Axel nodded and smiled at her, "yeah it is always the new ones but when the new ones come they bring different skills that I can use. So I am happy to have them on the ship even though they are annoying in the beginging." he said as he looked at her. Everyone on his ship had a skill that was usefull and he knew he coudlnt' do half the stuff he did without them. "and I am glad htat you think I am a good leader. I was taught to be a good leader by my dad so it menas a lot to hear you say that." he said as he looked at her and smiled.

Axel smiled when he saw the blush and was glad that she was doing a good job. "well now you can say that you have steered a ship." he said as he smiled at her. He then looked up at the sky and nodded, "your right it is beautiful out here. Infact when ever I am on land I miss being on a ship because of this. You cant see the stars as wella s you can out here." he said as he looked up into the sky.

She grinned, "You can almost think of them as siblings, annoying yet so handy" she said smiling. Though she had never had a sibling before she knew what it was like, a few of the people she was close too on her home had siblings and they were always complaining, but they were also telling her how they would trade their brothers or sisters for anyone or anything else in the world. Max smiled, "Your dad would have been really proud of you." she said with a small nod. She yawned and rubbed her eyes, she was feeling tired all of a sudden.

Max laughed, "I guess I can brag about steering a ship now". Max looked at him, "So, you prefer the ocean over land?" she looked at Axel confused. How could anyone love the sea more than land? Didn't he ever get sea sick?! Max let out another yawn, "I think I should go to bed before I end up crashing this ship" she said laughing as she let go of the steering wheel and let Axel take his rightful place.

Axel laughed when he heard her and couldn't help but nod, "your right, they are like siblings. They are all really annoying, break things constantly and only listen to me." he said as he smiled at her and looked at her. He never had a sibling but he could imagine how it was like. He then nodded slowly and smiled weakly, "yeah, I wish he coudl see hwo things are going now." he said as he looked up into the sky. He wondered if his dad was happy dead.

When he saw her yawn he smiled and guessed that she was getting tired. he then nodded, "of course you can brag now, not many people get to ster a boat on there first or second day of being on a ship." he said as he smiled at her. He then nodded and looked up into the sky, "the land hasn't given me much to be happy about." he said simply and then smield as he took the wheel and then seemed to use some rope to put the wheel in a perminate position. "now then I will walk you to your room if you like." he said as he looked at her.

[[Terribly sorry for the late reply! ^^;]]

Max chuckled in unison with Axel. "Don't worry, he probably is watching you" she told him with a small smile. Max patted his arm kindly. She could relate with him, Max knew the pain he probably went through and was probably still going through. She followed Axel's head towards the sky, the world sure was a strange place. Max had never thought that she would be on a pirate ship helping the captain hunt for treasure.

She grinned, "I'm really glad nothing happened too your ship while I was steering this" Max said half joking and half serious. Max linked her arm with Axel's, "I think I would like that." she said admitting too him. She knew she would have probably gotten lost if Axel didn't escort her back too her room. "But before we go too my room..." Max trailed off grabbing the plate and spoon, she turned around grinning at Axel, she still had too return those too her.

((it is okay))

Axel smiled when he heard her and nodded, "yeah I think he is." he said as he looked at her. He couldn't believe that she as actually coperating with him and enjoying herself. Usually when he brought someone like her onboard they weren't happy till they got off. But now, with her, she seemed to actually be looking forward to staying on here for a little while. it was probably because she got protection for her village but he was happy to do so for her.

He then smiled, "I am glad you didn't break the ship either but I doubted that you would." he said as he smiled at her and was glad when she took his arm. He then nodded and laughed when she picked up the plate, "your right, we better give those back to her." he said as he lead her back to the kitchen. He noticed the lights were off and guessed that Beth was asleep. So he smield at Max, "just stick it in the sink, she will get it in the morning." he said as he smiled at Maz.
