"I never said I was gonna feed 'em to you," Izzie laughed as she disappeared belowdecks. She was still smiling as she slipped into the galley and hunted around for the nearly spoiled apples--it didn't take long, they smelled strong--and snatched up an empty sack that had once held potatoes to start piling them in.
It took her a few moments to realize she was humming softly to herself, and when she did she actually paused, blinking. Huh. She hadn't done that in a while...
It was--well, sort of strange. Much as she enjoyed the more carnal aspects of the new dynamics to her relationship with Gar, she rather abruptly realized that she'd also missed just...being with him. Since taking over for her father, the responsibilities of captain had kept her so busy she sometimes didn't even have time for sleep, much less a fishing day trip.
And she realized she'd missed it. Missed him. Missed being able to just skive off in a dinghy for the day, or climb up into the crows nest and watch the skies without worry of what the weather might bring for her ship, if she'd have to control it, knowing that someone else was down below making all those decisions.
With a quick shake of her head Isabeau tried to put the thoughts from her mind, hurrying back up on deck. She smiled, hoping it didn't look forced, and tossed the bag of apples into the boat as she approached.
"Alright then. Been a while since we've done this, first mate, you sure you remember how?" she asked with a crooked smirk, rocking back on one heel.
