Roy had spent some time in his chambers though soon it wouldn't be his own. He didn't plan to share it with Damaris and knew that the boy may reject such a suggestion due to being so timid. He had set it up hoping that Damaris would like it, Roy was sleep elsewhere. Perhaps he would sleep on the couch in the room or with the other men. The bed was a king sized bed with luxurious fabrics all across it. The blankets were thick and plush, the pillows were soft and made of the best materials. Side tables stood by the bed each had a candle on them and matches by them. There were multiply shelves in the room and a large bookshelf that held more books. Roy liked to read, he even had a small library on the ship. If Damaris wished he could read any book he liked, it was a hobby of Roy's to collect books.

He left his chambers to see if Damaris had arrived, as he stood on the deck he spotted the boy on the docks. He stepped down from the ship and greeted him. Some of his men looked over though said nothing and kept their comments to themselves. They had seen Roy bring other men on to the ship though they didn't stay for very long. Though this time something was different, Roy wouldn't be cruel to Damaris. It made him feel guilty and thinking about it, he wanted to gently hold Damaris and embrace him.


"I set up my bedroom for you, that's where you will sleep and I managed to hire another cook so that you wouldn't struggle to feed more than a dozen other men." he laughed then brought his hand to Damaris'. He wrapped his fingers around his hand and squeezed it gently. "Come, I'll show you your room. I hope that you have everything, we plan to leave soon." he walked, bringing the boy with him. He stepped down a few stairs and opened a door that led to the room. "Do you like it?" he asked and watched the boy to see his reaction.
