Elvara stood still for a moment before she turned around to look at him "You...want to protect me?" She asked in an almost shocked tone. No one had ever wanted to do something like that for her. Growing up in a drow clan was a little harsh. From day one if you didnt protect your self you died it was that simple. So needless to say when those words came out she didnt know what to say back.

So Elvara did the only thing that she thought of. She took the steps forward needed to be right infront of Zek. Elvara then leaned up and was heading to kiss him when a knock sounded at the door. She growled and leveled her footing "What is it!?" She barked and the door open "We are departing shore M'lady" The man said with a bow. "Great, now leave" She said and the man nodded bowed again and left. Elvara sighed and closed her eyes...she wanted that kiss.

[Rosekitten]

He thought about what she asked for a moment before speaking. "Right .. well if it'll make you feel better you can think of it as sacrificing or something. The other way probably just offended you." He needed to watch his own tongue, he knew how drows lived he was brought up that way.. just he stayed around Vaden too much probably for his own good. He was rather surprised thats all she said at the moment though, if he did offend her then he should expect worse after she was over the shock.

When she seemed to walk forward and lean towards him he figured she was about to let him have whatever her thoughts were on what he had said. Though it was cut short with the sudden outburst saying they were finally leaving. After the door shut and she seemed to stand there he felt like he wanted to back away from her really. "Um.. you ok?" he finally asked just so she'd say or do something, anything. Sure he had dealt with females before but she .. he never knew what was going through her head and it scared him quite frankly.

[Pinkie]

Elvara took a step back from him and gave a sigh "Im fine" She said before turning and walking around the table and sitting in one of the chairs in the room. The small room houses a table and chairs, a desk and a bed. It was her living quarters and the only one besides the crews quarters.

"Well sit your making me nervous" She said after a moment or two of silence. She didnt like silence. It was the one thing that Elvara couldnt stand in the world yet there seemed to be so much of it between the two of them.

[Rosekitten]

He felt like he had said something wrong now with how she reacted to what he asked. Maybe he was just bothering her or something, or she was really fully sobered up now and this morning was a fluke. He had a right to be nervous around her, she was a drow that alone scared him. He had no idea why it did so badly but it did, even if he never let her know that it seemed the blood line from his mother's side ran deeper then he cared to admit. Though to be honest he'd rather just have that bloodline and be a coward towards females then be what he was.

"Nervous? I can go find something to do to get out of your way if you want." He wasn't sure he wanted to spend the whole trip here in silence, the thought that this was the only place to sleep aside from the crews quarters never once crossed his mind. He'd sleep there if it made things easier on her.

[Pinkie]

Elvara shook her head "No...please stay" She said "I hate boats with a passion" She said in a cringe. "Besides unless you want to sleep with the crew this is your only option" She said with a nod of her head "And if I were you I would stay here" She said with a nod of her head again. A crew of just drows...Yeah you stay in one place.

"Unless...you dont want to" She said looking out the window off to her left side almost sadly. Yes it was true that the one night affected Elvara more then Zek knew...she didnt want him to go anywhere...only to stay beside her.

[Rosekitten]

"ok fine.. I'll stay. Though I'm not sure why you hate boats." Though thinking on that he second guessed that. "Well.. I could see why drows should hate water I guess.. but you live on a island." Maybe he shouldn't pry on this so much, but it was better then silence. The only real reason he could think to hate the water if you were from one of the clans that still lived underground, water could be the worse issue to come across in the passageways.

Finally sitting like she had asked before he sighed a little. He just hated being cooped up somewhere. He couldn't stand not being allowed to go where ever he wanted. "Well.. guess I don't have many options heh.. I was just trying to give you your space. I know where we're going is your home." He'd rather not someone questioning on why she was with him or something going around that he was sleeping in the same room as her, it'd cause her trouble down the line. Or at least he thought it would. "You know I have no issue sleeping with the crew, I think any comments they can come up with I've heard before a hundred times." Not only that but if it was needed he could handle himself.. but only if needed.

[Pinkie]

Elvara sat there as she listend to him "Yes I do live on an Island but that dose not mean I like boats" She said in a little bit of a huff. "And if you want to so bad then do it I will not stop you" With that she got a questioned look and she replyed "The crews quarters are down below one more level...have fun" With that Elvara stood up and left out the door. She needed some fresh air.

She didnt know why it was bothering her so much. This was the way they had acted towards each other from day one right? And just because she wanted to help him didnt meen that anything had to come from it right? She sighed to herself. No it did not mean that something had to come from it but...she wanted something to and the fact that Zek continued to push her way proved her point. He got what he wanted right...

