she steps out of reach of the drunken sailor and slips out the door. A pub full of sailors was not a safe place for her to gather information. The city was massive, bustling with people, and completely unknown to her. The towering buildings that surrounded the sound made the port-city streets seem to be cut apart from the rest of the world. The hundreds of ships had brought more people than usual, making it impossible to walk anywhere without bumping into people. Faylin didn't like touching people, and struggled with the crowds. But she was determined to find the ship she had heard about, the one that swore it would be the first through the gate. Any ship going through that gate first was going to have her on board. She couldn't let anyone else get to the wealth that rightfully belonged to her. Even if it meant touching people in an overcrowded city that eagerly awaited the decision for who would be officially endorsed as Kogh empire's choice to be the first through the gate. Even if it meant piracy. The ship she searched for was rumored to plan on departing tonight, well before the empire held their drawing. Feylin walked along the dock, lost in thought as she tried to figure out how to locate this ship.

Jonah BOT 04-Nov-21 04:17 PM

Jonah Udell threw the deck hands around as he moved through the ship. "We are gonna get that damn treasure! And if we are gonna do that, you sorry pukes are gonna have to work harder than this!" The Grizzled Pearl, Jonah's ship, glided into port as Jonah continued to help, or better yet cussed and screamed, in spots where he was needed. Once the ship has been tied down and the crew assembled in front of him. Jonah began to lay down the ground rules, "Be jolly, be merry, but if you go to jail, that's its for you! We are here on a mission, find me someone who knows anything about this gate!" Jonah retreated to the captains quarters of the ship after releasing the crew into the city. He had planned to join them himself, but first he needed to "freshen up." Smiling as he laid out his city clothes in front of him, including his prized hat, he began to reflect on the last time he had made his way into the city, including the jail time. 'What a wonderful time,' Jonah thought to himself. As he swiftly changes into the city clothes, he begins moving from the deck of the ship. Smiling as he inspects the ship, mainly for damage, but also for his own satisfaction. He definitely loved his ship and his 'occupation' indeed.

faylin watches the rough crew disembark from the even rougher ship. Everything about this ship screams "pirate", meaning it's exactly the type of ship she was looking for. Once the crew passes she let's herself on board, climbing up the rope ladder they used to get down. She wanders around for a moment, looking in a barrel, inspecting a pile of rigging, and looking for a way belowdecks. Coming to a door, she quietly opens it and slips through, closing the door behind herself. She doesn't notice the occupant in the cabin until she turns back around. The startled squeak she let's out before clamping her hand over her mouth rings loud through the small, crowded room. She freezes, knowing there is no way for her to get away unnoticed.

Jonah BOT 04-Nov-21 04:40 PM

After inspecting the ship for his damages, Jonah returned to the captains quarters and readied himself to move out for the city, and whatever fortunes or nightmares await. He smiled as he looked into a mirror, but noticed a light from outside invading the slight darkness of the interior. Through the mirror of the captain's quarters, he spots a small red haired figure come through the door and closing it shut behind them. Sneaking to his right, he pulls his rapier from his belt. Make light steps, he finds himself in the eye sight of the figure. He quickly throws up his rapier at the 'invader' and pushes it towards them, "You have quite a bit of confidence for someone's who's ship this ain't" He said as he kept the rapier very close to the figure.

her heart pounds and cold sweat trickles down her spine. She seems to have forgotten how to speak, opening and closing her mouth without a sound before she clears her throat to try again. "I'm looking for someone." She says, not a hint of fear in her voice.

Jonah BOT 04-Nov-21 04:53 PM

Noticing a more feminine voice, "Ah, are we now, lass?" He laughed as he refused to back up or move his rapier away from her throat. She was very confident, even in the face of his rapier. He liked that, he respected that. "Well, it looks like you have found them, because if you don't tell me why you are on my ship, you are about to find someone at the bottom of this port sea."

Feylin Aludior BOT 04-Nov-21 05:00 PM

"I am looking for the captain that swore to be the first through the gate. I will be on that ship." Faylin remains frozen, eyes on the blade at her throat. The longer the blade goes without piercing through her, the more confident she is that it won't. "Do you know what captain I speak of?" She asks, still without a hint of the cold terror that dances on her spine.

Jonah BOT 04-Nov-21 05:07 PM

Jonah smiles slightly, but the smile grows bigger, then a hearty chuckle! He removes the blade from the girl's throat and puts it back in his belt. "Well, you have found him! Jonah Udell! Captain of the Grizzled Pearl!" He smiles as he gestures. The crew had not been out long, but they had already found him a lead of the history of this gate. He was esstatic. "What do you know, Mrs...?" He said as he lingered on the end, waiting for her to give a last name.

Feylin Aludior BOT 04-Nov-21 05:17 PM

the sword drops and Faylin sways slightly as her muscles turn to liquid. Upon hearing the captain, however, she perks up visibly. "You mean, you...? This ship?" She smiles, becoming more animated as her excitement mounts. "You are the pirate captain who vowed to be the first through the gate?"

Jonah BOT 04-Nov-21 05:25 PM

"Ah, I be the one..." He said as he smiled and reach out a dirty palm to her, the weeks of filth from the sea still present on him. "The Grizzled Pearl will be the first ship to get to that gate, but first we need to know what it is. I sent my men out to get more information and they sent me you! What have you got for me!?"

Feylin Aludior BOT 04-Nov-21 05:38 PM

thinking quickly, Faylin smiles at the captain, glancing at his hand and clasping her own behind her back to offer a quick bow, the customary greeting of the neighboring Bentun empire. "I'm a collector of maps, as it were. I can't tell you any more about the gate than we already know. But the international waters have been completely blocked from civilian travel, leaving the location of the gate a mystery to those not in power." She produces a scroll tube with an intricate lock from the satchel on her shoulder and deftly enters the code to pull out a scroll. "May i?" She asks, moving toward the navigation table to spread out the map. "See captain, the year on this map puts it at exactly one thousand years. This gate has a pattern. But this map shows the exact location it was in last time."" "May i?

Jonah BOT 04-Nov-21 05:43 PM

Smiling at this girl's brass, almost arrogant nature, he liked it. As he looked over the map, he noted land marks that he had initally stumbled on before, but nothing other than those few landmarks made sense to him. "Well, we definitely don't have something like this. How much for the map, Ms...?" Still angling to get her name.

Feylin Aludior BOT 04-Nov-21 05:55 PM

Faylin pales, but she knew she was going to have to buy passage somehow. Still, selling family heirlooms, when so few are left, isn't pleasant. She rolls the map and has it locked in the scroll tube in an instant, then turns to the captain with her arms crossed. "This map is a relic of the Kay Empire, Captain, it's priceless. The only trade I will accept is safe passage on board your ship through the gate."

Jonah BOT 04-Nov-21 06:00 PM

Jonah let out a hearty laugh, "You!? On my crew!?" Jonah lets out another gut laugh, holding his sides for a moment. "You, girl, are not what I would think is seaworthy. But I have been surprised in my years. You see I have been on these seas since I was born, your Kay relics mean nothing to me. When I look at that all I see is a map and I want that map for the treasures, but you want to go through the gate... What do you get from this trade because those treasures are mine?

Feylin Aludior BOT 04-Nov-21 06:03 PM

"that treasure is the bridal dowry of princess Feylin Aludior the first of Kay! It is the property of the Kay empire!" I say testily, frowning. "What claim do you have to any of it?!"

Jonah BOT 04-Nov-21 06:10 PM

Jonah looks at her with smile and a boastful arrogance, "Well, it would be my ship going through the gate, my ship carrying the treasure, and my ship leaving the gate with that treasure... What claim would the Kay Empire have for my treasure that they could not secure in a thousand years?" Jonah looked down at her, the height difference very noticable at this point. "You want passage onto my shift?" Jonah asked, changing the subject, "What can you provide in the way of work on my ship? Why do I want you on my ship?

Feylin Aludior BOT 04-Nov-21 06:21 PM

Faylin shifts from one foot to the other, not expecting to hit on another tripping point in her plan so quickly. This wasn't the first ship she'd been on, but she had never been expected to work on board before. "I'm willing to work, Captain. Whatever you are willing to train me to do." She offers, knowing it's a long shot.

Jonah BOT 04-Nov-21 06:23 PM

Jonah moved back to inspect, "Well, first, I need to know my crew members name," Jonah boasted as he opened the door, mentioning for to move to the deck of the ship, "You seem to be quite quiet on that front, lass."

Feylin Aludior BOT 04-Nov-21 06:41 PM

"my name is Faylin Aludior the fifth," she said, suddenly realizing what she could offer that the captain might be interested in. "I am the last living heir of the Kay Empire, and ever treasure on that ship rightfully belongs to me. For what it's worth, you would carry my endorsement on this...mission."

Jonah BOT 08-Nov-21 02:29 PM

"Oh, forgive me, your highness!" Jonah bellowed with a boisterous laugh and a fake half-hearted bow. Jonah, continuing to move throughout the deck of the ship, "I hope your highness is okay with manual labor," Jonah exclaimed as he dug into a trap door on the deck, pulling out a mop and metal bucket, "Here is your crown and cane!

disgruntled, and slightly offended, I bite my tongue and take the mop and bucket. "I'm no stranger to hard work, Captain. And the Kay Empire has never used something as temporary as a crown to mark their honors." I can't help but retort as your mocking laughter rings in my ears. "Even a cursed pirate would falter at receiving the cloak." The reverence in my tone indicates that I'm not referring to a piece of clothing. "Where would you have me mop, captain?" I glare defiantly, my apprehension from earlier unwisely overrun by anger at your mocking tone. I spit the word "captain" with enough disgust to curdle milk.

Jonah BOT 08-Nov-21 02:54 PM

"Somewhere around here would be nice," Jonah laughed as he could see the offense in her face, pointing his finger around the deck in a circular motion before moving towards the ladder off the ship, "That should be good enough for now!"

Feylin Aludior BOT 08-Nov-21 03:54 PM

I watch you leave, then set the mop down. Anger is a weakness, one that, like fear, can lead to foolish mistakes. I walk to the rail and stare out at the water, breathing the salty ocean air in and controlling my anger, honing it, turning It into determination. This captain thinks he knows what royalty is. Well I'm not what he expects. Kay Empire hasn't existed for almost a thousand years, but loyalty from our people has been and is as strong as it ever was. We've had to adapt to being a people without a land, and adapt we have. And we are still here, which should say something about us. I take up the bucket, tie a rope to it, and throw it overboard to haul up water. If the deck is to be mopped, fine, I'll mop it. After an hour or two of working on the deck, under the relentless sun, I realize I can't continue wearing the layers of clothes I've grown used to wearing. Since I wasn't given a place to put my belongings, I return to the cabin and set my bag under the navigation table. Then I start taking off layers, undressing until I have only my cotton undershirt and thin, ribbed corset, on. I blush as I consider what I'll look like, out on the deck in my underwear. I actually took my underpants off, opting for the brown canvas pants I wear while traveling. I head back out to continue working, noticing a huge difference now that I'm dressed more appropriately. As I work I even start to enjoy the labour.

Jonah BOT 10-Nov-21 05:47 AM

Jonah spent the majority of his day gathering supplies for the trip and drinking. Finding himself in a bit of relaxed mood. He had came to this town with one idea in mine, but found it before he even stepped off the ship. Luck was surely in his favor. After ordering the last of his supplies and getting an idea of when they would be delivered to his ship, he decided to return to the ship to check on their new crewmate before heading out to the local tavern for the night. Unfortunately, it appears that his crew had made it back before him.

I hear people approaching and become leery, unsure of what to expect. The first one on the deck let's out a cry, and more come running. I stand there with the mop, staring them down, until someone grabs me from behind and hoists me up over ther shoulder. I swing the mop and manage to smack the end into his side, much to the crews entertainment. I'm unceremoniously dropped back to the deck and the mop wrested from my hands. Someone's foot pins me to the deck and the conversation begins to fill with lewd, aggressive remarks about what should be done with me. I try to squirm out from under the heavy foot holding me down, but he only puts more weight on it.

