Distant Future

Events

The morning we were to leave, was uneventful, with just the minor scare of losing my djinn. We found it, once Varon decided to stop playing his joke. We were then greeted by Barbarossa and his party at our boat. I smiled and made my way onto the boat, but got stopped by Barbarossa,

"Esra," he began, I blinked and looked to him, with a curious look,

"I look forward to your next visit, and I also wish to give you more research material," he said, and then some guards came over with 3 rather large chests, and put them on the boat,

I was shocked and shook my head at the sudden action.

"You've given me much knowledge, more than what I deserve Barbarossa!" I said, and stood my ground,

"A fine lady of your caliber needs everything to fulfill herself. That dream of helping people with the power of medicine stuck with me. If anyone could do it, I believe it would be you," Barbarossa said to me, with a firm voice, and I knew I wasn't going to win.

"Thank you, even though I don't deserve such kindness," I said with a defeated smile, he nodded with a smile that didn't hide his triumph. 

I bowed a bit and hurried to my room. I really wasn't comfortable with that smile, but I knew I couldn't flat out tell him to go bother someone else without offending him. Calming my breath, I sat on my bed, and my staff glowed gently.

"Queen, you must be exhausted," Varon's voice said to me, I nodded and flopped over.

"I have him to worry about, and now my wedding with Sinbad also," I said to him, raising my hand to look at my ring that glittered with the sunlight.

Soon Sinbad entered my room, with an uneasy look. I sat up while keeping my eyes on him. 

"Everything alright?" I questioned, he sat next to me, and hung his head,

"I'm exhausted from this trip," he said, I smiled a bit and put my hand on his head,

"I know the feeling Sin," I said and he glanced at me while taking my hand in his.

My gaze didn't waver, as he put my hand on his cheek and nuzzled it gently, and I stroked his cheek as he did. His gold eyes looked into mine, and they shone the color of honey, sweet and keeps you stuck there. We didn't look away from each other, as he moved my hand up, and gently bit my wrist, I was curious at what he was doing. We moved closer to each other until our foreheads were touching, our gazes locked on the other. The tension in the room wasn't bad, but it was there.

"Sin..." my voice trailed, and he put his hands on my cheeks, to which he smiled gently.

"Your eyes are beautiful, you know that," he stated and kissed my cheeks; a blush spread through my face and I looked away while he chuckled and pulled away.
