'Suzume' couldn't help but blush, as all the many members of the crew greeted her upon her return to the ship.  There were old faces and new faces, those to whom she was a familiar friend, a passing acquaintance, or simply a beautiful young woman being invited aboard.  Her replacement caught her eye especially, the red hair and freckles making him look rather adorable...  What impressed her especially about her return to the ship, though, was that the crew really did seem honestly happy to see her, without any other emotions complicating things.<br/><br/>Really, given the hijinks she used to get up to back when she was still a member of the crew, she had honestly been expecting a little more lustful leering.  Why, after that one time she and Myobi had temporarily wrested control of the ship away from the Captain and humiliated him a bit, he'd gotten the whole ship in on their 'punishment'.  To say nothing of the way she'd normally spent her time when shirking her duties and hiding from the First Mate...<br/><br/>It was actually more than a little touching, and it left her feeling some amount of sorrow over the fact that she'd have to turn them all down and return to her married life in an hour or so.  There was definitely some real love there, it seemed.<br/><br/>The Captain, on the other hand...  Well, when he poured her that drink and gave her that toast, she didn't join in.  She couldn't join in, really.  Instead, she simply set her glass down on the table and gave him a look.  It was a flat look, a slightly angry look, and it sent a pretty clear meaning:<br/><br/>If that was supposed to be a joke, she was not amused.
