He smiled a little as she spoke. He was glad to hear her voice. Even if it was worried and panicked. He embraced her. She had saved him.<br/>He looked over at Jacob and nodded, "Aye...she is safe. We will take her aboard."<br/>He swooped her up into his arms, figuring she would be too weak to walk. He cradled her gently, and walked past Jacob.<br/>He got into the dingy he left there earlier. The rest of his crew boarding in other small boats. He set Mynxa gently inside, he caressed her cheek briefly as her set her down. Nathaniel took ahold of the oars and began to push out toward his ship. His breathing was easy and his eyes shone a new serenity. He continued rowing as he looked out to the vast sea. The sunset barely breaking over the golden horizon of the water.<br/>"The sea...she is a beautiful thing. Full of mysteries and new beginnings." He sighed looking at her, "It's probably why I chose the pirate life..." He thought for a second, why did he really choose a life such as this? He paused for a second listening to the water rush over his oars.<br/>"Mynxa?" he looked over at her, "Thanks...for earlier."<br/>Since when did he learn manners?! He never before said thank you and meant it. He swallowed hard. His mind racing. This girl could possibly change him, if it wasn't too late. He kept his composure as calm as he could make it.
