"Dropping off some fruit for breakfast," Rachel said, setting the collection on the table.

"Well, that was nice of her." Hook blinked. He wasn't used to people doing random things like that. "Well, if you don't want that, I've got enough food for us for breakfast."

"We can share," Rachel said, pushing some fruit at him. "Have a little of both."

Hook nodded and handed her a knife so she could slice the fruit while he worked on making the other part of their breakfast.

Rachel took the knife and began to (albeit cautiously) slice the fruit. She wasn't confident in her knife skills at all, and worked slowly so as not to take off any of her fingers.

Hook set plates on the table once he was done, letting her have her pick first.

Rachel took a few bits from the plates and half a piece of fruit.

"Tina always knows how to pick the best fruit," she said, taking a bite. "It's always perfect."

Hook snorted. "That doesn't surprise me," he said, starting on his own breakfast. "At least I know you'll be well-fed on your trip."

"Tina takes good care of me," Rachel said softly, nodding. "She always has."

"Good." Hook smiled a bit and ate the rest of his breakfast in quiet.

"Well, I suppose you'll be off, then."

"In a bit," Rachel said. "I need to get dressed."

Hook snorted and muttered something that might have been "you look fine to me" but he didn't say anything else, just cleaning up from breakfast.

Rachel blushed a little, but went to get dressed anyways. She emerged a few minutes later, dressed and ready. She grumbled a bit as she pulled her hair back. It was now down to her thighs, much longer than it should have been normally.

Hook noticed and couldn't help the amused grin that twitched his lips. Really, not his fault.

"I think she's outside waiting for you."

"Probably," Rachel said. She finally gave up on her hair and went over to him. She hugged him. "I'll be back in a few days."

"Alright." Hook pulled her closer, unwilling to let go for a few moments. "Be safe."

"I'll try," Rachel promised, snuggling closer to him.

Hook held her there for several moments before he let go with a little sigh.

"Go on, before I decide you two need an escort."

"We'll be fine," Rachel said, reluctantly letting go as well. She picked up her bag. "I'll be back soon."

Hook nodded and watched her go. Now he'd have to think of enough things to keep him busy for a few days.

Tina was waiting for her, sitting on the dock calmly. She knew Rachel would come out eventually.

Rachel went out to meet her friend, smiling.

"Ready to go?" she asked, brushing her hair back. She hadn't managed to get it tied back properly, so it was loose and everywhere.

"Yup." Tina paused when she saw Rachel. "Need some help with your hair? I can braid it before we go."

"Please?" Rachel asked. "It's totally unmanageable. I can't braid it myself, and it's hard to even pull back."

"I've got it." Tina moved behind her, braiding her hair quickly and tying it off with a strip of leather. "There you go. Should be much better now."

"You have no idea," Rachel said. "Thanks so much."
