((Haha, parties are good! :boogie:))
Laiden pulled back in surprise when Scarlett kissed him swiftly. Her soft, warm lips brought a darker blush to his face that was quite visable in the darkness. Ducking his head, he slid off the bunk. He would go to sleep . . . but only because it was late and the girl suggested it. He reached over to help secure the clasps about her wrists before backing away slowly. Without saying a word, he disappeared . . . only to appear again with his blanket in hand. Unfolding it, he draped it over Scarlett with his blush still just as dark. " 'night," he whispered, waving his hand lightly before backing out and making sure the door was locked. When the key was back on the hook, he sent a glance back to her . . . and then flickered away into the darkness. He never answered her question about seeing her again: it almost looked like he didn't know what she'd said. In that last glance, though, the answer was written: of course.
Laiden stepped back out onto deck just in time to see Alona dance for a few moments. Standing in the shadows, he watched . . . and then slid back into the hold. It was nice to see that the woman was so . . . nice. Slipping back up into the cot above his guardian, Laiden leaned over and watched the man sleep for a few moments before pulling himself up onto the cot. Curling up in a ball, he sighed lightly and closed his eyes.
That night dreams of Scarlett flit through his mind as he slept. Joseph was certainly peaceful thoughout his night of rest.