Jonah BOT 11-Nov-21 09:35 AM

It was good haul from the stores, but it will be sometime before we can the rations on board and begin traveling again, I was hoping that "Princess" was happy with the job of swabbing the deck. I honestly hope she hasn't left. I need that map to find the gate... As I find myself turning the corner to the port, I hear a commotion coming from the ship. It seems our crew has found our new crewmate... Especially Artie. I quicken my pace to the Grizzly and as my head pops up over the side of the ship. "Ah, what do you think your doing!?" I shouted as I cleared the top of the deck. I pull the rapier and shove Artie away from our new crew member, "This is no way to be harassing our new crewmate, especially someone who is gonna take us to the gold!" I extend a hand to Faylin and motion for her to get up.

I quickly climb to my feet and look around at the assembled sailors. No, I remind myself, these are pirates. And I was a fool to forget that. They talk amongst themselves, questioning my ability to pull my own weight, to tie a knot, to climb rigging, even if I could be at sea without loosing my lunch. That confuses me for a moment, but the raucous laughter and theatrical demonstrations that ensue clear that up quickly. I don't respond to any of their barbs, taunts, or insults. Which only seems to fuel their fervor. Some of the remarks take a decidedly uncomfortable turn when it's pointed out that they could use a ship's whore, and one even goes so far as to thank the captain for the new crewmember in that context. Standing there practically in my underwear doesn't help, I'm sure.

I listen and laugh along with their jokes, barbs, and casual ribbing until it takes a turn for the worse. Letting them get it out of their system, but once they are done, I stand in command. "I hope you all have gotten this out of your system," I exclaim, "This is no whore... I will have you know, this is the person that has got the map to the gate. Do none of you want the gold? Without her navigating us, we won't get it." The wheels cranking in my head, "Navigator," I exclaim softly to myself before letting out a belly laugh, "Ms. Fay here is gonna be our new navigator. She is gonna get us to the gold and we are gonna be rich!" I am met with confused silence. Muttering amongst the crew continues until Artie speaks up, "I think she looks like a piece of meat, and I haven't had some snatch in a long time. If I want her, I am gonna take her." As he starts to walk to her, I begin to step in between the two, pulling for my rapier.

with skill born of years of practice, I neatly render the advancing pirate unconscious. Nobody notices anything because there was nothing to notice. One moment he was striding toward me, the next he slumped to the floor. He appeared dead, but was only asleep, and would remain so for at least an hour. It was, to all appearances, just a string of prayer beads with a Spiral pendant. I wore it wrapped around my wrist, always. All I had to do was touch the right place on the pendent and a tiny microburst of a tranquilizing liquid concentrate. So long as it was breathed or contacted the eyes or mouth, any person would feel almost instant effects. I'd lucked out, the wind was blowing from the sea. I watch him drop, hoping there was no overspray that will cause anyone else to loose consciousness. Someone kneels to check the man, confirming that he is alive.

As I begin to step in front of the girl and Artie, I heard a slight burst of wind and then Artie fall with a clatter. I am unsure of what happened and pause for a moment with confusion. I watch as one of the men check Artie and confirm that he is still breathing. I smile, that smile turns into a bolstering laugh, "I don't know what you did, Fay, but that was impressive!

If she can't, I will take care of you for her." I flash a smile to the crew and then shout for them to get back to work, the ship needs repairing before we can move out when the store supplies arrive. As the crew begins to scatter to their various tasks, I motion for Fay to come with me, "Come on, I don't think you will be able to bunk in the regular quarters." I motion her towards the captains room.

I manage not to run. I keep my back straight- not difficult, with a corset, and my eyes alert. It only just now starts to really dawn on me that I will be spending an extended period of time in a confined space with a several "men of fortune". I step into the cabin and go for the navigation table and the pile of my belongings. I absently pick through the scant pile, lost in thought. I have nobody to instruct me anymore. I took this task, knowing it was going to be difficult. Once the ship leaves port, there will be no turning back. I have no intention of turning back.

I watch as Fay picks through her belongings absent mindedly. I can see the distress on her face. As she ruffles through her belongs, I reach into an old chest in the corner of the room and pull out an old piece of cloth, a hammock. Attaching the piece of cloth to two different screws in the sides of the cabin, it lays out directly over another chest. "You can put your belongings in here," as I turn to her and face her, tossing a lock in her direction with key inside of it, "Lock it up as well. It should be safe in the cabin, but you never know." I continue to watch as she goes through the motions... "I apologize for that," motioning to the deck, "They are not use to new crew members and they are a pack of savages, but if you assert yourself like you just did, they will respect you in due time. Feel free to take as much time as you need, Navigator Fay.

I look up at you sharply, wondering at the change in tone. You seem almost sympathetic, though I'm not fool enough to think it will be easy to get the empire's wealth from the hands of a pirate. Pirate s were the entire reason it was lost! "Captain?" I incline my head towards you in a respectful bow, "Thank you for what you said out there. About defending me." I turn back to my few possessions, then, as an afterthought, "I have been trained in navigation, you know. At the hand of three masters of naval navigation."

"Well, we are lucky to have you with us then, especially with someone who has the map to very area we need," I add as I continue to sort through things on my end of the cabin, "Feel free to use any of the equipment we have here." I look over at the equipment, its in heavy despair. It definitely has seen better days, but it is what we have to use. I felt guilty that I had left her on the ship to be abused like she was. We are pirates, but I hope she doesn't think we are pirates like that. I move to my bed in the middle of the back wall of the cabin, sitting down on the edge of the bed. "What can you tell me about this treasure that you haven't so far?"

What can't I tell you? My empire ended when that treasure- dowry- was stolen. I know exactly what is on that ship. And quite frankly, I'm going to be shocked if it hasn't sunk to the bottom of whatever ocean is on the other side of that gate." I say, only a hint of a smirk showing.

"Well, we better hope we get there quickly," I said with a smile, as I motion her over to the navigation table, "Help me plan our route there." I clear off the navigation table that has an older map, that doesn't even show some of the newest towns or colonies in the world. I blow dust off the map and continue to wipe off all the dust and surround area. "I was here when I first even heard the story of the gate and I knew that I must have it," I said as I pointed to a small island on the map, "Would this be anywheres close?"

I walk over, pausing to grab a dividers and protractor from the various objects he had cleared off the navigation table. I tsk my tongue against the roof of my mouth as I see the state of the map, and the various routes already drawn on it. The map on the table is huge, the size of the table, allowing details to be shown. Working from memory, having studied the smaller map at great length, I set the tools I've already located on the table and look around for a pen and ink. I return to the table and study the chart again, taking up the dividers to measure distances and marking a point on the map. I write a set of coordinates under the point, then neatly lable it underneath. I step back, looking the whole thing over again, then sigh. "This map needs updated, Captain. I need a list of coastal towns, with coordinates. I'm not as familiar with this area, not enough to map here with accuracy. Then ill need red and blue ink, as well, and so I can transfer the historical points from the empire map. They most likely won't exist anymore, but having them for reference is a good idea." I step close to the Captain and reach over the table with the dividers to measure from the point he had indicated. There is no town marked on the island you'd pointed out. Frowning, I bite my lip and glance at him. "Whatever town is here, it's newer than this chart. What's it called?" I ask, quickly becoming engrossed in the work. The navigation table, designed for men to stand at and work comfortably, is conserably tall for me. I almost have to. Climb up onto the table to reach across, as it is, I have to hop up and reach, laying across the tabletop, legs dangling with my feet dangling above the floor, to reach the point you'd indicated and measure to another point, where a port is already labeled.

I shimmy a bit further unto the table, pressing my thighs against the edge, not realizing how immodestly my rear is displayed in this position. "But we can probably sail for this port, then leave the coast to get to the island, to be sure." I glance back at you again, then set my chin in my hand and walk the dividers over the surface of the map.

Jonah BOT 13-Nov-21 10:53 AM

I smile to myself as I watch her maneuver the table. She definitely was the smallest crew member I have ever had on the Grizzly Pearl. I continue to listen to her instructions, however catch myself staring as she makes her way over the table. It was very nice, I can't lie. My gaze is quickly adverted as she spoke again, I stumble over my words, "Uh, I don't remember the name of that town, but the party was immaculate!" I continue to watch as she works and let her get to a stopping point. I make a move to a desk in the side of the room, pulling out a key and unlocking it. I pull out a bag of jiggling money. I count out several dozen coins. "This should be enough to buy you what is needed for navigation purposes," I say as I hand over the coins, "If you need anything for the trip, you should buy it as well. And I am not sure if you need it, but I left enough in there for a drink."

Feylin Aludior BOT 13-Nov-21 11:41 AM

I quickly sit up, scooting to the edge of the table to hold out both hands and catch the coins. For a moment I just stare at it. Being heir to an empire that doesn't exist is not the easy position it seems. My people have been forced to live in secret, following their beloved leaders for generations as their numbers gradually dwindled. People settled where they could. Despite the loyalty of my countrymen, my family was destitute. And because of the loyalty of my countrymen, it was my right and my duty to ensure the needs of my people were met. Each of my predecessors had found their own way to see to that responsibility. Mine was, I believed, an investment in my people that would yield a consistent return. I had never held a coin that wasn't immediately put toward a profitable endeavor. Whether it was helping collect funds for the purchase of a shop, or buying a horse to pull a trade wagon, my money was never my own. Some members of the empire had managed to find a prosperous life, and it was through those various people that I had been taught and raised with the best they could offer. Three of them had been navigators, and there had been others. As loyal families of my empire, they had been more than happy to show their continued support by providing for my needs and offering training. Holding the coin, I find the though of spending it on my own needs to be highly uncomfortable. I only allow myself a brief moment of indecision, however, before hopping off the table and offering a deep bow. "Thank you, Captain. I'll be quick." I assure you, returning to the chest to grab my bag before locking it and darting out the door. I ignore the remarks from the crew as I all but run to the rope ladder hanging down the side of the ship and rapidly descend.

Feylin Aludior BOT 13-Nov-21 11:52 AM

once in the city I locate a scribe shop and purchase inks and pens. I ask about the large navigation chart they have on display, but the price makes me balk. I leave without it. I head to a boutique, purchase what I'll need to stay sanitary for a long sea voyage, and carefully pack it all into my bag. I have a few coins left, and head back to the scribe. After some discussion, I negotiate for a large chart, lesser quality, but still more recent than the one on the ship. Satisfied, I head back to the ship with my purchases. A tailor shop catches my eye, and I pause to admire the display. On a hatstand is a finely crafted tricorn hat. Considering the pink and tender skin I was already sporting, a hat would be a smart investment. But with just pennies left, I don't even wonder at the price.

Feylin Aludior BOT 13-Nov-21 12:00 PM

still, the hat is tempting. I step in the shop to see it, fully aware of the tailor eyeing me warily all the while. I pick up the hat to see how it is lined and almost drop it in surprise! The Kay Empire crest, discreetly disguised, is the makers mark! I turn to the suspicious tailor, beaming, and spread my arms wide as I bow and give the traditional greeting. The tailor looks confused, but a young boy at the back of the shop speaks up. "Da, it's mums friend." He answers my greeting with an approximation of the appropriate response. The tailor relaxes at the explanation. After a brief conversation I learn that the man's wife, who had designed his mark, had passed away several months earlier. It was at his son's insistence, who assured his father that should they ever need it, Kay Empire would help them with anything, that the man made a gift of the hat. I proudly wear it as I board the ship again, heading back to the cabin with a grin, despite the catcalls and teasing from the rest of the crew.

Jonah BOT 13-Nov-21 12:38 PM

As I watch her dart out the door, I smile to myself. She is kinda cute, she's definitely eager, definitely something that could improve moral around here. Unfortunately, these are your normal group of scallywags. They will catcall and push themselves on her. Mainly the reason I want her in my cabin. She is definitely something that can not be lost. After we lost the last navigator, it was hard enough to get to this port city, but none the less, we are here, and she might be our only hope of getting to the gate and that treasure. While she is out on her supply run, I continue to monitor actions on the ship, including repairing of the haul after the last gun battle we had with the Star Crew in the middle of the ocean. It was a fierce battle, but we managed to escape one another with only minor damages. As we were working on the outside of the haul, a shipment of fruit, vegetables, and spices arrived to the ship. Our cook, Harold, was able to get everything checked and sorted to the kitchen on deck. Unfortunately, we have a small kitchen to accompany the small crew cabin on the ship. All in all, the ship houses 10 crew members, 1 cook, 1 captain, 1 gunner, and now 1 new navigator. As she returns, I smile at her as I see her new hat, "Ah! Look at you! Ready for the high sea with that headwear!?" I shout from top of the steering deck of the ship. I am almost gitty to met her on the deck, but I contain my excitement. This is a new unusual feeling for me.

