nice." The wind was picking up as they left the bay, and Asha sensed it.
"Raise the mast and rack the oars you whoresons, let's see what this bitch can do."
The ship was soon moving along at a good clip, and the reaver girl's hair jingled like windchimes from its jewelry clanging together.

Darien stood there looking at Asha for a while. All her crazyness aside, she was a truly marvelous sight. "Can't believe my luck." He muttered quietly to himself, before staring back at the sea. "So how old were you when you first took command on a ship?"

"let's see... I'm...nineteen now... so... nineteen?" She smled, "My brother would never let me have my own ship. He always found a reason to give it to someone else."

"Not an admirable trait. Well, I guess this one can be yours - If you like the ship and crew that is." He wasn't entirely too sure if he was allowed to just give a ship to her, but then he couldn't think of a reason why not. He suddenly remembered the whole iron price thing but decided not to say anything.

"You said I'd get to captain a ship if I sailed for your sister, so thank you for keeping your word." She smiled. "Drowned Gods' Halls Darien, we could be in Volantis in a few weeks on this bad girl, she has got some sleek lines to her. Why don't we go? C'monnnn..." She pleaded, her lashes fluttering at him.

Sighing on the inside, Darien thought about how Asha could turn from steel into honey in the matter of seconds but didn't voice it. "Well, I would truly love to go but not before settling some matters. And no reaving." He knew he had to put his foot down, or at least try. "Well, there was another matter I, uhm, wanted to speak about."

"Take the wheel!" Asha said, grabbing Darien's hand, and putting it on the wheel, which lurched violently to the right.
"Hold her steady, she's not a little girl, you can play rough with her." the Reaver said, with a grin, as she let go, and gave Darien the wheel.

Feeling slightly unsure of himself, Darien held for dear life - almost as if a huge gust of wind were trying to take him away. "So, what happens if I do this?" He turned the wheel slightly and felt the ship move under him. "Oh dear..." He muttered and looked around to see how the crew and most importanly Asha were reacting to the scared look on his face.

Asha put her arms underneath Darien's, and took the wheel, pressed against his back. the ship righted itself.
"What were you saying before?"

"Ah well... uhm, that... yes." He really thought he'd ought to be looking her in the eyes but he doubt she'd let him move. "Asha," He said, deciding not to talk around the issue. "I want to marry you."

The wind picked up.
"Trim that sail you worthless pieces of horse dung. If you want to go slow, I'll throw you over board and you can walk along the bottom!" She kissed his neck.
"What did you say Darien?"

His face turning into a mask of desperation he sighed. "Ah, well...." He shut his eyes and reached for all the confidence he had. He had been drowned and reborn - There was no reason to be scared of anything. "Marry me is what I said." He said with an assured voice.

"Okay." Asha replied, "You miserable cocksuckers better get that sail trimmed or I'm gonna take it out of your asses!" She shouted to the crew, making Darien's ears ring.

That's it? "Well, uhm, seems like you have taken to that pretty well." He said, jabbing one finger in his ear. His other hand was not firmly enough on the wheel and so the whole thing slipped out of his hand. The ship made a strange movement and Darien found himself on the floor, his head pounding from having hit the deck. "Oh... why...?"

Hope you all are well and happy.
