The ship had finally set sail across the magnificent waves of the ocean but of course that didn't end very well for you...
You immediately felt yourself grow sick from the movement of the ship
"Ugh...I hate this" you murmured under your breath with a huff before sitting down on one of the chairs on the rail side to look out to the waves which seemed to calm your stomach aches just slightly
Your eyes traveled across the waves, seeing them move along the surface to move the boat around which intrigued you just the slightest...it was so beautiful yet made you feel so sick yet you still tried to enjoy it by closing your eyes and listening to the sounds of the waves
The waves hitting the boat...
Water splashing
The cold breeze
Footsteps...
Footsteps?
Your eyes opened to see who was walking by just to see the same man that had helped you board the ship earlier
His face was coldly formed like you saw earlier and his eyes were trained on to your figure sitting on the chair by the railing, his orbs taking in your somewhat weakened form. You thought he was going to walk by across the ship but revelation he pulled a chair and sat down beside you with his face still locked on to yours
"What are you doing here?"
Levi's voice called out to you with his eyes still trailing across your figure in curiosity, noticing one of your hands that rested on your stomach
"Oh I just feel a bit sick...this is my first time on a ship" you murmured under your breath with a small pout forming on your lips at the reminder of why you were sitting here. Your hand rubbed the skin of your stomach to try and ease the building up sickness and you also didn't want to look bad in front of the man sitting by you
"Mhm...are you dumb?"
You snapped out of your trait of rubbing as you felt a hand place itself on your head to turn your face to the other side and you were met with Levi's steel eyes looking deep into your own orbs, his hand holding your head firmly. "Sitting outside wont help your pains, get inside right now"
"..." you were silenced by his sudden order not knowing how to react to his cold demeanor towards your sickness for ships. Was this him being kind or rough? Or both?
You heard him sigh loudly before his hands fell from the top of your head and back to his sides
With a flick to your forehead he stood up from the chair and disappeared into the insides of the ship
Your face flushed into both embarrassment and confusion, what was it with this man and his sudden interactions with you? It bewildered you but also sparked a sudden curiosity inside of you
Taking the chief's advise you stood up from your chair and put it back to its place before also walking inside to get some rest till the meeting was finally over and you could return back home
Most of the people were outside with drinks in their hands mostly alcohol beverages which isn't necessarily something you preferred
Opening one of the doors you were met with a large room which looked like a dining room and surprisingly there was Matthew and Leon sitting by one of the tables
"Oh? Are the two of you hungry?"
You asked with a smile on your face you sat down beside Matthew who was shaking his head from side to side indicating he wasn't hungry and Leon seemed to almost fall asleep causing you to giggle at the sight
Your hand brushed against Leon's hair with your fingers running through his strands gently not to take him out of his drowsy state
"We will be home soon don't worry" you softly said to the young boys in a reassuring tone
And with that time passed...
The clock soon struck 9PM and the meeting was finally over as multiple men walked out of the room where your brother last went in
You and the boys stood up from the chairs and walked over to your brother as soon as you saw him leave the room, he seemed pretty pleased with the topic that went through the meeting. "Father!"
The two young children ran up to their father with happy looks on their faces but anyone could tell they were also tired as were you. It was pretty late after all...
"Well then the meeting is over and the ship is back at the shore, come on lets go back home"
"Ah wait!"
All of you turned around just to see Squire John jogging up to you with a smile on his face before he halted in front of you, quickly catching his breath and then explaining his purpose
"I just couldn't let you leave without inviting you to my mansion very soon, I would love to show such a fine lady like yourself my stables!"
The formal elderly man looked at you with his smile remaining as he seemingly invited you to visit his properties to which you turned to your brother first to see his reaction
Your brother seemed to be thinking about the offer before giving you a nod which gave you the signal you needed so you gladly accepted the elderly man's offer
Your hand reached out to give the Squire a handshake in a formal and kind manner
A particular Chief looked at the interaction with his glare hardening with each second passing by
Levi badly wanted to just pull out the revolver out of his pocket and blast the brain out of the squire that was touching you...and you...god the things he wanted to do to you
He just needed the chance
With his knuckles turning white from the tightened grip on himself, he cursed under his breath in anger before he stormed off away from the ship
