he could say nothing at the offer and blushed scarlet. even he understood what the other implied. '...i..' he lost his nerve, on the one hand he was being given a chance to remain unmolested for at least a little while but on the other as time went on, more and more, he felt a stirring in himself that only the other could touch

Roy took a step back from the other man a smile still on his face. "I'll draw you a bath," he said to him he spoke once more before leaving the other alone in the room. "But for only you, don't worry." he then turned down a small hallway in the room that lead the a bathroom. Roy could tell that he was making Damaris squirm with his comments, he also remembered that Damaris had stopped him from going any further. He wouldn't take advantage of him, yet anyways. Eventually he would lose control of himself and allow his needs to take over. Though if Damaris still denied him then he could always find someone else to ease his cravings. Roy almost felt guilty for thinking that, being with someone else. He wondered how Damaris would react to it, he hissed at himself. Why the hell was he worrying about that?

Roy returned to the room once he had finished drawing Damaris a bath. "It's ready for you," he told the other man. In the bathroom he had left out a few towels, various shampoos and soaps for Damaris to choose from. "I'll take one later, perhaps at the inn." he looked up at the other man, he smiled. "Do you have a problem with sharing a room with me or?"

'...n-no' he said shyly taking his spare change of clothes with him. 'i...don't mind' he slipped by the other his customary slouch losing him a few inches. he quickly went into the room and slid the door carefully closed. he leaned against it for a few moments before looking around, a large tub, much grander than anything at the inn laid imbedded in the center of the room a pump rested at the far side of it and a hole was placed in the middle, it was an ingenious set-up, pulling seawater from the ocean then letting it back out again. he dropped his clothes and went to the pump, he gave an experimental tug but he did not have the strength to pull from it. he was once again in awe of the captain. his stomach dropped immediately after. the sheer folly of denying roy left him sick, he had known the other was dangerous but wrapped in the warm embrace of his captain's arms he had forgotten that 'safe' was something he had only by way of whim. he shuddered at the thought then discarded it thoroughly. roy had shown him nothing to cause this fear. dwelling on such thin and sickly thoughts would only feed irrationality. he began to strip, the salt water was warm and soothing. he relaxed then noticed a large mirror in the corner, he sloshed over to it in wonder, glass was hard to come by mirrors were doubly so, he peered at his reflection. '.........hells bells' he stared googled-eyed at the refraction, a trail of dark bruises littered down his neck ending in a splotch on his shoulder-joint. he put his face to the floor and shakily laughed. this was a day he'd like to start over please.

Once Damaris had gone to bathe Roy went to his drawers and dug around a bit. It was rather cold outside, mostly because it was early in the morning and also because the season was suddenly changing. Roy pulled out a coat that was neatly folded and tucked away in the back of his drawer. He ran his hand over it brushing off dust from it, he put it on the bed then dove back into the drawer to find another. Roy knew that Damaris had brought very little clothes with him, he took out a second coat and placed it beside the first. The other man could wear his spare until Roy bought him one that could properly fit him.

Roy had told Damaris that he would care for him, he would not go back on his word. He planned to take the other man around a bit, to purchase some new clothes for him and to get him a treat at the local bakery. He picked up the coat that he had retrieved for himself and slipped into it. "I left a coat here for you!" he yelled hoping that Damaris would hear. Roy buttoned up his jacket then left to speak to his men, he had to check a few more things before leaving and he also planned to wait for Damaris.

the muffled sound of the other through the door brought him back. he sobered up and finished his washing and pulled the plug. he toweled dry and left his hair down, he needed what coverage he could get. he dressed and left the bathroom. when he got out the room was empty but for a single coat on the bed. he went over to it and picked it up, it was too large but it was obviously set out for him. he slid into it and went up deck.


the cool air was a suprize, it was warmer yesterday and wetter too, he shrugged it off though, they were coming on land of course the weather would change, he held the borrowed coat closer and looked for roy

( sorry this was short D: )

Roy spoke to his men briefly before they left to gather supplies and to settle into their rooms at the local inn. Roy waited on the dock for the men who had been hired to improve the Judith's condition to arrive. When Damaris came up to the deck he was speaking to them about the cost, it was nothing that he couldn't afford though he made it clear that it had to be done within three days or at most four. He didn't want to delay going to his planned destination any longer. Roy brought himself over to Damaris once he was finished speaking to the men, he smiled at the man warmly.

"It seems that my coat is too large for you," he said taking note that it was rather big on Damaris. He brought himself beside the other man and placed an arm across his shoulders. Roy walked and made Damaris walk with him. "We're going to go to a local clothing store, I'm going to get you a few things..." he walked off of the ship and down the dock with Damaris still by his side. "Don't protest, I insist."

[littl3chocobo]

the resistance in him died before it ever made itself known. he shrugged under the weight of the coat and followed behind roy. he felt the weight of everyone looking at him as he left the ship, he shrank as much into his coat as he could his burgeoning shyness returning tenfold

[gremlin]

( boring boring but I'm thinking of something big for at night when there's a festival )

Roy brought Damaris to various clothing stores, despite the other man hesitating to accept any of the things he bought for him he continued to spoil him. Roy brought Damaris to the inn for a few moments to leave what they had bought there, it would be too much to carry so much things around as they explored the village. The room that he had taken for himself and Damaris was the largest room in the inn. In it was a king sized bed, a bathroom and other luxuries. When they left Roy walked with the other man to a pastry shop. "What do you want?" he held the door open for Damaris and smiled. "You can have anything that you want." he said to him.

[littl3chocobo]

he was quite embarrassed over having gotten so much attention but at the same time he was pleased to be thought of as so important as to receive it. the sun was halfway across the evening sky when they came upon the baker's shop at the edge of town it was strange to see the large bakery right next to the shop but there was water nearby so maybe it was not so strange as he thought, they entered into the building and were instantly taken in by the smell of breads and desert sweets. his mouth watered at the sights and smells so when roy asked him what he wanted he did not hesitate and pointed. centered for all to see was a caramel layered flake-pastry strewn with walnuts honey and almonds.

Roy bought the other man what he wanted without hesitation, he had told Damaris that he would care for him and spoil him. He intended to do so even if the other was reluctant to accept so many things. Roy brought his arm across the other man's shoulders, he walked out of the pastry store with Damaris.

"I heard that there is going to be a festival tonight in this little village to celebrate some sort of final harvest of the crops." Roy looked at Damaris as they walked by a few other stores and some homes. "I won't drink if that bothers you, though I can not make any promises." he whispered to the other man. Roy had never told anyone that he would try not to drink because he knew that he shouldn't even be saying such a thing to begin with.

He looked up from Damaris, Roy's smile disappeared as his eyes fell on another man who was walking by them. The other man looked at Roy, their eyes met and they watched each other for a little bit. Roy pried his eyes away from the other man then returned his eyes to Damaris. "Will you come to the festival with me? It's alright if you say no. If you stay at the inn then maybe I will too, I don't want to leave you alone."

[littl3chocobo]

he did not understand the looks the two shared but it made him uncomfortable all the same. "....go wherever you will me to" he wanted to say more but the stranger was still walking not too far away. though he had not eaten anything in nearly two days the thought of the pastry now set his mouth to ash, he pocketed it and walked closer to the other. he his deeper in the coat
