Someone asked me to update tonight, so I did:)

Kind of a filler chapter?

"Thank you," Susan muttered to the woman, watching her brother being carried to the Captain's quarters.

"M'name's Leah," the woman said, holding out her hand for Susan to shake.

She took it unsurely. "Susan," she said, though by Leah's recognition of her brother she figured the woman already knew. "Where are they taking him?" Susan added urgently, unwilling to be left in the dark about Peter's condition.

"They'll take good care of him, don't you worry," Leah said nonchalantly, taking a dagger out of it's hilt to inspect it'd edge.

"Thank you," Susan said again, looking around and finding a barrel to sit on.

She gazed at the pirate ship fading into the distance, wringing out her saturated dress, when Leah said, "Ah, let me get you some dry clothes."

Leah took Susan's wrist and led her to a room beside the Captain's. "Being the only woman on the ship has its advantages," she smiled. Her room was large for being on a ship, with light fabrics and many lanterns to keep the area well lit and feminine. In the corner was a large door that Leah opened to reveal a rack of many different color dresses. None of them seemed worn at all. "Take your pick," Leah offered. "I prefer to wear men's clothes. Easier to move."

Susan shuffled through the dresses, taking out an aqua blue one that matched the color of her eyes. She stepped out of the closet and held it up to her in front of a mirror. "It should fit," Susan determined.

"Yes, we look to be much the same size," Leah said. "I'll let you change." With that, Leah stepped out of the room.

Susan unlaced her dress and pulled it over her head. She didn't know where to put the wet item, so she just dropped it on the ground next to her feet while she changed into the blue dress. It was a little too snug for Susan's liking, but it did fit. And anything was better then the soaking outfit. She would just have to hang it somewhere and let it dry.

As she waited for Leah to come back inside, Susan looked around the room. She noticed at least three different daggers sitting around in various places. One hung on the wall with an elegantly crafted hilt and scabbard. Susan stood to admire it just as Leah barged in.

"Hungry?" she asked, startling Susan. Leah had a tray off various foods balanced in her arms.

"Thanks," Susan said, taking a piece of bread from the assortment. After a couple bites, she asked. "Do you have a thing with daggers or something?"

Leah smiled. "Yes. They're quicker and easier to carry then swords. And you can use them in close contact." She grabbed one from her side and in one swift movement put a quick slice into the loaf of bread.

"Wow," Susan breathed. "I wouldn't want to cross you with one of those things."

"I trained for years with it. I still practice a lot," Leah admitted. "Not all of us can have a magic bow like you," she joked, meaning no offense.

Susan was about to respond, when another person barged through the door. She was immediately taken aback from Jacob's dark eyes delving into hers. "Beg your pardon, Queen Susan," he said. "But I would like to inform you that your brother is awake."

Susan's eyes lit up as she asked, "Would it be okay for me to go and see him?"

Jacob touched her arm reassuringly, but not intrusively. "He'll want to sleep soon, but he insisted on seeing you first."

Susan smiled slightly, and let Jacob lead her to the Captain's Quarters, Leah following close behind.

Review.

I'll try to get the next one up quick.

But no promises:-X
