Who: Liadan Shenkmana nd Rufus Dent What: Hanging Out Where/When: Their cabin, Tonight Warnings: Possible
Liadan was intrigued by what Carey had told her. Rufus mentioned marriage and kids, two things they had never really talked about. Liadan never thought she'd be interested in either, but Rufus had changed the wway she felt about a lot of things.
She expected him home any minute, and she glanced at herself in the mirror just to be sure everything was in place. He was bringing dinner, and she hoped he thought to pick up a couple cookies. |

Who: Rufus and Liadan What: Hanging out When: Today, after Liadan got found the rose Rufus left outside her door Where: Rufus' cabin
Liadan couldn't contain herself any longer. With the rose in hand, she headed to Rufus' cabin. She was nervous, but in a good way. She had butterflies in her stomach. She liked Rufus, a lot. She could picture them together, five or even ten years down the road. Married, maybe, living in a small town with a couple of kids. It was silly, she knew. There was no way to know, so early on. But she could fantasize, and maybe hope. He was a good guy, he would treat her right.
Pushing those thoughts from her mind, she reached up to knock on his door. She sniffed the rose while she waited, twirling it under her nose. |

Who: Liadan and Rufus What: Getting to know each other better Where: Liadan's room When: Today Warnings Potentially NWS. That is the goal.
She found she'd been listening to music more lately. Soft, calssical music. It soothed her, when he wasn't around, because it reminded her of him. The way he moved, the way he spoke, the way he held her safe in his arms, even when he wasn't touching her at all. She wasn't quite ready to call it love, but it was getting there. She trusted him, and that ws huge, after all that she'd been through. She didn't trust easily, she'd thought she'd never trust another man at all. She'd even considered trying her luck with another woman. And then he came along, shattering the dark like a ray of pure sunlight.
The cookies helped. The cookies were a tradition now. A rouse she could use to bring him to her. He fell for it, and that made her smile. She glanced at the door. he was on his way, now. He should arrive any moment. With cookies. She was already anticipating the knock on the door, and the crinkle of the bag he carried. The smoothness of the fresh bajked cookies melting in her mouth. She did a quick check of the room, to make sure everything was ready.
She was ready. |

Who: Liadan and ORufus What: Drinking Where: One of the many bars on ship When: This evening
She kept imagining scenarios for where Carey might be. She assumed Alfie Danger-James was with him. Maybe they were fighting, she knew they had a shady past. She didn't know the details, she'd never asked. Maybe they'd fought on one of the outer decks, and ended up over board. Carey never learned to swim when they were kids. She had a strong visual of him flailing in the water, helpless. Surely he'd learned, somewhere along the way. He wouldn't be working on a cruise ship if he couldn't swim, that would be suicide. Which opened up a whole other train of thought, and Liadan shivered to think that could very well have happened, whether or not her brother had learned to swim.
Rufus had come down to see her, To take a walk, to get her mind off things. They'd walked, and she'd been mostly silent. She'd held his hand and listened to him talk, comforted by his presence and his friendship. But it wasn't enough to settle her mind and her fears.
That was why she'd wound up at the bar. Drinking. She didn't want to get drunk, she just wanted to stop thinking about Carey and his possible fate. She had no way of knowing. He may have gotten off the ship in port. He may have missed the deadline for reboarding, That would be just like him. Or maybe he and this Danger-James were hiding somewhere on the ship, playing some stupid school yard game to see how long it would take someone to find them. Or maybe...The possibilities were endless, and she had no way of knowing anything at all.
Easier just to drink. And the man sitting across form her made her feel just a tiny bit safer. It was something, and she was grateful. "I'm sorry, Rufus. You can go. I know I'm a stick in the mud tonight. You don't have to stay." |
