And so the rest of the trip to London went without a hitch. Upon arriving Raven immediately sought out Linda and Dashon, who were more than happy to see her safe and sound. Though, how much more excited her sister was to see her rescued by a Naval officer, being the silly woman she was.

"Oh my, to think my sister was saved by such a handsome and dashing man such as yourself! Playing the part of a dangerous pirate really was quite clever!" Linda squealed with excitement.
Raven sighed and took a sip of her tea, wondering just how far her sister was going to take this event in her mind.
"Oh Raven, was it romantic? Did he sweep you off your feet and carry you across a flaming pirate ship to bring you to his own?" She inquired dramatically.
"Not exactly. Although everything did happen in a most unexpected way." She replied vaguely.
Linda clapped her hands with ecstatic joy.
"Oh how exciting! Did you fall in love dear sister? He is quite handsome you know!"
Raven blushed scarlet red. "Linda!"
Her sister laughed and just turned to face Seth.
"I am just so thankful sir! There was not a moment that went by where I did not fear for Raven's well-being. Truly, I am so happy you brought back my sister safely..."
Then Linda suddenly burst out in tears. Dashon quickly came to her side, comforting his wife gently.
"I just could not believe you sacrificed your own life for me Raven. I was so scared, for myself and you. I was so ashamed of myself for not trying to stop you!"
Her husband nodded. "Indeed, she has been nearly ill most days with grief."
Raven smiled and gave her sister a soft pat.
"I never would have let you Linda. I took your spot willingly, and it all turned out fine. You need not feel bad any longer."
"So what now sir? Shall you remain in London?" Dashon asked.
Seth smiled and turned to her with a smug grin.
"For a bit, I think so yes."
Linda squealed again and squeezed her hand.
"I think he likes you! He means to stay for you!!" She whispered.
Raven laughed, feeling so content and happy.
"Well then, perhaps we should invite him to a party?"
Her sister's eyes grew big with awe.
"Yes! Oh yes Dashon, a huge party! We shall celebrate Raven's safe return and the rescue of her Naval officer! Oh can we pleeease?" She begged.
Dashon nodded without any hesitation.
"Of course my love, we can start planning it immediately!"
