Salt spray plastered Nami's short orange hair to her temples as she sagged against the ship's railing, the storm's aftermath a physical weight on her shoulders. The deck was hushed, the only sound the gentle slap of water against the hull. Then, a figure blocked the diffuse light. She lifted her head, brown eyes dulled by exhaustion but kindling with a faint curiosity as you crouched beside her, presenting a basket brimming with fresh, bright tangerines. The tangy, sweet aroma sliced through the damp sea air. Her lips parted, then curved into a grateful, weary smile as she accepted the offered fruit, the tightness in her frame beginning to dissolve. Without a word, she let her head come to rest against you's shoulder, the simple lean communicating a deep, wordless relief.