Feylin Aludior BOT 13-Nov-21 01:24 PM

I grin as the captain comments on my hat and hurry to the cabin as he joins me, offering an explanation for my haste. "I need to get this put out before it takes damage!" I indicate the rolled chart under my arm. It had no protective tube, being of a lower quality, and the safest place for it was tacked down on the navigation table. I set my bag under the edge of the table and start pulling tack up and sticking them around the edge of the table. The chart on the table has been there so long it doesn't curl, and I grimace, hoping it doesn't crumble when I take it up. Old charts are a treasure worth preserving.

Jonah BOT 13-Nov-21 01:29 PM

I follow Fey to the captain's quarters where the navigation table is located. I watch as Fey takes down the navigation maps on board already and feel a tinge of embarrassment at how old and weathered our previous map had been. I continue to watch her in the off chance that she does happen to bend across the table again and I could a glance of that very cute body of hers, then felt guilty at the same thought. This woman... This girl... As she untacks the chart, I grab the chart and safely roll it up, storing it under the table with any other old maps that we have aboard, which isn't very many. "So, what new treasures have you brought me?" I question as I motion to the map under her arm.

Feylin Aludior BOT 13-Nov-21 02:14 PM

I grin and unroll the chart on the table, walking around to place the tacks instead of trying to reach across the table. I duck under the table and produce the inks and pens, then examine the map. "I checked all the charts they had. This was the most accurate, at the lowest price. It doesn't have any inaccuracies, it's just missing a few details, like whoever drew it decided it was better to leave out what he wasn't sure of, rather than place it in the wrong spot. But that's easy enough to fill in." The crisp white chart reflects the sunlight, actually brightening the whole cabin. I lean over the table to inspect a section of the map, then absently move my hand to pat at my side. I frown, stand up straight, then all the color drains from my face as my mouth drops open in shock. Just as fast, I turn beet red, glowing with embarrassment. I cover my face with my hands, backing up until I bump into the chest against the wall. "Oh! Oh no!" I mutter, muffled by my hands over my face as I slowly shake my head.

Jonah BOT 13-Nov-21 04:30 PM

Watching her frantically clearing out the area and making it her own, gave me a weird sense of pride and praise for this small girl. I have barely known her more than a couple hours, but her I found myself excited to just be in her presence as she made this area her own. I was surprised at how lit up the room was with the new map being placed on the table. It really made the room shine a little bit. I notice her stopping and frantic searching, unable to note what she was doing, I simply asked, "Fey, calm down, what's wrong? What's missing?"

Feylin Aludior BOT 13-Nov-21 04:41 PM

I mumble incomprehensible in my hands, then take a breath, trying to get my shame under control. Saying it out loud makes me turn even more crimson, making my face feel like it might burst into flames. "I went to all those stores! I'm wearing my under wear!" My voice is strained, and I can't bring myself to lower my hands. I'm on the verge of tears, mortified at my oversight.

Jonah BOT 13-Nov-21 04:47 PM

My concern, quickly grew to amazement, then to amusement! Unfortunately, in my years on the sea, I never really cared about the presence of clothing in the world, I wore what was comfortable to me, and nothing else. I smiled as I tried to had my stiffled laughter. "Ah, your underwear is a bit more than I have seen on most of the women in my life," I stated with a smile, "I don't think anyone in this port city though much of it.

My concern, quickly grew to amazement, then to amusement! Unfortunately, in my years on the sea, I never really cared about the presence of clothing in the world, I wore what was comfortable to me, and nothing else. I smiled as I tried to had my stiffled laughter. "Ah, your underwear is a bit more than I have seen on most of the women in my life," I stated with a smile, "I don't think anyone in this port city though much of it." I continued to smile as I walked over to my clothing trunk. "Have ya learned to sew?" I asked with a smile, "Cause these might be a little bigger on you, but they would be more all weather than what you were wearing." I toss her a pair of brown pants, a leather corset that was present from a... previous occupant of my bed... and a white shirt that was the cleanest I owned.

Feylin Aludior BOT 13-Nov-21 05:16 PM

I look at the clothes he offers, realizing it's basically the same thing I'm wearing now, except that the corset is a style meant to be worn as outerwear. Still, I'd be more comfortable in it than in my delicate, feminine white corset. I turn my back to the captain and reach behind myself to begin the arduous task of unhooking the row of tiny hooks that hold it in place. Patience and experience are the only things that make this task possible. That, and a good bit of flexibility.

Jonah BOT 13-Nov-21 05:17 PM

I look over at her and see her slowly making her way through the hooks on the corset and ask, "Would you like some help with that?"

Feylin Aludior BOT 13-Nov-21 05:19 PM

wishing I could sink through the floor, I nod once. "Thank You, Captain." I say quietly, lowering my arms gratefully from the awkward position required to reach the hooks.

Jonah BOT 13-Nov-21 05:22 PM

I smile, but don't let Fey see it. She is proud and stubborn. I admire that. I quickly step up behind her and unhook the corset hooks and untied the knot in the strings around the white corset. "It's almost like your switching sides in the battle," I mutter, "Changing from the white side to the dark side." I unhook the final hook and let the corset go loose. "Anything else I can help with?" I arrogantly ask as I take a step back.

Feylin Aludior BOT 13-Nov-21 05:33 PM

I take a breath, the first is always the sweetest when taking off a corset. Trying to ignore the man behind me, shifting uncomfortably from foot to foot, I check the leather corset for fit. It actually fits well, though it pushes my breasts up higher and closer together than what I'm used to. It also has laces all the up the front, another new feature. I work at tightening the laces, trying time and again to get the corset as tight as the whale bone corsets I'm used to. Finally, with a frustrated growl, I turn around and look up at the Captain. "I...can't get this tight enough." I admit. My cheeks still glow from my earlier embarrassment, and I avoid making eye contact.

Jonah BOT 13-Nov-21 05:46 PM

"Let me help," I say in almost frustration, she definitely is very independent. I walk over to Fey and look down on here, it was in this moment, I fully realized how much smaller that she was then me. I was standing nearly a foot taller than she was. As I fall to one knee, I move my fingers between the laces of the corset, loosening them slightly. I continue down the corset loosening each of the laces along the side of the corset slightly and continuing my way to the front. I slowly maneuver the laces into the right place and place my hands on Fey's hips, allowing myself to balance as I stand up. As I make my way to a standing position, I look down at Fey, hoping to catch her eye. "Hold on," I say with a grimace of sorts, "This might sting..." I grab the loose ends of the laces of the corset and pull them tight, pulling her into my body.

Feylin Aludior BOT 13-Nov-21 06:02 PM

having worn a corset ever day since I grew breasts, I know what to expect. I exhale completely, just before he pulls, and though I brace myself I'm still pulled forward. With the corset adequately tightened, I hold on to the captain for a moment, spots dancing in my eyes. I hold still, giving myself a moment to adjust to the constriction. Once the dizziness passes I look up at the captain and smile. "That was it, perfect! Thank you!" I say. I step back, pausing at the slightly lightheaded feeling. I place a hand against my stomach, breathing as deeply as the corset will allow. Once I'm sure I'm not going to pass out, I step over to the table and collect my bag. The corset shapes, lifts, and corrects posture, but this one, I notice, is not as rigid as my whalebone corsets. "Oh!" I exclaim unexpectedly, noticing my new hat. I put it on and turn to grin at the Captain. "Look, it matches!"

Jonah BOT 13-Nov-21 06:08 PM

Smiling over to this excited girl, I match her excitement, "It must certainly does," I laugh, "Starting to look more like a Captain than I." I watch as she collects her item and then I exclaim, "Do you need more time to change into the other clothes or are you more comfortable running around in your pantaloons in front of everyone with the new corset?

Feylin Aludior BOT 13-Nov-21 06:23 PM

his comment brings me to my senses. I look over at the smiling captain, frowning, and realize I've been acting like a child. I was taught to always carry myself with the dignity befitting my title. My embarrassment from before and been shocking, but it was no excuse to forget myself. I pull myself together, take my things to the chest, and tuck them away, all except the pants. I lay them over my arm and turn back to the captain, all trace of blush or excitement gone from my face. "Thank you for your help, and the change of clothing, captain." I can handle the rest. If it's all right I was going to work on plotting a course and filling in the map?"

Jonah BOT 13-Nov-21 06:28 PM

"Aye," I said as I give her a reassuring smile and an okay, "No worries, whatsoever, and listen, Feylin, its okay to be excited. We have a bright future ahead of us, I am excited for you to be on board with us." I give her a smile, a wink, and a nod as I walk out the door to allow her the first bit of privacy she has probably had all day. Opening the door and seeing disarray in front of me. It appears in my absence, several guards had gotten onto the ship and were restraining crew members of the ship. "What the hell is going on here!?" I bellow as I walk forward, pulling my rapier from my side.

Feylin Aludior BOT 13-Nov-21 06:35 PM

I hear your booming voice on the other side of the door and quickly change into the pants, thinking you are just addressing your crew. I set up to begin working on the map, laying out the pens and ink and the coordinate list I was given with it. I hear noise outside, but assume it's just captain and crew.

Jonah BOT 13-Nov-21 06:40 PM

As I rush forward, needing explanation, the guards let me know, "Sir! Everyone on this ship is under arrest! This is the Grizzly Pearl, a known piracy ship! You are wanted to high sea crimes by the kingdom! Yield now!" I stop in my tracks, standing between the door and guard, I turn to the door and bust through, throwing the hanging barricade across the door, "We need to go now!

Feylin Aludior BOT 13-Nov-21 06:44 PM

I look up startled, hearing more shouting outside. "What do I need to do, Captain?" I ask, grateful for the calmer demeanor from returning to a more dignified state of mind.

Jonah BOT 13-Nov-21 06:49 PM

"There are guards outside," I exclaim as I begin gather items from a chest under the bed, throwing them into a pack on the side of the bed, "They have arrested all the other crew and they intend to take us too, and I will not be having that." I continue to work on getting everything together, "There is an escape hatch here, I suggest you come with me or you might be in chains as well."

Feylin Aludior BOT 13-Nov-21 06:56 PM

with a Kay Empire oath I throw open the chest again and grab my bag, then the rapier you'd set down to grab your items. I slip the rapier under the edge of the map tacked to the table and with one clean slice break off all the tacks. The chart rolls itself up. "The other map that was here is damning evidence, Captain, don't leave it behind!" I glance around the room as pounding begins on the door, then, as an afterthought, grab the hammock you'd strung over the chest, drop my pack in it, and sling it over my shoulder. "What hatch, Captain?" I ask, ready to go before you finish.

Jonah BOT 13-Nov-21 07:04 PM

I turn to grab the maps under the navigator table at the mention of the older maps being incriminating. As I grab the last bit of necessary cargo, I begin hearing even louder banging on the door of the cabins quarters. "This way!" I say in a hush tone as not to alert them of our movements, sliding the bed to the side, the hatch has just enough room to open up as I make my way down, "Follow me."

Feylin Aludior BOT 13-Nov-21 07:33 PM

I drop down the hole, then follow you closely, wondering how we would escape from the belly of the ship without being see.

Jonah BOT 14-Nov-21 02:03 PM

I look frantically back at Feylin as we find our way to the haul of the ship. Usually this is where we would keep supplies if we were supplied up, but it is empty. Which is definitely going to help our escape. I run the length of the ship, making sure that Feylin is close behind me. Towards the nose of the ship, there is a secondary hatch that is water tight, I flip the switch and open the haul's hatch. Below me is nothing but water, and it is coming in quickly... "Hold on, this is gonna get dodgy."

Feylin Aludior BOT 14-Nov-21 02:31 PM

I immediately grab on to the captain, my small hand slipping under his belt and grabbing tight. I put my arm through the netting of the hammock so that it stays closed and put my hand on my hat to keep it in place, then nod decisively. I don't let the fear creeping at the edges of my awareness show. I can't.