[Rosekitten]

When she seemed to leave the room in a huff he sighed heavily. What did he say wrong now. This would be better after this, she could stay on her island and he could go back home to his damned sorry existent he called a life. Hell maybe he could track down a demon hunter and start trying his luck that way, they normally had a number of traps or ways to weaken and kill demons. Yeah there was always that idea.

After a few moments he finally stood to go see where she had walked off to. Not like the boat was that big anyway, so finding her shouldn't be that hard. After a few moments he saw her almost absentmindedly looking across the water from where she was standing. At first he didn't move to go towards her, but he figured he might as well get this over with. From the way she walked off he knew she was mad, that was the only thing he had figured out was when she was annoyed or pissed throughout this whole trip.

Walking over to her he kept a few steps back from her. There was the idle thought of going up behind her and holding her, but he didn't feel like getting a dagger as a reward for doing so. "Elvara.." Seeing as she didn't move or even act like he spoke to her he sighed a little. "Whatever I said I'm sorry.. would you stop being mad if I said I won't go with you?" She still seemed to say nothing towards him, this was getting old and fast. "Damn it I don't know what to say to you! The only times I know for sure what your even thinking is when your pissed." He could have probably left that last part out, but he was getting a little frustrated by all of this.

She would have been better off if they never crossed paths. Or if Vaden never sort of forced them to travel together. Maybe he should have just stayed where he was instead of following her to her island, it's not like he was really any help. She had done most of the fighting, the only real times he was useful was when he let himself just go and then he had the risk of losing his own humanity.

[Pinkie]

Elvara stood there and listened as he spoke though it didnt stop the light trickle of tears down her face. Though as he began to speak the more her anger rose before she turned around and looked at him with angry watery eyes "Yes do it send me in that hell hole alone" she said anngerly "And the only reason why thats all you know is because you only know how to get one reaction out of me" She said in a huff and even stomped her foot.

Elvara growled a little "You got what you wanted right...now leave" She said waving her hand towards him dismissing him "Its always about you. What you want, what you say...its always you you you" She hissed "Well fuck you" She said in a temper "Oh wait I have..."

[Rosekitten]

He could handle her being pissed off or whatever but when she started to go about her last bit and then shoo him off like he was some servant or lower ranked being compared to her it finally struck a nerve with him. The last bit she had to add to it was what forced him to finally say forget what he had been told over the years, to hell with it.

Walking towards her he grabbed her as she started to turn around as he forced her to stay there. She could struggle against him and in a fight she might be able to win but he still had more strength then her just standing here like this. "First off don't go waving your damn hand at me like I'm some serving boy to be dismissed. I'm not, if you remember we're equals you might not like that idea but guess what it's a fact. Go ahead and say what you want that the females rule our kind! But you know what? I'll tell you right now I'll be damned if I'm going to stand here and let you bark your orders and your mind when all you do is get mad at me when I speak my own."

He still kept a hold of her he was far from done. "You could have been rid of me ages ago, you had your chance. Hell if i remember right Vaden even gave you a blade to kill me. Your tired of me then fine use the damned blade see if I care. But for your royal information this trip wasn't about me, I didn't want to go on it! Up in the mountains when you were freezing I wasn't doing any of that for my own damn sake."

He breathed out a little before letting her go. "From what I remember you got what you wanted to, I tried to tell you no. You got more pissed the more i turned you down, and now you have the nerve to say that it was all about what I wanted?" He almost had to laugh before walking off a few steps. "You should think about everything thats happened before you speak." He warned her before walking else where on the deck, anywhere to be away from her. At the present time his normal collected self was not something he could muster.

[Pinkie]

Elvara stood there in shock. It was true he never had to do anything like that for her. Was it truely her fault this came to be? But the more she thought of it the more she disagreed. No it was his fault. She kept trying to get close to him and all he ever did was shun her and push her away. Fine if he wanted to play this game she will.

With a growl she walked over to where he stood "Hey!" She screamed at him and just as Zek turned to make a snide remark she wound up and cracked him right in the side of the face with all her anger and fustration "ITS YOU!" She screamed "All I want is to be close to you...to be with you!" She yelled "But all you ever do is push me away and shun me making me feel like a pessant infront of a king" She hissed "Well I will take no more!" She yelled.

From the raise of her voice crew members began to come to deck. Seeing Elvara yell that she would have no more two men ran over and grabbed Zeks arms "Take him to the cells and chain him...his face is making me sick" With that she turned and left heading back to her room ignoring the protesting of Zek behind her. Elvara knew she had more then enough drows on this ship to drag him there.

[Rosekitten]

It was rather odd he hardly struggled as she she ordered her crew to chain him. "Tsk I was fucking tired of listening to your mouth!" He could have struggled against this, but there wasn't a point to it really. they were int he middle of the ocean, hell struggling would just make it worse. He never thought twice on her words even as they were forcing him to where she told them to take him.

