It had crept along lunch time, and when he didn't come back to the apartment, Bryn had assumed Edward forgot about eating. Being the dutiful partner she was, she packed some sandwiches some drinks, and a few snacks in a basket, and carried it down to where the ships were docked.

When the doors parted with a hiss, she looked for obvious signs of where her pirate-y lover was exactly. It wasn't easy, he didn't leave tracks. "Edward?" She called out softly in her gentle Norse brogue.

She hadn't only come prepared to be a feast for his, no doubt, growling stomach, she'd come prepared to be one for his eyes. Black plasteel boots that laced up to her knees, paired with a simple tight fitting body-con black dress that covered her to mid-thigh. Her long ginger curls free, and makeup light.

Bryn loved how they each responded to her differently. She chuckled at his wink, not that she was against his suggestion. "Well, they are sandwiches, they'll hold." A teasing agreement to his offer. Oh, she wasn't shy in the slightest, but that had always been her way.

"You are much braver than I. Just learning to fly..." She couldn't shake off the shiver that no doubt visibly coursed through her. "It is not a feat I see myself ever attempting. I will tame dragons, walk on fire, but you will have to bound and gag me to get me up in one of those contraptions." Or get her well and truly drunk. Which wasn't as difficult has it had been when they first met.

She closed the gap between them, drawing the basket that held the various vittles in it behind her. The fear was instantly gone from her body. Afterall it wasn't Edward she was afraid of. "Now which hunger do you wish to slake first, Captain?" One ginger brow raised.

Perhaps it was bravery, although Edward didn't think it so. The stars and open space were vaster than any ocean he had ever sailed, and perhaps even more dangerous, but there was the chance to explore. The chance to find things of value that would make all of their lives easier. The rewards made the risks worth it, just as they had made the choice to sail just as easy. There was no room for fear.

Edward smirked and wrapped his arms around her. "There's a choice?" he asked her, his tones light hearted and flirtatious. He mirrored her facial expression, a smirk lifting the corner of his mouth. He leaned in to kiss her.

One of the plus sides of being rather short, the handle of the basket was just long enough for her to loosen her fingers and let it drop, and it only dropped maybe an inch or two, with no damage to anything inside. And this was what she did the moment he wrapped his arms around her, so she could return the favor unhindered. A little smile touched her lips as he leaned down to claim hers.

Bryn raised up on her toes to meet the kiss, because who was she to resist such a charming Pirate Captain? And if she were honest, both he and Jacob had her wrapped around their little fingers, and could very easily leave her in a melted puddle of goop. And she was happy with that arrangement. As she was this as she melted against him.

Edward smiled when she returned the kiss. He moved each new kiss to her jawline and then down her neck.

"So when you came here, was this what you had in mind?" he asked between kisses. "And when you said you would only go on my ship were you bound and gagged, did you mean that?" he added, moving away from her neck to meet her gaze once more. There was something far more flirty in his tones, going with the flow of things. While he was relaxed before he seemed even more so in her arms.

Bryn drew her lower lip between her teeth as he ran his down her neck. "No, actually, I did honestly come to sate a possible growling stomach." She opened her eyes, only slightly. It was impossible not to be wooed by this man when things were innocent, but his lips were magic. Whether they be peppering kisses, or spouting drunken lyrics.

She chuckled softly at his next question though. "Why? Do you want to tie me up and gag me, Captain?" She was returning flirt for flirt. "I suppose you could throw me over your shoulder without any bonds, or get me very very drunk, if you had intention of getting me inside your ship and going anywhere. Not that I don't trust your skill, I do absolutely. It's the mechanics of the contraption that I don't trust. In my time there were machines much like this," She nodded toward his space bird. "That flew the skies of Earth, and I saw many a sad story where more crashed to earth far too many times. A ship on water I can trust, because I've been able to swim since I was a babe, I've never been able to fly."

"Who said I had any intention to fly us anywhere?" he replied smoothly. "Besides, it's much more homely and cosy inside the ship than it is outside. If you let me show you, I'll reward your bravery two fold" he smiled, his hands moving down to take a hold of her hands.

He had been working on not just the mechanical and technical aspects of the ship, but making it feel more comfortable. The ship was big enough to have a small med bay, a few rooms, a small galley for food and drinks, a storage area, engine room and of course, the pilots room.

It wasn't that she didn't trust him, she did. It was a perfectly reasonable fear, to her, that she was battling. She was literally at war with herself, when her fingers tightened around his, and she sucked in a breath and gave in. "How am I supposed to deny a request like that, especially when you have that face, and that voice and that... Je ne sais quoi." His ability to melt her insides was unmet by anyone, besides Jacob.

"Show me your ship, my love. And I will try to keep any hysterics minimal." Bryn reasoned with herself that as long as it didn't move she would be fine. And it couldn't move without him at the helm, could it? And if he was showing her around, he wouldn't be at the helm. "Get the basket?"

Edward smiled and knelt down to pick up the basket, as she had asked. He didn't mind.

"I promise, you will be safe. You have my word" he said to her, holding the basket for her to take back. He would have carried it but he did have to control the doors and show her around. He took her other hand and led her up towards the cargo bay door. It acted as a sort of ramp, allowing things to be brought on board and stored.

He led her beyond the cargo bay, pressing his hand against a touchpad and opening up a door into a corridor. There were six doors, all leading to different rooms down the sides, and one door at the end of the hallway. Each room was sealed behind an electronically sealed door.

While normally it might have seemed quite sterile and cold, Edward had decorated so that it would feel more comfortable. He wanted something that would feel familiar. Pictures and fabrics were hung up, and rugs laid down.

"Which room would you like to see first? We have a kitchen, a few bedrooms, the engine room. The medical bay" he offered.

Already, once they got out of the cargo bay, the ship was not what she expected. It was more homey than she envisioned. Her fingers tightened around his when he asked his question. "Lets go to the kitchen first." In her mind that was always the heart of the home, and while she knew a lot about engines, they had fascinated her since they were first brought into the world, she was quite sure the engine for this machine was quite different than what she'd explored.

It would also give her a chance to sit the basket down, and an ideal place to have the meal she'd prepared. Bryn diverted her attention from the corridor to his face. Was that a little bit of pride she saw there? "Already it is not as intimidating as the outside is."

"I'm glad" he replied to her when she mentioned how much less intimidating it seemed on the inside. He wanted the ship to feel like another home. A place where he could be comfortable, as well as anyone else who came aboard.

Edward led her toward the kitchen. It looked like a fairly ordinary kitchen, save for the more high tech gadgets. There was a cooker of sorts but more high tech, along with a fridge and a large storage unit. Along with that there was a replicator, capable of creating meals in its databass.

The kitchen was decorated to look more homely too. Some of the kitchen tabletop surfaces and counters had been replaced with wood where possible to make it feel less alien to the young pirate. The chairs had been replaced with wooden ones as well, along with the kitchen table. A rug had been placed under the dining table, and a few tapestries and pieces of silk cloth hung from the walls, some draped over chairs.

"What do you think? Decorations are not my forte but I have tried to make this place more cozy"

"I think you did a very good job at making it more warm. The rug is a very nice touch." She nodded to the mentioned added feature. Reaching over to one of the bench surfaces she placed the basket for later use. That was the upside to sandwiches they would hold up until they were ready.

"If the rest of your ship is like this I think you might be able to fool me into thinking we were taking a sea voyage rather than a space one." Especially if the sleeping quarters were decorated to this extent. She could just hide away under the blankets, Bryn was sure. "Unless, of course, you favor the tying me up and gagging me part." She teased, clearly she wasn't against it.
