When the coast was clear, Inara took out a bobby pin that held in her hair and straightened it out. She then put it in the keyhole and jiggled it till the lock clicked. Inara was just about to turn the handle when the door swung open.
"HOLY SHIT INARA," Achilles jumped, he then quietened down "why are you so close to the door?"
Achilles closed the door behind him.
In total shock Inara dropped the bobby pin and it bounced under the bed.
"Just listening for you darling", Inara said smoothly trying to cover her lie.
"At least your not trying to escape again", Achilles said as he turned for the bed.
Inara rolled her eyes at his remark and slowly opened the door.
"It's dark and we've been sailing for some time now I highly doubt you can run", Achilles informed as he flopped stomach first on the bed.
"Oh no, of course not, I'm just going out whoring", Inara joked. Her husband chuckling as she went to close the door.
"Just keep of my cousin!" Achilles replied as he started nodding off to sleep.
Inara climbed up the small ladder and entered upon the deck. Everyone was either sleeping or drunk, so Inara felt reasonably safe. She could take on myrmidons so a few drunk guys would be no problem.
Inara crept by a group of drinking soldiers and glanced momentarily.
"Come over here whore!" the fat drunk mumbled while looking Inara up and down.
"I don't think so handsome", Inara said sarcastically placing her hands on her hips.
The drunk started to get slightly offended and 'tried' to stand up on his own.
"You listen here missy", the drunk slurred, trying to point at Inara but missing by about a metre "I want some and I'm gonna get it", saying that the fat drunk stammered towards Inara.
"Oh please", Inara rolled her eyes. "You actually believe your fat arse is going to get any of this?" Inara said gesturing at her body.
The fat soldier suddenly got angry and went to charge at Inara. She quickly ducked, turned and kicked the man in the back. Thankfully he was so drunk he fell on his stomach and passed out. Inara quickly looked at the other men to await their reaction. But they weren't bothered but laughing at their friend's misinterpretation and pure drunkenness.
Inara walked down to the bow of the ship and looked out at the sea. It was dark and mysterious. She loved the sound and the feel.
Suddenly a large hand covered her mouth and waist. She was shocked until she heard a whisper in her ear.
"I heard a loud bang, but I see you've taken care of it." Achilles smiled and released his hands from Inara's mouth and waist. Inara turned around and looked up at her husband.
Moments before his arrival some drunks started playing a soft tune joined by some really bad dancing, Inara was listening to it and watching how the waves complimented the rhythm.
"Do you want to dance?" Achilles asked cautiously. He wasn't used to being rejected but ever since he met Inara it occurred quite often.
"Sure!" Inara took Achilles hand and he pulled her towards him. He held her waist in one hand and her hand in the other pulling her as close as he could as she rested her head on his shoulder.
"I miss these moments", Achilles whispered as he looked down at his wife.
"Me to", Inara's eyes met Achilles', they lingered for a while swapping smiles before Achilles took Inara's chin in his hand and brought her close for a short, sweet kiss.
"It's been to long", Achilles whispered as their kiss broke.
"I know!" Inara replied as she grabbed Achilles around the waist and they shared a long lost hug.