Jonah BOT 14-Nov-21 02:36 PM

I sink into the ever growing water, letting it soak me over. It is almost ice cold and instantly sends shivers into my bones. I jump through the hole on the ship. I hate that it comes to this, but drastic measures are called for. I will not be taken in. Especially after last time I was caught. As I try to catch my bearings, I can feel the air growing tight with the shock of the colder water. I look up, or what I think is up, and push for the surface. It felt like minutes, but I reach the surface of the water and am able to take a deep breath.

Feylin Aludior BOT 14-Nov-21 02:42 PM

I hold tight to the Captain's belt, but the corset prevents me from taking a deep breath before I'm underwater. I try to stay focused, kicking my feet to help move through the water, holding tight to his belt. I ignore the tingling in my fingers and toes, continue pushing myself to move. Then exertion only speeds up the process. I loose consciousness, going limp in the water, dragged along by my hand caught through his belt.

Jonah BOT 14-Nov-21 02:49 PM

"Feylin!" I shout, almost being drowned out by the sound of the bridge creaking and cracking as the Grizzly Pearl is beginning to see its grizzly demise. I search the water around me and feel a tuck on my belt as I try to surface. Looking down, I see the unconscious face of Feylin, "Oh fuck..." I reach down and pull her up to my side, getting her face out of the water. I begin paddling towards the closest shore I see. It is about a two or three minute swim as I struggle against the tide and then let it take me close as we come to the sandy beach. As I step onto the sandy beach, I lay Feylin on the sand in front of me, "I need you to stick around, Feylin..." I begin the CPR technique that I learned from a doctor on the coast, I hope that I am doing it right.

Feylin Aludior BOT 14-Nov-21 02:58 PM

I remain unconscious, lips turning blue and my extremities getting cold. My frantic pulse, easily visible on my throat as my heart races to try and impart much needed oxygen to my body, shows that I haven't died.

Jonah BOT 14-Nov-21 03:08 PM

"Fuck, fuck, fuck..." I mumble under my breath, this is obviously not working, I continue to look over her, trying to figure out if she had been hit by something or stabbed or... The corset! I immediately, grab at my rapier, its not there. In the immediate aftermath, either I had left it or she had it and dropped it. I look around, "Shit..." I say as I reach to the laces of the corset, immediately trying to pull the corset apart. Finding the strings, I give a tug and loosen them. Slipping my hands in between her skin and the corset, pulling the corset way from her midsection, trying to relieve some of the pressure. "Ah!" He let out a grunt, before remember, the dagger. He had a small dagger that he kept around his ankle in emergencies. He reached under his pants and grabbed it, quickly slipping the blade between her skin and the corset. Slicing upward, letting the corset fall to either side of her. "Come on, Feylin..."

Feylin Aludior BOT 14-Nov-21 03:12 PM

as soon as the corset is loosened I gasp a lung full of air. I sit up, looking around in confusion. One benefit of drowning with a corset in the inability to inhale water, so there is no noisy coughing to draw attention. I rub my chest, frowning for a moment, and look down. My wite shirt is completely see-through now that it's soaked. I cover my chest with my hands and shoot a dirty look at you, but don't say a word.

Jonah BOT 14-Nov-21 03:23 PM

I hardly notice as I am staring at your mouth to ensure you are breathing. After I confirm that you are, in fact, alive, I turn around and look towards the ports. In the faint fire light of the ports lanterns, I can see the Grizzly Pearl almost completely underwater, the top of the ship still sticking out of the water. "My god..." I mutter as I fall to a knee.

Feylin Aludior BOT 14-Nov-21 03:30 PM

I untangle my arm from the hammock and grab my pack, growling when my somewhat numb fingers fumble at the strings. Finally getting it open, I sigh with relief to see that the waterproofing held true, and the contents are dry. I seal it up again and look back at the captain. "Well now what?" I ask, getting shakily to my feet. "I still need to get to the gate, Captain."

Jonah BOT 15-Nov-21 08:08 AM

As I remain on my knees, "I... I don't know..." I say as I feel the rush of sadness, impending doom, and hopelessness wash over me. "That was all I had..." I say as I feel the rush of a single tear roll down my cheek. I brush it away as I put my hands around my head in frustration. Looking at my belongings, the only thing I managed to escape with was the gold that I had remaining, 567 gold pieces, some spare clothing, the maps under the table, a few trinkets and odd ends that I had collected on my time at sea. I honestly have no clue on what to do at this point. "You might need to find another ship, your highness..." I say, acknowledging that indeed, she was superior in this moment.

having been through more adversity than anyone could consider fair, I've learned to react by not reacting. I look down at the captain, crossing my arms over my wet shirt as the chill breeze is making my nipples stand out, then look out at the port. "Captain, you've lost a ship." I say curtly, "you are supposed to be a pirate, aren't you? Look at this port! It's full of ships! What's stopping you from taking whichever one suits you?" I kneel down to watch the ship dissappear into the water. "Besides, that ship was old. You needed an upgrade anyway." I lean into him, my shoulder resting on his arm, and rest my head against him, offering comfort.

Jonah BOT 15-Nov-21 11:36 AM

I smile as I was not expecting a 'comforting' look from Feylin. It was nice, being hardened in my emotions for years upon years, having someone genuinely try to comfort him instead of telling him to be a man or push forward was nice. I sigh as I look over at her, "Your right, but that was my ship," I grimiced, "First one I ever bought on my own." I sat there for a few moments watching the ship as it feel more and more into the port sea. As the final piece of the ship came to rest, with a third of the ship still sticking out of the water. I smiled over at Feylin, "Thanks for the insult of my sinking ship," I let out a little giggle, "I guess we are starting from round one again..."

Feylin Aludior BOT 15-Nov-21 12:05 PM

"you may think it's a dead title, Captain, but the Kay Empire is far from dead. Loyalty was and is the heart of the empire. Kay loyalists are all over the empires." I take a breath, quickly working out how to say what I plan on saying. "That dowry rightfully belongs to Kay Empire, captain, and is the key to our reestablishment. I find myself in a position to offer this proposition- I will grant a full pardon, and protection as a fully established citizen of Kay Empire, and appoint you as my naval commander, with titles fitting your position, upon the successful recovery of the dowry. All my resources will be at your disposal. All I need is your word, as a man, that you will uphold Kay empires honor and loyalty." I hold my breath, fully expecting him to laugh in my face. He'd already turned down my offer of Kay empire's protection once. I feel uneasy leaving the hopes of my people in the hands of a pirate, but I have little choice at the moment. While the official lottery to choose which ship would represent this Empire and be given the honor of being the first through the gate was yet to be announced, every Empire had similar interests in the wealth that had been lost. I need the Captain's experience as a pirate to have any chance of reaching international waters.

Jonah BOT 15-Nov-21 12:11 PM

I sit for a moment, reflecting on what was just offered to me, smiling to myself... Am I really going from a pirate on the high sea to a naval commander? After my ship was just taken by guards and is half sunk in a port. What is this crazy events of a day. I stare at Feylin intently, trying to gauge if she was serious in her matter. At this point, I had no reason not to trust her, and no reason to go along without her. I have nothing, she has everything. "Your highness," I say as I stand up, looking down to her, "It would be my honor." I bend the knee to her, as I have seen royalty do before and read about in the story books. I am not sure if this is how it is done, but I fall to one knee in front of her as she sat in the same spot we were moments ago, awaiting her response.

Feylin Aludior BOT 15-Nov-21 12:20 PM

my heart pounding in my chest, feeling this is the most important decision I've made for my empire so far, and the biggest political action of Kay Empire made in generations, I reach forward and cup the Captain's face turning it up to look upon me. "Captain, you realize the only means I have to give you the position and titles that would be your due would be through union?" I don't want any misunderstanding, complete transparency is best to ensure this agreement is honored.

Jonah BOT 15-Nov-21 12:42 PM

I look down at the girl in front of me, she really was just that a girl, "Union?" I say with a confused look, "Are you seriously considering marriage to an old pirate?" I am confused, I can not hide that in my look. I have been away from the normally life, but I know that marriage is something that is sacred to achieve with a lover, or something used by royal family for personal and empire gain. Is she using me? I wonder to myself, I am weary of this, but I look over the face of Feylin as she stands in front of me, she is nervous, it is undeniable.

Feylin Aludior BOT 15-Nov-21 01:05 PM

I keep my face neutral, using every trick taught to me by my mother to maintain the dignity befitting an empress. "I have never considered marriage for anything other polical negotiation. I think its mutually beneficial, Captain, we both stand to gain a lot from this."

Jonah BOT 15-Nov-21 01:12 PM

I look at her, trying not to show expression in my face. Marriage is not something that I take lightly, and especially now noting that she is doing it for pure political gain and nothing but. I smile at her, "Your highness," I bow again, "My wife..." I say almost quizzically. If she can play with marriage for political gain, then so can I. "Whats the next move?"

Feylin Aludior BOT 15-Nov-21 01:25 PM

my eyes widen in shock. He was accepting my offer, that was clear, which meant, as he had abruptly pointed out, that I was now betrothed. This was something that should be announced, through the proper chain of informants, to be celebrated by Kay loyalists. "Tradition would have me make this agreement official by announcing it to my...our...loyalists. but I feel that, at this time, with time in such high demand, we would be wise to delay that in favor of procuring the dowry."

Jonah BOT 15-Nov-21 01:34 PM

Not only did he lose his ship, his crew, almost everything that he owned, he was now married... He did not expect his day to go this way. He smiles at her, "To be honest, Fey," allowing himself to sink back into his cocky former demeanor, "They are your loyalists... I have no idea of Kay Empire other than the older legends and stories.

Feylin Aludior BOT 15-Nov-21 02:00 PM

"only loyalists know we still hold strong. Kay was once the most powerful empire. Loosing that dowry, and the alliance that would have made Kay an unstoppable political giant, destroyed us. But Kay Empire has always valued its people, and when we fell, our loyalists proved that its not just power or wealth that make an empire great, but the love of the people." I grin, thrilled to be able to show the captain what could be done with the "dead empire" he'd mocked not so long ago. "Come on, I'll show you how loyalists prove their love!" I hold out my hand, forgetting my transparent shirt in my excitement.

Jonah BOT 15-Nov-21 02:04 PM

I smile at her, she is definitely excited. I could feel her excitement rubbing off on me, but it has been a bad day. I can't seem to let the moments before everything went to hell stop from gathering in my mind. As I reach out and grab her hand, I am stunned as I look down and she that her perky breasts are still poking through and almost fully visible through her white shirt. "Uh, Fey," I said as she excitedly pulled me up the sandy bank of the port sea, "I know we are, uh, technically married for a couple of minutes now, but I don't think I would be a great husband letting you go into the town in a shirt showing of your, uh..." I make a motion with my hand across my chest, "They are nice and all, but maybe you don't wanna show them off to everyone."

Feylin Aludior BOT 15-Nov-21 02:28 PM

I glance down, turning red, and try to cover myself with my hands, I spot the corset and reach for it, but the leather is already shrinking and hardening. "Well now what!" I burst out, dropping the corset. I kick it into the ocean in an undignified show of frustration, let out a growl, and stomp my foot. Then, embarrassed by my loss of control, I let out an exasperated exclamation and sit in the sand, glaring at the ocean.

Jonah BOT 15-Nov-21 03:00 PM

"Here," I say, avoiding eye contact with her, as I genuinely have a hard time not looking at her, "I managed to grab some spare clothes." I reach into my pack, pulling out a dark brown button down shirt, something that I have had for agents, but found no reason to wear on the high seas for quite sometime. I smile as I hand it over, "Only the best for my queen."

Feylin Aludior BOT 15-Nov-21 03:24 PM

I let out a wry laugh, accepting the shirt gratefully. "That's, empress, actually, Captain. Kay was an empire." I start to unbutton my wet, white shirt. I drop my eyes to the beach, blushing, but I refrain from asking him to turn away. If we are to be married, he will rightfully expect to have access to my body.

