Instead of following the rest of the crew down below Bryn decided to stay
on deck for a little while, so she walked over the railing and leaned over
and stared at the warm blue waters that reminded her so much of Sinbad's
eyes. They were as deep as the ocean and just as entrancing, god how much
she loved him, Bryn could not imagine her life right now with out him or
any of the crew in it. At this point Dermott flew down and landed on Bryn's
wrist.
"Why are you here and not down below with the others, you must have missed her?" Bryn inquired of the hawk while slowly stroking his feathers. "Not that I am not happy that you're here" With that Dermott gave a little chirp and took off and landed on the upper most sail. Bryn took one last look at him and then turned and walked back across the ship and down below.
Upon reaching the galley Bryn's senses were over whelmed with the noises and smells coming from the group of sailors. They were all sitting around talking and listening while drinking and eating everything that was left over from the last voyage. In the middle of it all was Maeve who was telling Sinbad, Doubar, Firouz, Rongar and the others about her adventures while training with Dim-Dim. The sailors were hanging on every word that came out of the red heads mouth, and when Bryn had entered the room not one of them had blinked let alone acknowledge the fact that she was even there. Not seeing an available chair Bryn took to leaning against the wall near Sinbad, apparently she had come in at the end of a very interesting story because she had not been there two minutes when the Sailors clapped and congratulated Maeve on a job well done. Before Maeve had a chance to start another story Bryn felt that it was her duty to remind the Captain that they had to cast off before it was to late,
"Umm Captain." Bryn started but when no one even turned her way she knew it was going to take a little bit more, "Excuse me Captain" She said again this time in a much louder voice which this time did catch the ear of its supposed listener.
"Sorry Bryn what is it?" Sinbad asked distractedly
"Aren't we supposed to be casting off now? We'll loose the tide if we don't soon"
"Yes, we are umm. Felix, Tomas can you go cast off and Tomas you can take first shift at the tiller." He ordered "There now, Maeve do you have another story?" Sinbad inquired, not even sparing a glimpse at Bryn. With that she turned and walked off to her cabin, calling out to anyone that was listening, which she highly doubted, that she was going to bed. With that Bryn shut her cabin door, blew out the candle that was burning and flopped down in her bed, she pulled up the blankets and tried to block out the noise of her ship mates and eventually she fell asleep.
Bryn woke up not to long after falling asleep, when she heard no voices she figured that the crew had finally gone to their cabins, or passed out in the galley. Either way was good because Bryn decided to go up on deck and see if she could take over for who ever was on duty, since she was finding it hard to get back to sleep. She slowly opened her cabin door and not seeing anyone sleeping on the floor headed up on deck, when she emerged she saw Doubar at the tiller and walked over to him.
As soon as she had come up on deck Doubar had seen her and had watched her look around with her large brown eyes that seemed to read your soul before they had settled on him, she had given him a small smile and headed towards him. When she reached him Doubar found that those eyes that he found you interesting were clouded with worry and confusion.
"What are you doing up?" he inquired "Couldn't get back to sleep that's all. do you want to go to bed I'll take over here for you if you want." The witch replied "No its ok I just relieved Sinbad from duty" At saying this Doubar noticed that Bryn all of a sudden looked dejected and with that she said very quietly "ok then." and turned to leave, but before she could Doubar grabbed her arm and made her look at him when he had her attention he asked the question to which he was pretty sure he already knew the answer to, "Lass what's wrong?"
"Nothing really Doubar, I'm just a little bit confused at the moment that's all" "Why don't you tell me why you are confused? Let me guess is it because Sinbad seemed to ignore you tonight? Is that it?"
With that Bryn's head shot straight up and looked right at Doubar as if saying how did you know?
"I was watching you and him, don't worry he didn't mean to ignore you he was just excited to see Maeve. He hasn't seen her in three years. I promise you that's all"
As soon as the words had left his mouth tears started to stream down Bryn's face "Are you sure Doubar? He seemed so happy when he with her! I don't know what I would do if I lost him! I might die if I lose him!" With that Doubar wrapped his free arm around Bryn's shoulders "Don't worry your pretty little head about it little one, he was happy with her I agree but I have seen him much happier then that and do you know when that is?"
Wiping her eyes across her arm Bryn looked up at Doubar "No, when is that?"
"Whenever he is with you! I think the only time I have seen him over the moon with joy was when he gave you that very ring that's on your finger!" he said as he pointed to the simple little ring on her finger, it was a three little bands of silver twisted together and adorned with a little white stone which would produce a different colour depending on the direction of the light that hit it. The ring was not an engagement ring but a promise ring between them that showed that one day when they were both ready they would get married.
Bryn raised her hand and looked at the ring then let out a little giggle "You know your right Doubar I'm just over reacting"
"Its ok Bryn now go to bed you need your rest it'll all be better in the morning you'll see" With that Doubar gave Bryn a quick hug and kissed her forehead.
"Alright Doubar, I'll see you in the morning, bye" With that she turned and headed back down below and to her cabin. She climbed in to bed and her last thought before she fell asleep were Doubar's words ~~it'll all be better in the morning~~ and with that in mind she fell asleep while playing with the solitary ring on her finger that meant more to her now then it did before.
"Why are you here and not down below with the others, you must have missed her?" Bryn inquired of the hawk while slowly stroking his feathers. "Not that I am not happy that you're here" With that Dermott gave a little chirp and took off and landed on the upper most sail.
