Fantasy RP The Tale of the Shadow (Kkjib)

[RhysTheFirebird]

Azra slowly finishes his apple, relaxing. He leans into Zukata's warmth and closes his eyes.

 

[Kkjib]

Zukata looks down at Azra as he nibbles on bits of bread. He rests his chin on top of Azra's head, reveling in the silence.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Azra smiles, "If I didn't feel you, I would think you were gone. Why are you so quiet, Peanut Brain"

 

[Kkjib]

"Hey can I not enjoy the silence?" Zukata chuckles softly as he pinches Azra's cheek again.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Azra giggles, "You can, but it's still weird." He swats the other's hand away.

 

[Kkjib]

Zukata takes a hold of the hand that swats his away and intertwines their fingers.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Azra pauses and then looks up at him, "Kata?" He mumbles.

 

[Kkjib]

Zukata then pulls the hand he held up to his lips and gently kissed Azra's knuckles.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Azra blushes, "Well." He stands, "I'm going to go wake everyone and drag them from their hammocks. Lazy asses can't sleep in. I'm sure the ship would appreciate not having to do everything herself." He kisses Zukata's temples and strides from the dining space to the sleeping area.

"Wake up, lazy asses!" He snaps, brightening the main lanterns. "Just because you're on a ghost ship, does not mean you're on holiday!

 

[Kkjib]

Zukata slowly followed along. Hearing the soft groans of the crew as their sleep was interrupted by Azra.

Zukata stood by the door with a small chuckle. "You really are like a captian." He comments under his breath.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Azra turns and flips him off, before turning back to the men. "I don't know how many of you there are, but if I don't hear every single one of you on deck in fifteen minutes, you won't like what I'll do. This is not a vacation, and if you keep treating it as such, you'll lose whatever motivation and sanity you had before getting here."

 

[Kkjib]

Zukata walks up to Azra and pats his shoulder gently moving the man. "Alright I think they got it." He says as he starts to lead Azra out of the room. "You heard the man, see you up there." Zukata comments to his crew.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Azra nuzzles into Zukata, "Im sorry, I just. . . I know what it feels like. To know you're trapped. Doing things helps, trust me. If they lay around all the time, they'll feel worse."

 

[Kkjib]

"I know... but be easy on them Captain, hm?" Zukata teases softly as he gently kisses Azra's ear, still leading him up on to the deck.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Azra grumbles, "I'm not a Captain. I'm just trying to help them. If anyone's the captain, it's youm They're your men, not mine."

 

[Kkjib]

"Yeah... like a captain." Zukata chuckles. "Yes they're my men but... honestly they deserve someone better."

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Azra grumbles, "Zukata, they're your men, not mine. You're going to be the one to give them orders. I'm sure you know how a ship is supposed to be run." He shoves his hands into his pockets and then stalks off to his cabin, quiet.

 

[Kkjib]

"Of course I do... and yet you're the one barking iur the orders kitty." Zukata awnsers as he follows along.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Azra grumbles, "Stay on deck, I need a nap." He pushes the door open, rolling his shoulders, "Do whatever to out want, just let me nap."

 

[Kkjib]

"Ah wait." Zukata says as he hurries his steps to get right behind Azra. He then wraps his arms around the man's waist before kissing his temple. "Sleep well." Zukata adds after before letting go.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Azra leans into his slightly, turning to face him, "I'll try." He grumbles, nuzzling Zukata's shoulder before closing the cabin door behind himself.

 

[Kkjib]

Zukata hums softly to himself as he turns to his crew that had just walked on deck. "Alright! Let's get this ship in tip top shape!" He claps his hands loudly.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Azra flops face first onto his bed, nuzzling into the pillow and pulls his blanket close.

One of the crew members crosses their arms, "Where's th' blind man, Cap'an?!"

 

[Kkjib]

"Sleeping." Zukata awnsers softly as he walks up to stand infront of the small group, placing his hands on his hips.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

"He was the one draggin' us outta our hammoks to come work! Why the fuck ain't he workin'?" Another crew member asks

 

[Kkjib]

"Trust me... he worked enough this morning." Zukata hums under his breath before playing a hand on one of the crew members' shoulder. "We need to do our part. I'm sure this ship would love a little freshening up hm?"

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

The man grins and nods, "Fine. Don't mean I like it."

The first man grumbles, "If you're captain, why is he in the cabin?"

 

[Kkjib]

"Between us, as much as he denies it... he's more of a captain than I on this ship." Zukata awnsers with a sigh. "We're not on the Albatross anymore..." He comments softly, his voice trailing off before taking a breath.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

The man huffs, "He hasn't done anything to earn out loyalty like you thought, Cap'an." He looks at the others.

 

[Kkjib]

"I know... I know, but we're stuck here now, and don't worry I'll lossen him up." Zukata awnsers with a measuring smile before clapping his hands together. "Alright, let's get to work!"