Jonah BOT 15-Nov-21 03:28 PM

Noticing her blushing in the soft glow of the moonlight, I could tell she is embarrassed to undress in front of me. And who could blame her, she literally met me, no less than sixteen hours ago, but now we are married... What the hell is happening? Instead of watching as she changed, I turned my back to her and to the sea. Slight watching the boat in the distance, I am not sure what, if any, of the causalities are, but fuck if I didn't lose some of the best crew, and friends, in the entire world. This is truly a day I will never, ever forget. I drift off as I stare away.

relief is short lived when you turn around. We are to be a union, that gives him an actual right to my body, why, then, would he turn away? I change quickly, packing the white shirt away carefully before grabbing my pack. "Thank you, Captain. Let's go see some friends."

Jonah BOT 15-Nov-21 05:17 PM

I looked towards the mainland off the coast of sandy beach, and smiled towards my wife, I guess it would be fiancé now, as she eagerly moved towards the city of the coast. I was eager to find out what she mean by her friends. "Do you know where we are going?" I asked as I continued to follow the smaller empress.

Feylin Aludior BOT 15-Nov-21 05:36 PM

"I haven't been here more than a couple days, so I've only found one so far." I pull the tricorn from the hammock bundle and offer it. "See that makers mark? They very skillfully included the Kay Empire symbols. That was how I got the hat. Though I don't usually use my name to get things for myself unless I need to, that hat is needed. I would be sundeck if I don't have a hat before we get a ship." I walk through the streets of the seaside city, heading toward the tailor shop I'd found the hat in. I don't hurry, seeing no reason to rush, and contemplating the unexpected turn my mission to restore Kay Empire has taken.

Jonah BOT 15-Nov-21 05:46 PM

I listen to her story and notice the symbol. I definitely have seen this symbol in the past, I am not sure where or when, but I have seen it. Maybe once I have a moment not to feel the stress of the moment, I will be able to remember. As she continues to walk through the streets of the seaside city, he smiles as she is definitely eager and excited. During our travels, I continue to watch for guards, authorities, or anyone that may be working for the crown. They will want me. I will sacrifice myself before I let them get to her, but they have no reason to even look for her, at least known that I know. I watch as she continues to look for 'friends' as she said, noting how dirty I felt in this moment. Sandy, seasalt soaked, and tired from travel.

Feylin Aludior BOT 16-Nov-21 02:13 PM

I find the tailor from before easily. The young boy let's us in and leads us to the kitchen, where his father and older brother are just sitting down for a meal. The older brother is instantly flirtatious, eagerly hopping up from his seat to greet me with a bow, kissing my hand. Not used to such attention, I blush and smile back, flattered by his compliments. The tailor eyes you warily, but doesn't question you too much. He talks about his his late wife, and the respect she had for Kay Empire, with fondness. His tailor shop had been purchased with funds collected after she had requested the assistance of the so-called dead Empire. He was more than happy to be able to offer us a bath and a room, though space was limited, and agreed to discuss our needs further in the morning.

Jonah BOT 16-Nov-21 02:20 PM

As Feylin does the talking, I almost instantly become jealous of the older brother as he flirts with... my wife. Still shaking those words into my head, I shake it off for a moment and let them discuss what is needed. I know the father does not trust, should he have any right to do so, I am a stranger to these people and their empire. I smile as we are offered the room and bath, a bath would be magical right now. As we make it to our room and I place my stuff down for the first time in some time, I smile at Fey. "These people," I suggest, "Your people, they will willing help us get out of this town I hope?" I sit at a chair in the corner of the room, "Because I am a wanted man," I confess as if she is unaware, "They are looking for me, I don't want to anyone hurt for their help." As I sit in the chair, I can not fathom the feel of these clothes for one more moment, I begin to take my sandy, dirty clothes off. Hat is placed on the wooden night stand as my shirt is pulled over my head.

Feylin Aludior BOT 16-Nov-21 02:34 PM

my response dies on my lips as he starts undressing. Eyes wide, I watch as he takes his shirt off. If we are married, I will of course have just as much right to his body as he to mine, but truth is, I've never seen a man's body. And I don't want to turn away. Once the shirt is off, revealing the lean musculature of a sailor, the result of years of hard work, my assessment of the captain shifts. I hadn't realized I would be this drawn to the man! I stand there silently, mouth open in shock, question forgotten as I openly examine him.

Jonah BOT 16-Nov-21 02:45 PM

As I continue to dust myself, feeling my body having months of caked dirt being wiped off, I wait for the empresses next words, but yet, they seem to get stuck in the air. I look up, confused, as she is staring directly at me. Was this too much? Did I act prematurely? Or is she interested? I mean, we are in a union after all. Does she...? I stand up and stare at the princess. After this day, this stress, the loss of the ship, the changes that have occurred in the last 10 hours... I don't care anymore. I walk slowly over to the empress, "Fey," I say as I grab her chin and pull her face up to look into my eyes. Without another word, I bend down and kiss her softly on the lips, hoping to feel a reciprocation.

Feylin Aludior BOT 16-Nov-21 03:31 PM

I reach up, my hands going to either side of his face, holding him there. I don't pull away, I don't move, my mind goes blank as my body catches on fire. My first kiss feels incredible. More so, it feels right, and why shouldn't it? This man will be my husband, he's got every right to kiss me, and I have every right to be kissed by him. The strength of my reaction is startling, leaving me unable to even think. I hear a quiet sound, like a whimper, though I don't know where it came from. I don't know what to do next. Something like panic grips me. I don't want him to stop, I don't want it to end!

Jonah BOT 16-Nov-21 03:44 PM

As she grabs my face and recripicates with the emotion that I was craving from her, I smile into her kiss. As I pull away for moment, locking my eyes with her, we share a brief moment of possible understanding, and in the next, my hands grab the lower part of her ass and the upper part of her thigh, pulling her up into me into another lover like kiss. I let my tongue explore her mouth, as I moan slightly with passion. I push her body back into the far wall in the room, and push my kiss into her mouth, more aggressively than I have any one I have ever been with.

Feylin Aludior BOT 16-Nov-21 03:53 PM

I gasp, blushing as you grab my ass, then my startled exclamation is cut off by another kiss. I feel the wall at my back as your tongue violates my mouth, claiming it, creating more heat than I know what to do with. My heart races, pounding, and I can't draw breath. Your body presses against mine. I tremble, moaning into your kiss and unable to turn away. It's too much! I can't think, you don't give me a chance! I need to process what is happening, how my body is reacting. The first chance I get I gasp out, "wait!", my voice trembling, desperate.

Jonah BOT 16-Nov-21 03:59 PM

As she says wait, I feel a tinge of red begin to creep over my body, embarrassment. I let into animal instincts with this woman. I look into her eyes, almost forgetting to let her down. "I'm..." I say as I begin to let her down, helping her secure her footing, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that."

Feylin Aludior BOT 16-Nov-21 04:18 PM

my feet back on the ground, I keep my hands on him to steady myself. I pant, heart still racing, face flushed as look up at you with desire. "No, i...it wasnt...I'm sorry, I just..." I try to find the right words, certain I'm just going to make a fool of myself. "I just couldn't think, it was...so fast..."

Jonah BOT 16-Nov-21 04:31 PM

I understood her reluctances, as I have had them before this evening. I smile as I let my hand rub her cheek and put my finger over her lips, shushing as I do, "It's okay, I understand," I say as I bring my lips to her forehead, "I am sorry for that, a momentary lapse of judgement and too much eagerness on my behalf. My apologizes, empress." I smile at you softly, trying to show you through my face my understanding and no ill will. However, my mind is racing a thousand thoughts a second. I thought that was the right move, I thought she wanted that to happen. Does she not want me as a husband? Am I merely a pawn? DId she make it clear I was a pawn and I let it slip my mind. "Uh," I say, breaking the momentarily awkward silence, "I am going to go ahead and go to the bath, unless you would rather go first."

Feylin Aludior BOT 16-Nov-21 04:57 PM

there! That was the answer! Or at least, I hoped. I want to go slowly, to learn and discover. Kay Empirical family has always been known for their thinking, meticulous, thorough approach to everything, and I am no exception. Though it hasn't been practiced in a thousand years, one tradition from before the fall makes much more sense to me now. Admittedly, there had been public bathhouse then, and this ritual was never performed without an attendant from both families, but it offers a solution to my hesitation. "C-captain, we could share the bath." I stammer, then, blushing again, I speak in a rush. "Kay Empire had three rites of marriage, three rituals that were to be completed before any couple was joined in union. One of which was a shared bath, to allow them to learn about one another before their wedding, so that they would not be strangers when they met on their wedding night. It was called the preconsumate ritual, and was done with attendants present, and the water would be blessed, but..." I trail off, blushing almost as red as when I'd gone to town in my underwear.

Jonah BOT 16-Nov-21 05:08 PM

"Oh," I say with surprise, as I continue to learn more and more about Fey, "Would this be okay for your rituals?" I ask this question, trying to learn more. There was no way that the bath could be 'blessed' per say and the bath house of a simple tailor in this seaside town would not be the traditional way. No attendants. "Fey," I spoke to her as a husband would speak to a wife, "I am ready for this life with you, but please, you have to let me know what you want here because I am as unsure of the next moment as I am of the next day right now."

Feylin Aludior BOT 16-Nov-21 06:34 PM

with a deep sigh, I sit down on the edge of the large wooden tub, fold my hands in my lap, and for a moment try to embody the dignity of an empress. "You're unsure?" I say with a light laugh, "I have just promised myself in marriage to a pirate captain I hardly know, in the hopes of procuring a ship and crew in time to get through a mysterious gateway to Gods know where, to retrieve the dowry that was stolen from my ancestors a thousand years ago and caused the downfall of what was then the greatest empire of all time." I open my eyes and study you, then sigh once again. "And...I'm tired of doing it alone. This is a chance for Kay Empire to return. Do you realize how incredible it is that the people have held together this long? That Kay families still connect, and support, and help each other? This tailor, his wife was the one with Kay blood, and she went to Kay for help purchasing this shop. That's why her son's and her husband are loyal to Kay. The people have supported and uplifted one another for a thousand years! These are the people I am responsible for!" "These are the people who raised me, provided for me, trained me, my whole life. It was decided that the remnants of Kay leadership would be held to tradition and law of the empire. We are forbidden from working, but encouraged to study trades. We have no home, but call any home bearing the mark of Kay ours.

Feylin Aludior BOT 16-Nov-21 06:43 PM

"my parents died just a few years ago, when the pandemic hit the northern range. I am the last one left of the Empiricale bloodline. This gate reappearing, this is the last hope of Kay Empire. There is no way we can continue for another thousand years! And If another empire were to reach the dowry first..." I trail off, falling quiet for a moment. "This is my intent. I will speak to the tailor in the morning. I don't see how a port city this size wouldn't have citizens somewhere in the production and sale of ships. This will be huge...the largest request made of my citizens in so many generations...but I think they will understand. With the gate open, we must act quickly. We can't let this chance pass by, not without loosing the only hope we've had...ever." "What I want is to restore my people to their home. You can help me with that, Captain." I finish and look up at you, empiracle dignity slipping as I bite my lip nervously, waiting for your response.

Jonah BOT 17-Nov-21 10:12 AM

I wain and sit as a listen to her, waiting until she was done. I smirk, almost to myself, she is damn sure passionate about her legacy and her empire. I don't know why, but this only makes me more attracted to her and want to help her more. I have everything to gain in this situation, but in the same sense, I have already lost everything to my name, so nothing to lose indeed. I almost felt helpless in this moment, she was my only way out of this situation that I have found myself in. "Jonah," I say with an almost tremble in my voice, I am nervous, unsure, but after that speech, almost willing to follow her to my death, "Please call me Jonah, Feylin." I look into Feylin's eyes, smiling at her softly. I walk over to the edge of the bath with her, still wearing just my pants and boots. I look off into the distance, questioning, "Do you think your empire's traditions and rutuals would allow us to even wed? I have no connection to your empire and I have nothing to offer at the moment, but my knowledge of a ship."

Feylin Aludior BOT 17-Nov-21 12:16 PM

"there's nothing in Kay law dictating who I may or may not wed." I say, looking up at you. I swallow, my eyes landing on your lips as your gaze is elsewhere. I wonder if I have the nerve to ask you to let me taste them again, or if you'd even want to. If you even want to continue with our agreement, or if I will find myself, come morning, in an empty room. "What you have to offer is exactly what I need, cap-!...Jonah. I could have all the ships in port right now and be no closer to the gate."

