A girl with white hair walked into the boat quietly. She seemed pretty young and seemed to really be the only girl on the boat.
She didn't say anything to the men calling her a prissy princess or the ones telling her that she should just go back home. She rolled her eyes quietly. She sat on top of the deck, despite the taunts, reading her book quietly. The boat had began to sail and she was super caught up in her book. However, once a strong of wind blew, her pages moving about she looked around, taking notes of her surroundings. She sniffed the air a bit and then looked at the sky. The seagulls were swawking about something. She tilted her head. There is going to be a huge storm tonight..' She thought to herself, and no, she didn't just mean the approaching storm. She felt as though this entire night would be a drag.
One of the men scoffed. They were talking, she knew they were, as she could see their lips moving, but she couldn't hear them. They were throwing taunts at her again. Someone came to her defense, a blonde-haired male who looked a bit older than her. He seemed calm as he spoke, which pissed the other guys off. Of course, he didn't pay much attention to what exactly he said. Something about how they should be spending their time worrying about themselves. She sighed a bit when she saw their reactions. The blonde looked toward her, and so did the other men. She made a noise. This girl was capable of noise making.
"I appreciate the help, but it was unneeded." She said, bookmarking her place. "What did you say you cocky brat?" One of the men yelled. "I'm not cocky. I just simply meant there was no need to intervene. I was too busy reading to even notice what you were saying. Your opinion isn't my priority, finishing my chapter was." She said. The man hissed and stood up, taking her book. The boat shook a bit because a small wave and the man fell over, dropping the book. She walked over and grabbed her book.
"I'd appreciate it if you didn't touch my property." She hissed. She seemed a bit pissed. He touched her book. This meant war. She saw the bookmark on the ground and let out a small whine. "Now I need to find my place again-" she said in disappointment. She picked up the bookmark before it could fly off. The blonde-haired one seemed to be speaking words to her, but she wasn't paying attention. She was thinking about finding her place back in her book. She left him there, not having heard a word he said, as she headed down into the deck so she wouldn't be bothered.
She kind of just chilled there reading until people started coming down because of the storm. She was laying down on the floor, yes, the bare, hard floor. Despite the rocking, she didn't seem too bothered. She was too caught up in her book. She was just getting to a good part when she noticed someone had been trying to get her attention, and only because they tapped on her arm. She looked up. It was one of the sailormen. He looked rather weak.
She thought for a moment. "Kazuto, correct? Did you need something?" She asked cluelessly. The male seemed rather surprised that she remembered his name, seeing as they've only exchanged small words so she could get a few apples.
"The captain would like to see you four.." he muttered. "Ah, very well." She said, bookmarking her place. If it was a request from the man who brought her to her destination, she couldn't refuse. Though, she hates to part with the beautiful words inscribed on that page. If she could only read just a bit more, she'd be in heaven. But, she knew that 'bit more' would turn into a few pages, then a few chapters, then the entire book.
She followed him with the blonde from earlier, a kid who was around her age, and some teenager attempting to look like a middle-aged man. She had her bag with her, which had a few books in it and the apples Kazuto gave her. She took a bite out of one of her apples as they walked. They eventually made it to their destination, the five floating in.
