— warmth that her hand had brought, and his eyes found hers, wanting to hold them for a moment longer.

"Do you want to go home? Or would you rather take another walk with me down to the pier? The view is lovely, and it isn't frequented at this hour."

[𝑵𝒚𝒍𝒆 𝑮𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒎 @DeriveCorsair]

Seeing that she did not immediately pull away from his touch, Nyle kept it present there for a while longer and continued the slow, light, circular strokes, adding a comforting warmth to the sensation.

When she did finally pull away, he found himself suddenly missing the —

Frozen at his sudden touch, one she had not felt for so long, one she was once so familiar with and yet now....it came from a stranger.

Her eyes fixed on his hands on top of hers. She should have pulled away at an instant but she held still, maybe for a moment too long.

"I....-

— the sea was full of risk, and people being rocked overboard from a wave was one of the many risks involved.

Soon, they reached his ship, and he paused for a moment, assessing how best to help her before deciding to bring her to the ladder at the side and have he climb up it.

[𝑵𝒚𝒍𝒆 𝑮𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒎 @DeriveCorsair]

Having to grant his assistance was already the outcome he expected, so it was not long after she had confirmed such that Nyle swam closer to her, enough to extend a hand towards her, and once she took it, helped her to move off the rock and into the water fully, that arm now —

Although she teasingly raised her eyebrows, she was definitely convinced that he was more than just enjoying taking risks and also a skilled captain. There was just something about him that told her sailing under his flag would gift you a rather adventurous life.

— helping to support her as they swam towards his ship.

The distance was not a far one for them to cross, but the push and pull of the waves added a minute or two to the otherwise smooth journey. It was far from his first time having to do this, or something similar. Life on —

— longer."

He teased, and flashed her a smile seeing her bare feet, before shrugging it off.

"And where were you headed?"

[𝑵𝒚𝒍𝒆 𝑮𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒎 @DeriveCorsair]

With a reason like that, the only thing that Nyle could do was laugh in return, a low amused sound that he was careful not to let spread too far.

"Those lessons must be dreadfully boring then. But luckily I'm the one that found you, so I'll let you sneak around for a while —

[𝓑ᵘᵗᵗᵉʳᶠˡʸ 𝓟𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴 @AHauntedVision]

Helaena accepts his answer with a laugh and a shrug, knowing that he certainly had more reason to be out here than her.

Glancing down at her bare feet, she has half the mind the flush in mild embarrassment. “Well… the castle was boring and I wished not to waste my time —

— experience it.

"Yes, my father was a merchant, as was his father before him."

Nyle mused, a light, warm smile crossing his features as he looked back at her.

"Not at all! Can you swim the rest of the way, or would you accept my assistance?"

[𝑵𝒚𝒍𝒆 𝑮𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒎 @DeriveCorsair]

"By all accounts, yes. Though one has to enjoy taking risks as well, if you really want to profit in times like these."

It was the truth, and all but the most naive of souls knew it as well, so there was no point in him purposefully obscuring that fact from her. Normally, he —

" and I assume you are brave and skilled enough?"

Melyssa couldn't hide a small grin on her lips while she looked over at the male. To be honest, it felt good to talk to someone else but servants, nobles or other ladies in waiting but someone who was more like her.

"Hunting requires quiet foot falls, you'd never catch anything if you alert the whole forest to your presence."

He mused, answering the silver-haired princess.

"But what of you? Hardly fitting for you to be sneaking around unattended."

[𝓑ᵘᵗᵗᵉʳᶠˡʸ 𝓟𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴 @AHauntedVision]

She was prepared for harsh words only to settle as soon as she recognizes who it is.

“Nyle…” She breathes out, “You nearly scared me. Why are you sneaking about the forest?”

Asking, as if she was not herself sneaking away from the castle.

— moment ruminating on her latter words, and reached out with his hand to rest over hers, brushing the back of it with his thumb briefly.

"You greated me with a pitchfork to my chest, and here I am drinking wine with you after. I'd say that you're rather interested company."

[𝑵𝒚𝒍𝒆 𝑮𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒎 @DeriveCorsair]

Those words did hold truth, and frankly he was in full agreement with them, so all he could do was nod, and give a small smile.

"Disappointed maybe, but you must have gotten that trait from somewhere, and he sounds like a likely candidate."

Taking a drink, Nyle spent a —

"The world hardly cares for men to act up. In fact most of you get celebrated for it when doing so..."

Just as he had gotten used to knowing her guards would be circling just out of view, they had known better than to try and disarm him, arakh visible at his side. A comfortable tolerance from both sides.

"For the ship and myself, lioness. A Captain still has his own wants."

[𝓜𝙮 𝓛𝙖𝙙𝙮 𝓛𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 @OfGildedGuile]

The lady lioness finds herself stepping up to him, her guards somewhere close enough to step in if need be. But far enough away to give Cersei her own space.

Smiling softly, delicate fingers dance over a spice box. “Shopping for the ship, Captain?”

[𝑵𝒚𝒍𝒆 𝑮𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒎 @DeriveCorsair]

— as far as he could see.

"Would you like to see it up close then? I might even be persuaded to let you board."

[𝑵𝒚𝒍𝒆 𝑮𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒎 @DeriveCorsair]

Her concern was touching, if a tad bit unexpected, and perhaps it was precisely for that reason that his gaze towards her warmed.

"Your kindness is appreciated. The war does make the difficult, but at the same time, difficulties can make it good for business, if one is both —

Melyssa gave him a soft nod when he introduced himself as a merchant and tilted her head to the side slightly while a frown could be seen on her features.

"A merchant you say? Then I feel sorry for you, merchant.

— be faulted for such curiosity. I had been drawn to ships since my youth as well."

Nyle smirked, and a likewise curious thought popped into his mind. Since it was his ship that had brought her out her, perhaps she would like to get a better view? There would be no harm in it, —