Jonah BOT 17-Nov-21 12:28 PM

I sit down next to the empress, my bride, on the side of the bathtub. I look down in the ground, lost in thought for several moments. It finally hits my mind that I need to say something before she think something terrible, "If it is your will," I say with a smirk as I move my gaze from the ground to meet her eyes, "Then, it is my mission, Feylin." I reach my hand up, stroking her cheek softly before cupping it with my hand, smiling at her as I watch her motions intently.

Feylin Aludior BOT 17-Nov-21 12:58 PM

I close my eyes as I release a breath I hadn't realized I was holding, leaning toward his touch. The weight off my shoulders is enough to stagger me. I'm not doing this alone! Jonah knows about ships, sailing, knows how to do all the things that were all the reasons my plan was never going to work! And right now, as he touches my cheek and takes this burden I carry onto his own shoulders, too, I feel like I could weep for joy. I lay my own hand over his, smiling softly. "Thank you, Jonah, thank you so much. I can't tell you how much this means to me, how grateful I am to have you at my side." I almost whisper the words, pressing his hand to my cheek.

Jonah BOT 17-Nov-21 01:09 PM

I smile as her hand meets mine and then her hand meets my chest. A calm rushes over me suddenly, a weight lifted, but another weight secured. She needed me as much as I needed her in this moment. I could finally feel her smile for once, which might be the first genuine smile I have seen from Fey since we first met. As I smile, I lean in softly, kissing her softly on her exposed cheek. We sit on the edge of the tub, I can feel the heat of a freshly prepared bath at my back, I almost relax into it. "Thank you for finding me," I say with a soft smirk, "You are gonna need someone to protect you when your stubbornness get in the way of logical side." I joke with her, hoping she can take the joke in her stressful mission she carries.

Feylin Aludior BOT 18-Nov-21 11:39 AM

I guess I needed to find you. For more than what I thought." I blush lightly at the kiss, but turn toward you. "Captain theres something I've been wondering..." I pause, averting my eyes nervously, and fidget with the edge of the tub. Finally, I look at you again. "Uh, see... I'm... I'm 19 years old." My eyes meet yours again, defiantly, as if daring you to tell me I'm to young to do anything I've set my mind to.

Jonah BOT 18-Nov-21 02:21 PM

I smiled at her, watching as she became finnicky again. She was very cute when she was stressed, I would have to admit to myself. As she admitted to me her age, I was shocked. She really didn't seem that young to me, she was very wise beyond her years. "Wow," I blurt out, "I didn't know you were that young. You are honestly wise beyond your years. I just wish I was half as dedicated to a cause as you are now." I let a moment pass between the two of us, "I'm either 28 or 29." I admit to Fey, "I don't really know when my birthday was. My birth year, I know, but the orphanage I came from used to use the day you were dropped off as the birthdate, but I was between 6 to 7 months old when I was given to the orphanage." I trail off as I believe I am rambling, "But, you were wondering something? That had to do with you being 19?"

Feylin Aludior BOT 18-Nov-21 02:42 PM

I blink with surprise, quickly covered with my dignified affectation. "I just wondered how old you were. I...it's not a problem, or anything, I mean, it's not uncommon for political unions to have an age gap..." I stop talking, dignity forgotten as I blush and look away.

Jonah BOT 18-Nov-21 02:57 PM

I sit and stare at the wood floor of the room as I think to myself for a moment. Do I really look that young? Did she believe I was that young? I sigh slightly as I look back at her, "Well, wife," I say with a smirk, "You mentioned bathing being a tradition with your empire, but you also mentioned that we would have to have the water blessed and attendants present as well? Would us bathing together now go against that ritual?"

Feylin Aludior BOT 18-Nov-21 03:40 PM

my eyes widen, my heart jumps, and I feel apprehensive anticipation build. "I think exceptions can be made, given the circumstances. I trust you, cap...Jonah. I think it will be sufficient." I stand from the tub, keeping my eyes on him. "Since you've already begun to undress, i...I should finish undressing you." My heart beats frantically in my chest as I blush. My hands flutter over my stomach, mimicking the sensation in my stomach.

Jonah BOT 18-Nov-21 03:54 PM

My eyes widen at this comment. It takes me a couple of moments to react to the comment because I honestly didn't know how to react. It almost felt as if my body was in an automated mode as I stood and walked to Feylin. Looking down to the girl in front of me, I lean down and kiss her on her forehead softly. I ask for her hand as I pull her to a standing position in front of me and let her continue with the procedure.

Feylin Aludior BOT 18-Nov-21 04:06 PM

I take a deep breath, meeting your gaze, then my eyes slowly travel down your shirtless body. I place my hands on your lower stomach lightly, barely breathing, and slide them together over the waist of your pants. They start to tremble as I pull the knot out of the drawstring. It's caked with salt, stiff, put pulls fairly easily. I can, of course, see the slight bulge at your crotch. I hold my breath, then carefully slip my hands under the waistband on either side of you. I blush profusely as I push them down over your hips and kneel to pull them off your feet, putting myself face to face with a cock for the first time. I can't help but stare, then my eyes dart up to meet yours. I put my hand on your thigh to steady myself as I stand again. "Now its...now you...I mean..." I stop, looking flustered and embarassed.

Jonah BOT 18-Nov-21 04:22 PM

I can feel her body turning red, this is definitely not something she has done before and why should she have, she is just a kid still. However, the sight of her with her hands on my waistband excited me to no end. I could feel my cock stiffening as she pulled my trousers down. Kneeling down, I did catch her momentary stare as she came face to face with my cock. I smiled an almost embarassed smile. I choose to remain wordless during this, however, I could feel my cock beginning to grow harder and harder and sweat beginning to cover my body. As she begins to look flustered and embarassed, I take her chin in my hand, delivering a soft kiss to her lips almost as a symbol, telling her, "its okay, I will take over from her," I reach to her shirt, while it did have buttons, was big enough on her to just be pulled over her head. As I reach and grasp the bottom of the shirt, I gentle begin to pull upwards. As the shirt comes over her head, it blinds me momentarily, but as I put it away, I catch the first glimpse of her completely knew upper body. Her small perky breast with nipples hardening were definitely arousing to me, I could feel myself growing harder, almost to the point where my cock was pointing directly up. I allow myself to ease closer to her. As I get as close as I need to allow my hand to grab the drawstring of her pants, I can feel my now erect cock graze her. I look down to her, to see if she is offended or how she feels. I grab the waist band of her pants and kneel down as I pull her pants free and allow her to step out of them with my help. I glance as I go to stand again, seeing a trim line of pubic hair, pointing in the direction of her pussy. He stood with no assistance. He looked down at her with passion in his eyes as he sees her naked form in front of him.

Feylin Aludior BOT 18-Nov-21 04:28 PM

I watch quietly, lips parted as I pant slightly. This was more exciting that I'd thought it would be. My hands shake as I place them on his chest, feeling his warmth, his heart racing as fast as mine. "Now we wash each other." I say, looking up and meeting his gaze. I step closer, his erect cock hot against my lower stomach. Breathlessly, I go up on my toes and press my lips to his, leaning against him.

Jonah BOT 18-Nov-21 04:39 PM

Her kiss was all I craved in that moment and her she was providing it to me. I was ecstatic in that moment, and I pushed into her kiss as she allowed me to taste her lips. I will not pull away as long as she lets me. I part my lips ever so slightly, teasing her lips with my tongue.

Feylin Aludior BOT 18-Nov-21 04:43 PM

I inhale sharply as his tongue tastes my lips, my own lips parting. I tentatively probe with my own tongue, closing my eyes and gradually relaxing against him. My hands slip up, over his shoulder, leaving my body pressed against his. I can feel his cock pressing against me, hot, throbbing occasionally as I get more bold. I slip my tongue past his lips, exploring his mouth.

Jonah BOT 18-Nov-21 04:47 PM

Feeling her tongue meet mine in the middle of the kiss left me breathless in the moment, but smiling. I push further, allowing my hands to move from her side as I held her into me, down to her hips, massaging very gentle as she kisses me. I can feel my cock throbbing, needing attention, but in the moment, I am lost in her kiss. Allowing her to lead as she felt fit. She is the empress and her word is law, I joking think to myself.

Feylin Aludior BOT 18-Nov-21 04:56 PM

his hands on my body ignites my core, eliciting a quiet whimper. I lift my foot to step closer, but can't. Instead I step wider. I want more, more of his touch, his kiss, this closeness. I know I should stop, but the taste of him is like fire burning through me. I move my hands over his skin, feeling grit and salt. I step back suddenly, gasping. I only back away far enough to break the kiss. My hands shake, and my voice trembles when I speak. "The bath will get cold." I say, but make no move toward the tub. I look up and meet his eyes, seeing the same need I feel, the same urgency and longing.

Jonah BOT 18-Nov-21 05:04 PM

"It sure will," I say as I look at her, "Let me help you." I reach a hand out to Feylin, offering her a hand so she can step into the bath. I smile at her as I do this as I lean down and whisper in your ear, "It will be nice to have my hands all over your body make sure you are nice and clean."

Feylin Aludior BOT 18-Nov-21 05:10 PM

a moan slips out at his words, I pause, perched on the edge of the tub, turning toward him with my eyes wide with shock. I tremble all over, a flush warms my skin. "I..." I try to speak but my voice fails. I look up at you, trying to think, or act, or speak, but all I can think is how your hands will feel on my body, and how slick my thighs are before I'm even in the water.

Jonah BOT 18-Nov-21 05:19 PM

As she begins to descend into the bathtub, I help her sit. The tub was not as deep as previously thought, only covering up to her the waist of Feylin as she sat in the tub. Not a lot of room, either. I smile as she sits down. I stay on the side of the tub for just a moment as she sits in the bathtub. Leaning in, a take a handful of water, it is still very warm to the touch, but not as hot as it was previously. I allow my water filled hand graze her shoulder closest to me, allowing the water to rush down as I gentle massage her neck and shoulder. I continue to move around behind Feylin, doing the same with my other hand on her other neck and shoulder. As my hands massage her neck and shoulders gently, I allow my hands to move to her chest. Rubbing my hands across her chest and down to her breasts, massaging slightly as I continue to scrub the water in. As I move closer to push down her chest, I can feel my cock rub across the middle of her back, causing it to throb and jump.

Feylin Aludior BOT 18-Nov-21 05:27 PM

I close my eyes, lips open, panting still. Small gasps as your hands massage my breasts, my own hands flying to yours, pressing your hands against my breast. I feel your cock against my back, seeming even warmer now than before. "J-jonah?" I whisper, my eyes opening as I tip my head back. I reach up with one hand to pull you toward me, wanting to kiss you again.

Jonah BOT 18-Nov-21 05:34 PM

Kissing her was easy enough as he head turned up. I continue to massage her chest, paying particular attention to her nipples, massaging them in between the tips of my fingers softly as I cup her breasts. I let my tongue dive into her mouth softly again as maneuver again, this time turning to her opposite side, allowing my face to pull to the same direction. I pull away for a slight moment, allowing my hands to linger for just a moment longer before walking to the opposite end of the tub. As I sit down, the water doesn't seem to cover my hips completely, leaving my cock exposed as it stands up, laying against my stomach. I look across the tub at her, smile invitingly.

Feylin Aludior BOT 18-Nov-21 05:45 PM

I move onto my knees, blushing, and move over his legs, my knees going wide. I blush profusely at the indecent position of our bodies as I make my way close enough to sluice the water over his shoulders. My whole body trembles, aching for...more. I try to focus on what I'm doing. Watching my hands glide over his skin, the water rinsing away grit. I move lower on his body, to the surface of the water, before I stop, staring at his cock, hands still on his hips. "It got so much bigger!" I whisper. My eyes dart back to his face.

Jonah BOT 18-Nov-21 05:57 PM

I giggle slightly as I smile at her, "It is much bigger," I whisper back to her, "I am not sure you could make it any bigger." I let my hands fall to the sides of the tub and into the water. I am watching her naked body intently, trying to move with every movement she makes. I smile as her hands remain on my hips.

