Jean sat back "Hm that wasn't exactly the answer I expected." He took another bite. "So have you ever been out on a boat as fine as this one."

Bella sighed softly and almost gave him a bland look. "You're asking such a question to the daughter of the Commodore... Who apparently owns the finest ships in the land." She explained easily, studying him for a moment.

Jean laughed "He obviously does't if my baby out ran him. So I'll ask again ever been on a ship as fine as this" This time he started laughing and looked at her in hopes she would find it funny also.

However, Bella didn't find it funny at all. Her only hope had not been good enough,and she didn't quite enjoy the knowledge of such a thing.
"Speed is not the only important factor..." She chimed in, and then looked away from him once more. Her expression held only annoyance and a bit of fatigue.

Jean just looked at her blankly as if trying to figure out something else to say "Ya know your a hard shell to crack."

"...Thank you." Bella mumbled softly, still keeping her gaze away from him. She wondered if they would ever come back with some form of clothes for her. At this point, she just wanted sleep and to forget about all of this. But, she couldn't even trust herself to sleep here...

Jean laughed "At least your funny. Well I'm done eating how about we head back to our room I'm sure one of my men has found something for you by now." Jean stood up and led her back to the room.

Bella did not quite like the sound of 'our room', but she did not say a thing about it. She was too tired to argue and only stood up obediently. She followed him, her eyes down to the dampened floorboards and her arms were crossed upon her chest as they walked in the room.

Jean motioned in her first. "I'll let you get changed in privacy. I can trust you in my room by yourself right."

Bella gave an airy wave of her hand, just basically agreeing with him. She didn't feel like causing trouble, and it wasnt as if she had anywhere else to go..

After a bit, Bella had managed to loosen her corset a great deal. She sighed and pulled off the skirts, replacing them with the brown pants that were given to her. They tightened and frilled just below her knee. The shirt was a cream poets shirt which was big on her, an the front came down to show her corset. She sighed a bit and tucked it messily into the pants, not really caring. "Yes," She mumbled, folding up her skirts.

Jean walked in and whistled "Now theres a pretty site. So I'm guessing you wanna get some rest?"

Bella almost twitched at hearing Jean. But, she fought to contain herself and went back to folding her things. She only nodded in return.

"Alright since you had a tough day I'll let you have the bed if you want." Jean layed out a blanket on the floor for himself and pulled an extra pillow from a cabinat above the bed. He blew out the canldes in the room and laid down. "Night"

Bella had not been expecting the quest for the bed to be as easy as it was. Part of her was waiting for some smark remarks, or the threat of having to sleep in the same bed. Sighing, she climbed into the bed and curled up under the sheets. It was not home, and she was hesitant to fall asleep, but it would have to do...

Jean woke up the next morning and Bella was still sleeping. He walked out onto the deck and it was still dark out; no one was awake even his look out was snoring in the crows nest. He sat by the tip of the boat and looked out over the morning fog as it lifted off the sea. It reminded him of when he was younger, this was always his favorite time of day. He usually sat here until everyone woke up and started asking for that days list of duties.

Bella had not found sleep until late into the night, so it had only been a few hours before Jean woke up. She sighed quietly as she rested and curled up tighter as she felt the breeze from the open door. So, she pulled the blankets up closer to her neck.

Jean started to reflect on the past day. He wondered if he was jumping in water far too deep to swim in. He didn't know whether or not it was right to try to make friends with Bella because if it came down to it he would have to kill her, his note did say 'If you don't pay I kill the girl' he had hoped it wouldn't come to that. He also was unsure of whether or not to share that little part with Bella but he figured she already had too much on her mind. Jean liked her determination and admired her spirit he only wished they could actually have a conversation. He wondered to himself 'Is there any way to get her to lighten up or even just talk.' He was stuck at a crossroads it was either be her friend and get her to talk if at all possible or be cruel and mean and have her forever scared by this moment in time but make his job easier. He knew if it weren't for the fear of being thrown over board the other men would already be making fun of him for trying so hard to be friends with a prisoner. For the first time in Jeans life...things were complicated. He didn't like it but at the same time it added a new thing in his life. Jean stood up and said "I guess I'll just have to wait and see what becomes of this new found adventure."

In time, Bella became annoyed with the breeze that pooled into the room. Her brow furrowed and a soft groan fell from her lips. In her mind, she was still at home and someone had left the d*mn window open...
Sighing heavily, Bella pushed her eyes open, and was instantly confused when met with an entirely different ceiling. Blinking, she recalled yesterdays events and groaned once more.
Moving her hair from her face, she looked about the room and was curious when she did not find Jean. Raising a brow, she pushed herself out of bed and fixed her shirt the best she could as she quietly slipped out of the room.
