Caspian smiled at the fire sparking in the blue eyes, and though his expression moved little, somehow he seemed more approving of her anger and defiance and sarcasm than a more "lady-like" response. Then again, he was a pirate. When she curtsied, he returned a text book perfect bow and smiled at her, a slight dimple in his right cheek. "My honour M'lady." While she sounded sarcastic, he sounded absolutely sincere. He turned to watch her storm past him and shook his head when she faltered and blushed at the Captain. Still it didn't hurt him if the Captain threw the captive off her stride, in fact it was more than amusing. He shifted back to stand with Ayo, about to continue their conversation when suddenly their captive bird decided to sing.<br/><br/>Minali stood ready to catch Amanda if she had trouble with the ladder-like steps and swaying ship. Her lips parted when Amelia suddenly began to sing, and watched her with wide eyes. They all sang often enough, to make work go faster, to time oars if they took out a longboat, to celebrate and entertain. None of those reasons seemed to fit a captive they'd been teasing moments ago. Minali had to fight the temptation to make an irreverent comment to break the spell when silence fell. In fact she was shocked that Caspian remained silent, watching the girl with only a slight smile and no words. Perhaps he was feeling too smug with his judgement proved correct.<br/><br/>Her tongue ran along her lips and she tightened her fingers slightly upon Amelia's. In silence she gently guided her back to her own cabin and opened the door, only then releasing Amelia's soft hand. Minali waited for the girl to enter and then followed her back inside. At that point the quiet was to much for her and to distract herself she tried, "Ayo will probably thank you, I already took my four hours this morning, and she gets grumpy at me when I try to use a ship to guide my thoughts." She glanced around the room as if not sure what to do with herself. Normally she'd sit at the table, but it was still piled with Amelia's things. She had forgotten to tell Caspian to bring a chest for the girl to put her things in.<br/><br/>With not a lot of options she went back to her desk and leaned against it, crossing her arms over her chest and watching Amelia steadily. The girl stood there, as pretty as a picture, holding her journal. Minali let a soft exhale escape her lips and then spoke, "If you speak softly, this is as close as a ship gets to privacy. What did you need to say my dear?"
