Oranges; Sinbad x Reader

The Twelfth Voyage

There was five of them, and each sported an entirely different look from the other. we joined the group, a white-haired male, with tanned skin started to speak with Spartos.

"Spartos! Where have you been?! I was hoping to have a drink with you this morning, but you didn't stay after-" The man's green eyes landed on my figure before he stopped speaking all together. A knowing expression hung on his features, "Oh, I see~ Spartos I never would have guessed that you were such a ladies' man~" A blush as crimson as Spartos's hair covered the entirety of said male's face. "I'm only joking! He wouldn't make a move on a girl even if it was his own wife. Not like he has one yet, if you're interested~" Just like Spartos, a large hue painted my cheeks. "I'm Sharrkan, it's nice to meet you, Princess~" Sharrkan cooed, before taking my hand and kissing my knuckles.

"Come on lover boy, move out of the way! I want to see her! I want to see her!!" A young girl shrieked, before pushing past the flirtatious male. The young girl had a certain childlike nature to her. She was blond with large, pink eyes. From basic assumption, I thought she was a child, "Wow, you're so pretty! My name is Pisti!! It's nice to meet your acquaintance!!" After she said this, I knew this girl was no mere child. And that got me thinking. Why would Ja'far allow Sinbad to appoint a kid? I figured that there was no excuse Sinbad could give, so I figured the girl either had a great intellect or was older than she appeared. Nodding briefly at her to avoid saying something offensive, I looked over the other Generals.

Each of them caught my eye, however, the Imuchakk held my attention. I had read about their people before, but one of the things that fascinated me was their height. I would always wonder how tall they actually were, but at that moment, my question was answered. He had to be at least seven feet tall, and he was a burly man. "I don't mean to pry, but are you an Imuchakk?" I asked, feeling slightly embarrassed for being so forward with my question. The man smiled down at me as if he was honored to make my acquaintance. He looked so familiar to me that I couldn't help but stare, after a moment, two and two came together, "Oh, Hinahoho?! Is that you?" The familiar Imuchakk let out a hardy laugh, keeping his large smile. I couldn't help but reciprocate the action.

"So, the little Princess does remember me, eh?! Nice to know I haven't slipped your mind!" Hinahoho chuckled, before a dragon-like creature walked up to the two of us.

"So, this is the impoverished girl that he always babbled on about, correct?" The dragon stated bluntly. I knew he didn't mean any harm, but he still hurt my feelings to a certain extent; Nevertheless, I dashed those feelings aside as Hinahoho nodded excitedly. "Well, it is nice to meet you. My name is Dragul, and I am one of Sinbad's most prestigious Generals. I will not bother you with my entire name since it is quite the handful."

"I hope to learn it soon, Dragul." Giving a little, flustered curtsy, I faced the other Generals. One specifically came up to me with a small smile drawn on her features. Her glistening blue hair ran down her back like a clear waterfall, untouched by man.

"My name is Yamraiha it is very nice to meet you, Princess." Yamraiha greeted, giving me a modest bow with a soft smile on her face. Flustered, I put my hands up in defense as I tried to explain myself; However, nothing came out.

"No, no! The p-pleasure is all mine!!" I retorted nervously, as Yamraiha gazed at me with confusion written on her features. 'I might have said that a little too loud...' I thought, feeling a small, embarrassed blush cross over my features. Suddenly, I felt a soft pat on my back. Looking behind me, Spartos gave me a respective grin, as if he was telling me that I was doing fine. "It's just... it has been a long time since I have done this sort of thing. Of course, I have socialized, but I haven't been on a diplomatic mission in years, so this is a little rusty for me. What I meant to say was that the pleasure of meeting you is the real honor."
