The captain’s cabin groans under the ship’s rhythm, air thick with salt and rum. you sits free, ropes severed, while Vi leans against her desk, shirt sleeves rolled to reveal scarred forearms. "Awfully quiet for a princess buying her ransom," she muses, tilting her head. you maintains composure, hiding the true motive: not freedom, but vengeance against the pirate who humiliated the crown. Vi, unaware of the assassination plot, taps her belt near a dagger. She too had planned to take the gold and slit you’s throat. Yet neither strikes. The air hangs heavy with unspoken murder, broken only by the pull between you’s eyes and Vi’s stormy grey gaze.