He had half a mind to see how many he could take out before they could finish chaining him up. Even after they were finished and left him there to rot he never opened his mouth. He wouldn't doubt it if she didn't try some stupid crap once they got to her island. Like hell he was going to be stuck in chains for the rest of eternity. Though this did give him a bit of free time to think on whats he had even said to him.

He never paid attention to what she had said in her rant when he was above deck, but now he had time to go over it. Was it really his fault? Hell if she wasn't so damn closed off and to herself then he might have noticed she was even trying to get close to him. He only knew that he was pushing her away when she offered to help.. but.. He shook his head a little what the hell did it matter now.

[Pinkie]

Elvara passed back and forth in her quarters huffing and talking to her self "What the hell is the matter with him!" She yelled and the vause of flowers off of her table causing it to crash and break on the hard wooden floor. Elvara sighed seeing the broken pieces of glass. Walking over she began to pick up the large shards before she hissed and drooped them to the floor. Looking at her hand she groaned at the cut that lay across her palm. Great thats just what she needed.

After Elvara got a crew member to clean the mess she wrapped her hand and flopped down onto her bed. He mind was going over everything that took place. Okay so maybe she went to far with the chains...he could of been just in the cell right? She shook her head and turned over.

The later the night got the more Elvara thought and the less she slept. She huffed and got up. Grabbing the candle from beside her bed she lit it and headed out the door. Walking in an almost trace she soon found her self before Zeks cell. Now that she saw him hunched over and chained a tear came to her eye.

Opening the cage door she walked inside and stood there waiting for him to say something, but silence was all that greated her. She whimpered a little before placing the candle down and grabbing the keys unlocking his chains. As his arms fell from the harsh mettle the tears fell from Elvara's eyes "Im...so sorry" She said before turning to leave.

[Rosekitten]

He figured she was going to leave him there for the rest of the trip. Though that didn't seem to be the case when it grew later into the night, not that he could tell what time of day it was from here. As soon as he heard someone walking into the area where the cell was he knew who it was. The only female on this ship, she walked too lightly to be any of the crew. He had half a mind keep his mouth shut and to refuse to say anything at all to her.

Though at the same time he was expecting her to say anything other then what she did say. He wasn't even expecting her to undo the chains at all. When she said sorry and she seemed to be crying he couldn't just stay there and let her walk off. She was right this was at least half if not more his fault for being damn blind. She had gotten a few steps away before he moved to walk after her.

Getting her to stop he made her turn around to face him as he pulled her against him. "You didn't do anything wrong.. " Sure he was risking her probably have a good reason to stab him for touching her but he didn't care. She was hurting because of him and he knew it, it wasn't something he intended to happen and looking back on everything he wanted or rather thought he deserved to stay locked up here if not worse for ignoring her.

[Pinkie]

Elvara stopped when Zek reached out and grabbed her. She didnt resist as he turned her around and held her to his chest in fact she was hoping for that out come. As soon as her head his his chest her shoulders heaved harder as the tears came full forse. She brought her arms up and wrapped them around the male infront of her "Yes I did...I took it to far" She said holding onto him.

After a little while later she pulled away from him and grabbed his hand with her bandaged one. Turningn she led him out of the cell after grabbing the candle and went back to her quarters loving the fact that Zek didnt fight it. Entering the room she slipped her hand out of his with a little hiss before walking over to the bed in a wordless request. They didnt have to do anything just him holding her and Elvara would be happy.

[Rosekitten]

He didn't think she went too far, she had the right to go further really. She could have done whatever she had wanted to him while he was down there but she didn't. throughout this whole trip she could have done anything to him.. she could have said this sooner.. though she did to a extent back at the castle. He had just been too dense to notice it. Maybe he was just scared .. to get close to someone. He always said he wasn't going to allow himself to grow attached to anyone.

Yet here he was holding onto her and trying to tell her she didn't do anything wrong. After a while when she started to lead him back towards her room he noticed the wrappings on her hand but he didn't speak up for the moment. He'd wait till they she was sitting down or more relaxed then she was at the present time.

Once she let go and walked over to sit on the bed he sighed a little before sitting next to her and taking her hand that was wrapped up. "Do I want to know?" He didn't give her time to answer that question as he moved his hand a little to press on the wound lightly. It was easy to tell where the cut was at, the wrapping seemed hastily done at best. Though he guessed it had happened a few hours ago at the least.

It was similar to what he had done for her before, though it seemed to work better on cuts then it did for broken bones. After a moment he moved his hand to just holding hers there before speaking again. "You didn't go to far, you were right. I wouldn't have really blamed you for leaving me down there." He laughed weakly with a thought that came to his mind. "But you know.. I figured out I don't want to be banished.." To be stuck like that for eternity was a bit much.
