Lori hummed sleepily as she felt Ellie turn but remained asleep until she was kissed. As she woke, she couldn't help but giggle as she wrapped her arms around her wife and returned the kiss.

Ellie grinned when her wife woke and started returning her kiss. "Good morning," she murmured into Lori's mouth.

“Good morning, my lovely wife.” Lori giggled again, matching Ellie’s grin as she pulled away.

Ellie giggled too and smoothed Lori's hair with a gentle touch. "My lovely wife," she repeated with different emphasis, still smiling like a madwoman. She was so in love with the woman in front of her.

Lori smiled like a love-drunk fool as she leaned into the touch. “Yes.” she sighed, placing her hand on top of Ellie’s.

Ellie continued to use her fingers and stroke Lori's hair while placing a soft kiss on her nose. "My siren," she cooed.

“My princess.” Lori purred back, giggling at the kiss.

Ellie kissed the tip of Lori's nose again and smile at the adorable giggle her wife made. "You're my princess," she murmured. However, before she could continue, a roll of thunder cut her next words off.

Lori smiled again at the kiss as her face turned red. “You pirate. You keep stealing my names for you.” she teased, not minding the thunder very much at the moment.

Ellie grinned. "And what are you going to do about it," she teased. "You're my pirate."

Lori grinned mischievously and rolled so that Ellie was pinned beneath her. “Aye. That I am.” she said as she leaned down and captured her wife’s lips in a kiss.

Ellie's eyes widened, and she grinned before she let Lori's lips dominate hers. She hummed happily into the kiss and tilted her head slightly to deepen it. A large wave struck the side of the ship, causing the former princess to jolt in surprise.

Lori smiled into the kiss and hummed softly at Ellie’s response. But she pulled away quickly as she felt her ship lurch beneath them and looked out the window. “I’m afraid we'll have to cut this short, my love.” she said apologetically. “I need to see how bad this storm really is.”

Ellie whined softly, but she nodded with understanding. "Alright, my darling. Do you need me for anything, or shall I remain in here?"

“It would probably be safer if you stayed in our cabin until we know for sure how serious this is.” Lori sighed as she got up and started putting on a couple more layers of clothes. “If you need to come out on deck for any reason, there should be a long coat and spare hat you can wear.”

Ellie sat up and watched her wife get dressed. "Alright," she said, trying to keep the worry out of her tone. "Be safe, my darling. Promise me."

Lori smiled softly at her wife and sat on the edge of the bed as she put her boots on. “I promise, my love. This isn't the first storm I’ve sailed through.” she said with a small smirk before kissing Ellie’s cheek. “I'll be fine.”

Ellie smiled softly and closed her eyes. "I know," she murmured. "But I still fear desperately for you, my love. It's a comfort even just to hear you promise."

Lori sighed and kissed her cheek again. “I won't leave you. Especially not so soon after having you back in my life.” she promised before standing and putting on her hat. “I’ll have Marc or Jax check on you if I have to stay on deck for a while.”

Ellie opened her eyes and sighed. "Thank you. My darling wife," she murmured, smiling as she watched Lori don her hat.

Lori smiled roguishly as she met Ellie’s blue eyes, tapping the brim of her hat before she opened the door to the deluge outside.

Ellie smiled sweetly before Lori disappeared out the door. She sighed and stood up to get dressed herself in case Lori sent in Jax or Marc.

“Oh, bloody hell.” Lori grumbled as she climbed the stairs to the helm. “Jax! Why didn't you get me? How big have these waves gotten?”

“Gist got this strong, Cap’t.” Jax answered. “We can handle it. T’e waves ‘ave gist started reaching t’e deck.”

“Tie down the sails! If the wind gets any stronger, we could lose them.” she said, taking over the steering.

“Aye, cap’t.”

Ellie slipped into a soft grey gown and hurried to sit back on the bed. She kept an eye on the storm out the window and breathed deeply.

Lori gripped the helm tightly as another wave slammed against the hull. “Marc! Check on, Ellie! Make sure that she's not too worried or shaken up by the storm.”

“Aye, Captain.” Marc nodded, quickly running to the cabin. Though he slid a little and slammed into the wall next to the door before he knocked.
