It had been some time since they had gotten away, she had recommandeered her ship and had booted the sailors off yet again, she and Raolvar were going to have a romantic get away in the land of the Kahis. Maybe specifically to the home of the Hapuna, they had a great vacationlike vibe at all times and she wanted some of that in her life. Besides the joy of being with her mate and raising their son, (she was still curious as to which path he would chose, she figured it was something special for him to wait so very long to decide it was pure torture), life had gotten really rather dull lately and she was hecking bored. Thus she had done something spontaneous and snatched her impossibly handsome mate off to do..relationship things.
She wanted him to have a good time and she wanted to as well, what better place than a lovely tropical reef get away. He had been amenable to the kidnapping he was probably just as bored as she. It was a long way there but they were approaching the end of the voyage and they would steam into port in a day she figured by the star charts.

From what she had shown him on the chart they were heading for a small Hapuna town called Ioke. It made sense as it was more open to the ocean than the other ports, he smiled when he thought of why she might like to go there. She needed a bit of a vacation from their life and he was more than willing to give it to her, especially as she had invited him to join. He thought there was not better place for relaxation than a beautiful reef town full of fish that they had never seen before. It would be fun to go shopping for dinner and they might drop a few lines themselves you never knew, the most important thing was that they were going to have fun together, he was so looking forward to that.
It had been a hot minute since they had done something just for the joy of it. Parenting took a lot of time plus they both made an income, she was getting back into the swing of things and he had noticed a corresponding uptick in her mood. She had missed her job.

What neither of them was expecting was a drastic drop in temperature.
"What that is rather frigid, I swear we were sailing mostly south.." She had to admit that she wasn't used to it.
"It feels like one of those ugly cold storms coming through." Well at least she had a stove in the room and Rao had a warm heart, that counted for something, she was sure. She smiled at the thought. "i think it might be time to stoke the galley and the furnace and get things warmed up in here."
She was captain and this cold front had moved in awfully fast, at least they were nearing their destination.
How miserable, oh well they would anchor and get through it, the sea wouldn't freeze it would have to be much much colder for longer. They were close to the port now if they needed they could make it no problem but the ship was equipped with furnace and galley stove which would produce enough heat to keep the cabin comfortable so they might as well enjoy the break from sailing.
In the meantime it had been some time since they had had uninterrupted them time and this was a golden frozen opportunity.

So what if they wouldn't reach land soon. If he couldn't yet walk on solid earth at least he got to warm up the cabin with Kechiri to ya know survive. He grinned rakishly.
"Okay by me~" He was very nearly a saint in front of their son but their son wasn't here and it was very very cold outside. It reminded him of zenan wind and he had thought those memories long ago burried. He bet Zena itself was in misery at the moment and counted himself lucky to be on a tropical voyage.
Once they were well anchored they crowded into the cabin kept warm by the hearth and fireplace. It was pleasant enough that he didn't need his cloak. The ship was well made and well insulated.
"Well, now that was have all of this lovely free time, just what should we get up to?" He grinned innocently and posed for her, hearing her giggle just encouraged him more.
"Maybe I'm the strong captain who just found himself a pesky stowaway?" He waggled his eyebrows at her. "Or am I displeased with my chefs cooking?" He stepped toward her, a leopard ready to pounce.

Nice to see he still had the ol razzle dazzle.
"Oh indeed, how should we keep this cabin warm?" She purred. She loved how loose he seemed. They both needed a good break. Despite the frigid temperatures outside it was like it was only them in here that existed in the whole world. She had waited so long to feel that way again.
"Come here you." She beckoned him closer. She placed a hand on either side of his torso.
"Oh I hope this cold snap lasts a long time then after we can explore that Kahi port." That sounded ;like a great time. Her eyes clouded and her thoughts travelled elsewhere.
"What were you saying about the stowaway?~"
-
They lay curled around each other, legs intertwined.
"Ya know what, I love the weather! Care for a bit of tea?" At this he mumbled affirmative, she got up and prepared the kettle. "Oolong, green or black tea?" She always had a variety, gifts from Grandma Nin who had the most legendary tea stash. It was a comfort ritual and something she practiced every single day.

His eyes glittered. "Black tea, I figure I will need the caffiene," He said languidly. They had so much to catch up on. It felt like he could really breath. Like all of his stress just faded away, like they had sailed away from all of their worries. It had been really peaceful the last few years but that made the release of regular parental worry all the more relieving. Vhallas was growing into a very fine young man and he couldn't be more proud. He sipped his tea gazing at her graceful movements as she then poured herself a cup.
Tea was so good and so soothing he usually enjoyed one with her. It was a beloved ritual. EvenVhallas would drink tea with them though all three also enjoyed coffee. There was something special about tea he figured because it was so much sweeter than coffee. Just like she was much sweeter than coffee though she hated to admit it. She would have everyone else besides him believe that she was the flavor of pond scum. But they all knew better.
He pulled her into his lap and they sat there contentedly in silence for a while. sometimes doing nothing at all was the best form of healing.

