Mates And Bond

Drayce brought Seren down to the deck after they spent some time in the crow's nest at the top of the main mast. 

Her husband idly fixed the part of her hair messed up by the wind. "You are yet to have a meal, right? Would you like to have it on the deck or inside the cabin?" 

"I have been inside the cabin the entire day. I would like to be outside now."

Drayce agreed, and soon, a relatively simple meal was arranged for her, with the sailors helping by putting a wooden table and chairs on the upper deck of the ship. Just as her servants were placing the last of the dishes, Drayce excused himself. "My Queen, have a good meal."

She didn't expect him to leave. "Are you not having a meal with me, Dray?"

"I am not hungry yet," he answered. 

"Umm, fine."

Seren no longer insisted and simply watched Drayce leave the upper deck towards the main deck, stopping to stand at the bow of the ship with his hands behind him.
