[Chapter 9] WereWolf?

It was a beautiful morning as the ship sailed closer and closer to the lagoon nebula. The clouds shone a beautiful mixture of yellow and orange. The winds of the Etherium grew stronger as the hours of the morning went by. The strong winds rocked the ship until it woke up the Ursid who was asleep in the Hawkin's cabin. He felt extra warm that morning, and not just because of the sun that was shining through the window directly on top of him, instead, it was because of the werewolf who was lost in a deep sleep on top of him. He didn't dare wake her for both reasons, that she worked so hard yesterday and the fact that he enjoyed having her close. The cyborg still couldn't figure out why. The wolf started to stretch herself awake and yawned. Silver felt a little disappointed, he wished it could've lasted longer but asking her to stay longed was the last thing he would do, he didn't want to come off as a creep or manipulative to the poor girl. "Mornin' pup," he whispered softly as he wrapped his organic arm around her and tucked her hair behind her ears, only for it to fall back down again. She blinked at him, pushed his arm away and got up off the bed and stretched. Silver sat up,"is that me shirt?" She looked down at what he was talking about and nodded,"oh, sorry, you can have it back," she sleepily said while slipping her shirt off. Silver very quickly covered his eyes and looked away," no- no no lass it's okay! You're fine!" "Wha..? What's wrong?," she asked him, rubbing her eyes. "Jus' eh..put ta shirt back on...," he uncovered his eyes, still looking away. "Aye..," She slipped the shirt back on,"okay it's on." He looked back at her and stood up. "Would yous like somet'ing ta drink?," he asked her as he placed his hand on the door knob and started to turn it. "No...not really..i don't eat much before a full moo-....," she paused for a moment," a full moon...uh..Captain? Do you know when the next full moon is?," she looked up at him with a worried expression. He rubbed the back of his neck and shrugged,"I thinks...its tomorrow night....why?" She looked down,"Captain.. I'm a werewolf, remember? The whole full moon thing?" She waved her hands around. "Oh..i thought your kind jus' kinda stayed half wolf, half human all the time." She shook her head,"no.." He straightened his back,"that don't explain why the devil you won't eat!" "Yes it does! We fast before a hunt! To save up." "Hunt? What ya mean by that, lass?" "What do you think?!" He rubbed the back of his neck again,"well...cant ya jus' eat and not be as hungry for ta hunt?" She stared at him with a poker face then sighed,"I won't eat, and also..idk what were gonna do..i don't know how to control that side of myself yet." "Oh..," Silver rubbed his chin,"well i.. Hmm..," he thought of what to do," I can find a place where you can be locked up for ta night, we need to restock on food anyways." She nodded and hugged him,"Thanks, captain, I don't want to hurt you." He pushed her aside,"I'm gonna have to go find the nearest planet. You go mop the deck, there's still some blood under the helm." He pointed at her then towards the helm, she nodded,"so..i guess it's fixed now? I won't get out of hand?"  She shrugged to herself and changed into her regular clothes after he left, then started on her chores for the day.
