Nathaniel hid the blush that dared creep onto his face as Mynxa's lips touched his cheek, even as she cradled herself into his lap he still held it back. It had been awhile since he had felt a woman's touch. Yet he found he did not care about what other pirates may think. His soul purpose of coming to the old island in the first place was to find a treasure. What a treasure Mynxa was to him. He would not flaunt her, he was too afraid another would snatch her away. He let his blush out, and felt tons better. Mynxa was part of his life now, and he would never hide that fact again.<br/><br/>Even on the boat, as his crew mates secured the last dingy onboard, Nathaniel held Mynxa's hand in his unashamed. Everyone on the ship knew that a sword would end them should they say anything. He looked at her expression and smiled a little. His eyes gleaming at her.<br/>"Welcome aboard Serpent's Gale, Mynxa."<br/>He enjoyed watching her take in the surrounding of the ship, but he soon remembered he was captain.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Orders Cap'n?"</span>A gruff voice said behind them.<br/>Nathaniel turned to see a scruffy looking pirate, with wise eyes and a untrimmed graying beard.<br/>He eyed the pirate with a small smile, "We are setting sail east, we will make port in Cateru, I have a feeling I can find someone who might help me translate Mynxa's language."<br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Aye aye." </span>He said giving both of them a slight bow before leaving to do his duty.<br/>"Jacob, steer the ship for awhile," Nathaniel barked toward the quarterdeck of the ship.<br/>Nathaniel turned his attention back to Mynxa, looking into her eyes. Watching the slight sea wind move her hair, and the remaining sun shining beautifully on her skin. He smiled at her.<br/>"Now, if you would like, I would gladly show you around the ship Mynxa."
