Adeline was the first to wake up. She found her head on Eric's chest and her arms wrapped around his midsection in a hug. She looked up at his face and still found a peaceful expression written upon it. "Good morning, my husband," she murmured and kissed him lightly upon the lips to wake him. She was going to at least try to keep her promise to be a good and loyal wife.
Eric woke up to find Adeline kissing him on the lips. He was both puzzled and pleased by this gesture. When she broke apart from him, he sleepily answered. "Good morning, Adeline...why such the kind gesture?"
She only smiled and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Can't a wife please her husband?" She got up from the bed and went to her dresser to take out a skirt, a corset, and a blouse. It was the outfit that Eric gave her on the night of Yuke's birthday celebration. Eric was even more puzzled, and more pleased. What was she up to today?
Adeline got right away to changing behind the screen. She put on the skirt and blouse, now all she needed was the corset to be laced. "Eric, can you come here and lace this?"
Eric tried to get up from the bed, but his whole body seemed to be aching. Then, he remembered. The fight...the mast...Will throwing him overboard again. It was all coming back to him now. He made his way over to Adeline and started to lace her corset without a word. Adeline just kept on talking.
"You know, I think you should stay in bed, at least for this day. You must still be tired and in a little bit of pain," she stated calmly as Eric started to lace her corset.
"No, I will-" he tried to say, but Adeline cut him off.
"Please, I insist. You need the rest." When he was done, she turned around and entwined her fingers into his. "Listen to your wife, or at least try to. I will be fine, I promise." She walked him back to the bed and laid him down. "Do you need anything? Are you hungry?"
Eric was really confused by Adeline's kind gestures. Why was she being so nice to him? Then again, he was really pleased that they were finally not fighting about something. "An orange or some kind of fruit would be nice, my darling." He brushed a strand of hair away from her face and put it behind her ear. "That would please me."
"Coming right up. I will see you later." She kissed him again and walked out on to the desk to smell the sweet sea air. She saw Will walking out on the deck of the Night Raptor and called to him merrily. "Hello there, Captain Will. Did you have a good night's rest?"
Yuke also got up and sighed. It was a new day for more sailing to Singapore. He changed into some clothes, and went off to find some breakfast and order his men to get working.