Feylin Aludior BOT 18-Nov-21 06:04 PM

I let my eyes move down his body slowly again, then move closer to him, my hands sliding up to his chest as I lean forward. I slip, suddenly finding myself exactly where I'd intended to be, pressed against him, his cock pressed tightly between our our wet bodies. I don't let myself think, for once I don't want to think. I kiss him again, letting my tongue freely explore his mouth, feeling his cock twitch and throb between us. I press against him, my breasts crushed against his chest. It feels incredible, just being this close. I tasting him, feeling him against me.

Jonah BOT 18-Nov-21 06:11 PM

As she slipped, I wrap my arms around her, holding her as she gains her balance. I feel her almost lunge into my lips, placing a very passionate kiss upon them. I smile in her kiss and loving embrace. Feeling her perky breasts and erect nipples pushing into me, I felt my cock continue to throb. He needed to have it touched. "Fey," I moaned as we broke momentarily from the kiss, "I need you."

Feylin Aludior BOT 18-Nov-21 06:22 PM

I look from his eyes to his lips, and back. Carefully, I push against the tub to sit up in his lap, my eyes drinking in the impressive erection. I look back up at you, biting my lip. "The waters getting cold." I point out, "we should get out before our host offers to bring more." I don't want to admit that I don't know what I'm doing. I'm certain you already know this, but saying it seems somehow more intimate. I know he's been with women, he had women's clothing in his cabin. He's a pirate. But admitting I've never been with a man is more difficult than I thought. I slowly, awkwardly, get out of the tub and grab one of the towels left for us by the door, then turn back to you. "I should dry you,"

Jonah BOT 18-Nov-21 06:29 PM

I feel slightly deflated for a moment as she pulls away, unaware of what she is doing. As she states the water is getting cold, I assume she has changed her mind. I feel disappointment in the moment, but as she begins to get out, I offer assistance as I can, but she gets out with no issue. While she grabs a towel, I stand out of the tub, allowing myself to drip in the tub for a moment before stepping out. Still fully erect, I go to hide myself, but you comment of drying me makes me smirk. I let my hands fall to my side and wait for your next movement.

Feylin Aludior BOT 18-Nov-21 06:39 PM

I come close with the towel and begin drying you, starting at the top and working my way down. I avoid your cock, kneeling down to dry each leg before returning my attention to your center. I carefully towel everything off, kneeling in front of you, blushing profusely.

Jonah BOT 18-Nov-21 06:43 PM

I stare at her as she continues to dry me, but I feel myself deflate even more as she does not come near my cock. I can feel myself going soft just a little bit. I am no longer sticking out, I am retaining my size, but my cock is pointing towards the floor. I am slightly embarrassed again. I noticed that she is remaining in front of me, "Fey," I ask with slight confusion, "What are you...?"

Feylin Aludior BOT 18-Nov-21 06:48 PM

I close my eyes and sigh, then lay the towel across my legs and turn my hands palm up. "I...I want you Jonah. I dont...know what to do. I've never been with a man, I don't know how to...I don't know what I want to do. I need you to...show me." I look up, expecting you to laugh at me, or smirk. Or not want me anymore.

Jonah BOT 18-Nov-21 06:51 PM

I smile at her, she wasn't wanting to reject me or not wanting this, she just didn't know what to do. I lean down to her level, I smile again as I grab her chin and give her a soft kiss before leaning into her ear, I purr at her, "My empress, I will show you how to please your husband." I stand back up, grabbing her hand as I do. I bring her hand to my cock. Wrapping her hand around my cock, I wrap my hand around hers and help her to begin to stroke it. "Just like this, my empress.

Feylin Aludior BOT 18-Nov-21 06:58 PM

I watch your hand wrap mine around your cock, eyes wide, then look up to see your face. Encouraged, I continue stroking, even when you take your hand away. I explore the shape and texture, letting my fingers pass over the ridge and slide to the base of your shaft. I try different pressures, and turning my hand different angles. Your cock grows more erect, encouraging me further to bring my other hand to help. I bite my lip and cup your balls, exploring the texture and weight with my fingetips.

Jonah BOT 18-Nov-21 07:02 PM

As you continue to practice on my cock, learning everything you might want to know, I am in a blissful position. I had ached for your touch since we had began this dance, and now, the moment had finally arrived. I smiled as you experimented. After a few moments, I look down at you smiling, with my cock still in your hand, kissing you on the forehead, "Let's go to the bed," I say with a comforting tone, "I want to show you how I can pleasure you as well.

Feylin Aludior BOT 18-Nov-21 07:09 PM

I whimper, looking up at you, reluctant to release your cock. I stand and wrap the towel around myself, then slip my hand in yours before we quickly cross the hall to the guest room. I look at the bed, biting my lip, and look back to you. My face heats up as I blush. My heart races. I let the towel fall to the floor and look up at you. "Show me, Jonah, I want you to teach me how to please my husband. I need you."

Jonah BOT 18-Nov-21 07:17 PM

I smile as we cross the hallway, like two children running away after making a bad decision, And as we enter the room, I watch as you drop your towel again. Taking in your naked body, I smile again and pull myself to you again. As our bodies come together again, I lift you as I did in our first embrace, your slightly wet body pushing up against me as I kiss you hard and deeply. I carry you to the bed, I am gonna regret this, but I place your slightly damp body down on our bed for the night. I smile at you as I pull away from the kiss. Leaning into your ear, I whisper softly, "I am gonna show you how to pleasurable I can be." As I kiss softly on the lips, then on the neck, following down from your neck to your collarbone. As I continue to move further and further down your body, I stop at your chest, finding myself kissing and swirling my tongue around both of your nipples. Moaning softly to my self, I continue to kiss down your stomach, stopping at your pelvic line. As I kiss your pelvic lining, I let my tongue move out and make slight contact with your pubic hair, teasing you slightly.

Feylin Aludior BOT 18-Nov-21 07:20 PM

my hips thrust toward you as I grab the blanket, gasping. "Jonah!" I exclaim, hardly a whisper. My legs part around you, I push up on my elbows to watch you, I fall back to the bed as your tongue touches me, trying to hold back my moan.

Jonah BOT 18-Nov-21 07:33 PM

I giggle as you buck into me. My tongue continues to circle for a moment, before I push for my head down just an inch lower. I allow my tongue navigate to the bottom of your slit, gently making myself familiar with your pussy. My tongue continues to move up your slit to get a taste of you.

Feylin Aludior BOT 18-Nov-21 07:35 PM

"oh God, th-that feels incredible!" I gasp, my hands moving to your head, fingers curling into your hair.

Jonah BOT 18-Nov-21 07:42 PM

I truly am your first, this turns me on even more, my cock throbbing as I continue to use my tongue to make you wetter and wetter. "Do you like that, my empress?" I smile as I let your juices flow onto my tongue. You taste extremely sweet and I craved more from you. I let my tongue glide over your pussy one more time as I navigate to your clit. I give it a soft lick before sucking onto it gently.

Feylin Aludior BOT 18-Nov-21 07:44 PM

"yes!" I cry out, arching deeply as your lips seal on my clit, leaving me breathless

Jonah BOT 18-Nov-21 07:47 PM

my tongue continues to rub in your clit as it is being sucked in. I watch as you arch your back, bucking your hips into me. I moan softly at your response. I pull back for a moment to reposition my tongue, this time pushing inside of you as deeply as possible.

Feylin Aludior BOT 18-Nov-21 07:51 PM

I gasp, gripping your hair tighter with shaking hands. My legs spread wider, eyes closed tight as I press back into the mattress, hips rising to press into you. "Jonah, I need you!" I moan, aching for more

Jonah BOT 18-Nov-21 07:54 PM

In this moment of passion, I can't take anymore. I have to be inside you, I have to fill your warmth. I pull away as I look at you," Stand up," I demand, "and bend over the bed."

Feylin Aludior BOT 18-Nov-21 07:57 PM

shocked by the sudden loss of stimulation, I whimper, nodding, and slip off the bed. I turn. Watching over my shoulder as I lower my chest to the bed, legs spread wide, fully exposed to you.

Jonah BOT 18-Nov-21 08:00 PM

As you bend over the bed, exposing yourself to me again, I moan as I position myself behind you. Taking my cock in my hand, I slowly bring it your slit. Teasing you slightly with the head of my dick on your clit.

Feylin Aludior BOT 18-Nov-21 08:01 PM

my hips rock, rubbing my wet slit over your cock, eliciting more moans

Jonah BOT 19-Nov-21 07:53 PM

Your hip rocking into mine, I feel your wetness all on the tip of my cock. I slowly begin to push my head into you, going slowly. As you have said that you have never been with someone before, caution eased into my mind as I push into you.

Feylin Aludior BOT 19-Nov-21 07:59 PM

I tense, feeling you open me slowly. I grab onto the bed, more nervous than I thought I would be. I gasp as you enter me, shuddering once, then look back at you, questioning. "It doesn't hurt, I thought it was supposed to hurt?" I ask, hands trembling still.

Jonah BOT 19-Nov-21 08:07 PM

I tense as you tense. I can almost feel it in the walls of your pussy. I have barely pushed into you as I smile down. "I am not in all the way, Fey," I say as I look down at you, "It may hurt, it may not. We will see once I am in fully. You are really tight, empress." I continue to push in softly and slowly.

Feylin Aludior BOT 19-Nov-21 08:11 PM

I blush, then close my eyes. Immediately sensation becomes more powerful. I gasp, but don't open my eyes. I can feel every movement inside of me, every throb or twitch of your cock. I groan, wanting more, and push back against you just a bit, gasping again at the full, stretched feeling.

Jonah BOT 19-Nov-21 08:14 PM

I continue to push, slowing slightly with every moment of arch or jump to make sure you are adjusting okay. I am not sure if I have hit a wall for you or if you even had a wall, but the moment that my hips me yours. I sit for a moment. I watch your body intently as I ease back and allow my cock to slide out, pushing back slowly, finding less resistance. As I continue to do this, with each stroke, I find less resistance.

Feylin Aludior BOT 19-Nov-21 08:23 PM

"Jona-ah!" I gasp, your slow thrusts causing overwhelming sensation to erupt inside of me. I tense, my core pulling tight, walls clenching around your cock, and cry out with surprise at the change in my body's response. I grip the covers, cringing away for a moment, whimpering. "Oh gods it feels good!" I finally breathe, panting. I begin to move with you, pushing back at each thrust.

Jonah BOT 20-Nov-21 06:03 PM

I smile as I can see that you are truly beginning to enjoy yourself. I rock with you on every stroke, making sure to keep a steady rhythm and pace with you. The tightness engulfing my cock makes it hard to keep that slow pace, but I maintain, waiting for instructions. It is your first time, you make the calls. I do giggle as I mention, "Fey," trying to grab your attention, "the tailor and his kids are in the house as well."

"I know!!" I whimper quietly, pressing my face to the bed to try and muffle my quiet mews as you thrust into me. My body rocks faster with yours, gradually picking up speed while I try not to make a sound. I grab the pillow off the bed and bury my face into it, wrapping my arms around it tight.

Jonah BOT 20-Nov-21 06:11 PM

I smile and can't help by laugh to myself as you put a pillow over your face. It is something that I have honestly done myself before to keep quiet. As we continue to rock in motion, faster and faster, I feel my cock throbbing and pulsing with every push. I am getting close to climax. But, I feel the need to make sure it is good, "Do you feel good, my empress?"

Feylin Aludior BOT 20-Nov-21 06:17 PM

I pull away from the pillow, trying to keep my voice at a whisper. "F-faster, Jonah!" I moan. I brace against the mattress, pushing back onto your cock. As you thrust deep I cry out, to slow to hide it into the pillow. I writhe as an intense pressure and tension build.

Deleted User 20-Nov-21 06:21 PM

Jh:"As I watch your body buck and move at the moment of my hypes, I follow your command and quicken my pace. Pushing back into me and my hips moving into you, there is a low and intense smacking heard as my hips meet yours. Throbbing of my cock intensifies and I know that I might not be going very much longer. "I'm gonna cum," I alert you, as I continue to pound into you as hard and fast as possible." (edited)

Feylin Aludior BOT 20-Nov-21 07:51 PM

I hug the pillow once again, moaning into it as my back arches and tension builds. You tell me you're going to cum, and like elastic the tension is released- I cry out into the pillow as I shake, all semblance of control lost.

