Lunette felt her eyes flutter open to the feeling of someone shaking her awake. Her eyes opened and she found Amelia standing over her with a small smile. "How like Delbert you are, with all these books thrown about you," she laughed. She took a step away and looked over the massive bed and her smile broadened seeing the bed covered with books and papers and notes. "Your studies are going well?" she asked as Lunette sat up and stretched. She yawned, but nodded. "I was looking for another tie to mother." Amelia looked over a sheet and Lunette asked, "Why did you wake me?"
"Usually we eat separately, but I would like us to join the crew," Amelia stated with a small smile. "I thought you may enjoy some company after being in here all day." And Lunette was suddenly awake, "Yes, please." She lifted herself off of the bed and as she straightened her hair and slipped on her shoes. And once ready Amelia motioned her to follow her out onto the deck. The walked out onto the flat deck, then down another set of steps that led into the galley. The crewmen were already down there and as loud as they were, once she came into view they quieted. Lunette's eyes narrowed for a moment before she followed Amelia to the table and took a seat beside her.
"Ah, so tha lassie reveals herself," Flanagen said. Her eyes met his and she recognized him as the man who had tried to help her with her bags. And she said, "I thank you for offering me your help earlier." He smiled to her and nodded. "Anythin for a purdy lassie." She laughed lightly and eased further into her seat. And then, the men, who eyes had watched her, finally looked away and began their conversations once more. She listened to the crewmen. She peered around and found that there were no women or females on the crew's staff. She wondered for a moment before Amelia whispered to her, "Women tend to cause trouble among the crewmen," she said simply. Lunette nodded and looked at Amelia. "Am I so easy to read?"
"You are a woman, aboard a man's ship. I cannot always be there for you when you wish to speak with a woman," Amelia said. "I have three daughters Lunette, your yearning for a woman to talk to is only natural." Lunette countered, "I just do not know what to talk about." Amelia shrugged then, "No need now. Food's ready!" And their galley chef passed down foods that smelt amazing and delicious and only then did Lunette realize how hungry she was.