Jonah BOT 21-Nov-21 08:17 AM

As I feel you shake and hear the muffled cry into the pillow, I can't hold myself back anymore. With several hard strokes, the sound of skin on skin impact feeling the room, I moan loudly, giving out a primal growl as I release inside of you. No thoughts in that moment, just pushing through and letting myself feel the bliss of the moment. I moan and twitch with every rope of cum that shots inside of you, stopping momentarily after the climax wains. I look down at you, looking for any sign of response.

Feylin Aludior BOT 21-Nov-21 08:27 AM

"Jonah, Jonah!" I whisper, trembling still. I reach back for you, feeling vulnerable and needing you at that moment. When you stop I whimper quietly, catching my breath. "Jonah, you feel incredible!"

Jonah BOT 21-Nov-21 08:31 AM

I smile at you as you tell me that you need me, I truly need you in this moment. I am ready to do anything needed for you at this point. I would go to war for you, which I guess will be needed. After I stop, her telling me I feel incredible, I lean down into her ear, "Do my empress finish?"

reddeR 21-Nov-21 04:01 PM

Fa:"I open my eyes, looking at you with wide eyes. "Did i...?" I blush, panting as I hesitate." (edited)

Jonah BOT 21-Nov-21 04:18 PM

I smile as I look over at you, "Did you finish?" I wasn't even sure you know what I was mentioning toward, but I held my cock in you for a few moments, waiting for your answer. "Do you need me to keep going?"

Feylin Aludior BOT 21-Nov-21 04:29 PM

"yes!" I say without hesitation, blushing as I say it and hiding into the pillow. "More!" I pleade, voice muffled into the pillow.

Jonah BOT 21-Nov-21 04:41 PM

"I don't think I can keep going right now," I say almost disappointedly, "But, I can make sure you feel good." As I stroke just a few more times, letting you feel me in you for a few more moments, I pull out. As I pull out, I grasp my hands around her legs, pulling her closer to the edge of the bed. I bend down and get on knees in front of her, coming down to her pussy.

Feylin Aludior BOT 21-Nov-21 04:54 PM

I gasp as you lower to my pussy, eyes wide. My feet plant firmly to the floor as I grip the covers.

Jonah BOT 21-Nov-21 04:59 PM

I slowly lower my mouth to your pussy. Smiling as I let my tongue escape my mouth. I quickly and immediately begin sliding my tongue up and down your slit. Teasing you as I watch for your reactions. "Such a good empress," I moan softly as I pull away for a mere moment, but continue.

Feylin Aludior BOT 21-Nov-21 05:13 PM

"Jonah, that feels so good!" I moan quietly, my breathing becoming more frantic and erattic. I can't stop my quiet cries as you stimulate me. I press into the pillow, trying to stay quiet, slowly making more and more noise as I writhe under you.

Jonah BOT 21-Nov-21 05:16 PM

Watching your movements as you buck under me, I continue to let my tongue swirl around her slit. I stop momentarily, letting my tongue make contact with your clit, making small circles around it and liking from hood to tip. As I focus on your clit, I move my hand to your thigh, slowly letting it glide up your leg and to your slit. I push my fingers into you. I can feel my juices and your juices mixed as I push in my index and middle finger.

Feylin Aludior BOT 21-Nov-21 05:19 PM

I go rigid as your fingers enter me. My back arches deeply and I gasp, feeling the pressure from your fingers

I cry out, arching against your hand and gasping as your fingers find sensitive places. I moan, feeling tension build rapidly

Jonah BOT 21-Nov-21 05:28 PM

I continue to watch your body as you ride the waves of passion at my hands. I smile as you cry out again, I love making you squeal. I can't wait for you to be as loud as possible when we are alone. I push my fingers in and out slowly, with a rolling motion pushing up on the top of your pussy's walls as my tongue continues to slowly circle and stroke along your clit.

Feylin Aludior BOT 21-Nov-21 05:31 PM

I grow more tense, clutching the pillow as I'm overwhelmed by a tide of sensation. I don't hear myself making sound as my whole body spasms and all tension is released. My pussy gushes on your fingers, clenching tight as I cum.

Jonah BOT 21-Nov-21 05:40 PM

Feeling you cum, the tension around my fingers, growing more, I keep the steady path to allow you to get to full completion. "Fey?" I ask almost breathless as my tongue feels sore in the moment.

Feylin Aludior BOT 21-Nov-21 05:55 PM

"jonah!" I raise my head, gasping and reaching for your hand, trying to stop your motion. "Stop, please, stop now!" I twitch at the overstimulation, gasping from aftershocks

Jonah BOT 21-Nov-21 06:02 PM

I immediately stop whenever you say stop. Exhausted in that moment, I fall back on my heels, completely naked. Taking deep breathes, I look up for your eyes and try to meet your gaze. "We might need another bath..."

Feylin Aludior BOT 21-Nov-21 06:04 PM

I pull myself up onto the bed and hold my hand out to you, wanting you close to me. "Jonah, come up here, please?" I ask, eyes not leaving you for a moment.

Jonah BOT 21-Nov-21 06:07 PM

I take your hand, using a lot of my own leverage to stand up and fall into the bed with you, smiling as I met your eye. "Yes, Fey," I say as I lay beside you, allowing my hand to rest on your stomach, making tiny circles with my hand.

Feylin Aludior BOT 21-Nov-21 06:11 PM

I move close to you, trying to tuck myself comfortably against you. You can tell that this, too, is something I haven't done before.

Jonah BOT 21-Nov-21 06:35 PM

I giggle as you look like a rabbit trying to burrow into a hole. I allow myself to pull the blankets below us loose and manuever our bodies under them, tucking you in slightly as I did. As I make my way under the cover with you, I let my arms scoot under your head, and around your waist. Pulling you in from the waist, I pull your body into me, cuddling you nicely.

Feylin Aludior BOT 21-Nov-21 07:12 PM

eyes wide as you pull me close and hold me to you, I take a while to close my eyes and sleep. I keep thinking of what we agreed upon, wondering if I'm really doing what I need to do for Kay Empire. But your warm body and deep, even breathing soon luls me into a more relaxed state of mind. I lay my own arm along yours and slip my fingers through your fingers, carefully not disturbing you. I drift to sleep finally.

Jonah BOT 22-Nov-21 03:47 AM

I continue to watch you get comfortable and fall asleep. As you fall asleep, I let my hand slide out from under her head and my hand move from your waist. Letting you drift off into a comfortable sleep. I sit up on the side of the bed. Staring at the wall in the darkness of the room, I let my mind drift back to the memories of today. A whirlwind of a day indeed, some very strange and almost unbelievable series of events had occurred. I started today as a high seas pirate, with a crew of 20 loyal men. I ended the day as the husband to the empress of the Kay Empire, captain of her Royal Navy with no ship, and no idea of the future that I have. I am unsure of what to make of it. I stand from the bed, making my way to the bathtub across the hall. The water still in place from our earlier bath, but it has gone room temparture. No matter, I take a small cloth from the counter, running it through the water and wipe my body down. Getting any sweat, salt, or dirt that might remain. Drying myself with the towel that is present, I continue back to the room, silently sitting on the edge of the bed for a few moments before returning to your side.

Feylin Aludior BOT 22-Nov-21 04:35 AM

i wake up and stretch, wincing at the warm soreness between my thighs. I feel Jonah beside me, his warm body rising and falling with his gentle breathing. After laying there for a while, marveling at the strangeness of waking up in a man's arms, I slip out of bed and cross the hall. The tub is drained, and two buckets of steaming water sit inside the tub. I help myself to one bucket, cleaning myself carefully as I discover just how sore I am. My own gentle stimulation as I wash myself makes me think of Jonah again, and I blush at my thoughts. I quickly finish cleaning up. I have enough water left to wash my hair, which is a pleasant surprise. I head out of the bathroom, thinking I'd go wake up Jonah with a kiss. The Taylor's oldest son is in the hallway when I open the bathroom door. He hungrily eyes my still-naked body, making me cringe, inwardly. Outwardly I instantly assume the mask of dignity that I've never been so grateful for. "Empress!" He exclaims, "so sorry! I didn't mean to catch you indisposed!" His eyes never leave me, and he doesn't have the decency to turn away. Anger flares up in me. "My da wanted to let you know he will be more than happy to provide you and your...friend there some new attire. He's already up, said to let you know to meet him in his workshop." He doesn't move, as if unaware that he is blocking the door. I realize he is perfectly aware when he braces his arm on the doorframe, cutting off any path I could have used to get around him, and preventing me from closing the door again.

Jonah BOT 22-Nov-21 08:52 AM

After a very rough night of tossing and turning, I finally find myself waking up as the sun hits my eyes through the crack of the wooden house. As I wake up, I do not feel or see you near me, a momentary panic sets in until I can hear conversation in the room. "Fey?" I ask to the open air, "Everything alright?"

Feylin Aludior BOT 22-Nov-21 09:08 AM

at your question he backs up, then turns an dissapears down the hall. I immediately cross the hall, burst through the door, and run to you, all semblance of dignity forgotten as I tuck into you, pressing against you, trembling with adrenalin, shame, and fear.

Jonah BOT 22-Nov-21 09:24 AM

I can feel an issue as you climb into bed, almost silently. "Fey?" I ask again as let my hand find your hip, "What happened?"

Feylin Aludior BOT 22-Nov-21 10:28 AM

"nothing happened, Jonah. Thank you." I grab onto you and sigh as I lay against you. My fear melts away like it wasn't ever there. My hands stop shaking. I look up at you with wonder. I don't know how, but you feel safe. I don't remember ever feeling it before.

Jonah BOT 22-Nov-21 11:20 AM

As you assure me that nothing happened and we are okay, I lay back down, letting my arms wrap around you again, pulling you in tightly. Our naked forms enveloping each other. I smile as I tend to lay here as long as you want.

Feylin Aludior BOT 22-Nov-21 11:42 AM

as you hold me, I question why I didn't tell you what happened. I'm used to dealing with things on my own, and we are hopefully going to be out of here by tonight. It shouldn't be a problem. Except I feel guilty. Isn't that the sort of thing my husband would want to know about? But what would he do, if he knew? Surely it would only make problems? Uneasy, I sit up and let my hand slide down your chest, to rest on your lower stomach, just above your public line. My eyes wander lower, and I blush at the thoughts that come to mind. "Oh! The tailor has offered us new clothes!" I remember, brightening at the idea. Then I remember our clothes are still across the hall. My smile dissapears in an instant. I dont want to open the door

Jonah BOT 22-Nov-21 12:00 PM

I let your hands roll over my chest, I feel a calm roll over me. I don't know what it is about you, but everything seems safe with you. As you let me know about the tailor offering clothes, I smile, "That would be amazing," I smile and say, noticing that we are still naked. "Don't worry," I say as I stand up out of bed, letting everything hang free, I do have a bit of 'morning wood' showing, but I stretch as I stand in bed. Nothing you haven't seen already, I think. "I will go get the clothes, you stay here in bed." I walk to the door opening it, poking my head into the hallway to see if anyone is in the way.

Feylin Aludior BOT 22-Nov-21 06:02 PM

I lay back on the bed and watch you cross the room, smiling as you peek out the door. When you leave the room I put my hands behind my head, closing my eyes to immerse in memories from last night.

Jonah BOT 23-Nov-21 01:57 PM

As I stride across the hallway nude, I feel the breeze hit me in the nether regions, making me shiver for a moment. As I cross into the bathroom, grabbing a towel to wrap around me, I grab our clothes before beginning to walk back across the room. Entering the hallway again, I am met with the sight of the older brother in the tailors family. He narrows his eyes at me as I stare at him, I don't like this. "Either you got a lazy eye, or a lack of respect... Which is it, boy?"

Antony BOT 23-Nov-21 02:21 PM

"I've got your clothes. Courtesy of my old man. You should be grateful. Let the lady know I've got hers too." He says, producing a neatly folded bundle of clothing. He removes a few items from the top and offers half of the clothes to you, tucking the rest under his arm with a smirk.

Jonah BOT 23-Nov-21 02:32 PM

"You can give me hers as well," Jonah said, stone faced, staring down the older boy, "I will bring them to my wife."

Antony BOT 23-Nov-21 02:38 PM

he holds on to the rest of the clothes, turning away. "I was told to give them to her, and make sure everything fits. If not, I've got to get her measurements and bring them back to be adjusted."