Look it was like a mini vacation before the big one. She was greatly enjoying it already. She stoked the fires again and their lovely crackling sound filled the air. "It's downright cozy." She plunked herself down in his lap.
"Entirely too plush for a pirate queen and her King Ranger. What else is royalty to do?" She sashayed her hips in the start of a dance she remembered well. IT was a good time. She had forgotten all about he cold with their antics in here.
Getting a spark of an idea she filled the bath and they washed each others backs. Life was bliss soon they were clean and smelling fresh and they were now ready for the next grand adventure.
"So what shall we do?" She was open to suggestions, wondering what wonderful spin off it would take with Raol's rich imagination. She was not disapointed either and she had to stifle a laugh with what he said next.

His eyes twinkled with amusement at her actions. She was being playful, how delightful to turn what could be a bad predicsment into something fun. He swung into the dance with her, twirling her around expertly. It was like they had practiced yesterday though it had in fact been quite a while since they had practiced this particular dance it always got their blood running. It felt good to move their bodies on a deeper, very serious level again. It was beautiful and they were their only audience, besides a very lost snaptrotter who looked perplexed and swam aways swiftly.
"I say we act out one of your favorite romance scenarios, I know the kind of books you read. We might not always have this kind of free time on our hands."
Anything could come up at any time. Besides he couldn't think of anything more fun to do then that. It was about time that they got to be playful with each other. That and he had to admit to a certain curiosity as to the contents of those her books.

Well no romance book nerd could say no to that, though she was determined to thwart him by trickery. "My favorite romance scene, let me think...She thought long and hard as she read a lot, patting her chin.
"Your pesky stowaway idea has some merit, but how about I am the Captain?" She eyed him. "Which makes you," she patted his chest, "the stowaway. I will however spare you the customary lashes," she batted her eyes at him.
"Stowaway, the cabin needs to be tidied." Her eyes glinted wickedly evil. "You know I read another one about a butler but we have no grapes for you to hand feed me." She said quite airily. "Be glad that this scenario is much more fun, and that we lack fruit."
She slid back into her best Captainy stance. "Chop chop stowaway the sea waits for no boy." She bit her lip to keep from giggling.

"Oh ho am I now? Surely I'd be handsome enough to barter passage on such a fine ship as this? Maybe my last mistress left me stranded at the port...hmm yes."
He hadn't had much cause to act in his life, but he did his best to slip into character. This would be a hoot he was sure.
He snorted at her annecdote. "Tosh now, don't break character." He waved a hand airily at her.
"Aye aye Captain!" he kept just the tiniest bit of angst in his voice to make it believable.
His reward was the answering sparkle in her eyes and he knew that he had hit his mark perfectly and that his performance was in face quite good.
He tidied the cabin. "What else would you have me do My lady?" He even gave a short stiff bow.
He may be laying it on thick but it was working. He could hear her stifle a giggle. He looked up at her with passion and joy blazing in his eyes. Why had they not done more of this so long ago. He was having the best time and they both knew they would like the finale whenever that came. Some things were as certain as the next wave. It was beautiful.

Everyone should have a partner willing to go to these lengths to make their shenanigans come true. He always brought such life to her day. All this from the man who's rbf made it seem like he was the biggest stick in the mud. However for her he was so much more and so much more fun!
"Oh you know, swab the deck?" She pointed to the cloth and bucket. "Then uh, make the bed." She leered at him, thoroughly enjoying being the villainess.
After that she would have to come up with something else because the cabin was actually really clean already as she ran a very tight ship.
"Shall I write of our discovery of you in the captain's log or would you like to make a deal and stay off the books?" Oh that was good! He was going to like that creative punchline. She was rather proud of it herself and took a moment to preen.

He gawped at her daring. What a giant brat she was. Pretty sage to say with both fires going they forgot the cold for quite a while. Eventually the weather broke but they stayed at anchor until the next day being too infatuated to break character too early. They explored as many skits as they could complete making each other giggle. He had a lot of fun, but he was exhausted by the time he steamed into the market with her on his arm.
It was beautiful here. Such different colors, different smells, both from food and the vegetation that liked Elehun. This was an open sea port so there were quite a few other ships at harbor and quite a few different species of kahi with a few earthlings and aishans about.
It really was an international vaycay vibe if he did say so himself and just in time too as he was ready to shed the worry and relax properly. And he could do that just a little bit better on solid ground. Besides there was much new nature here to see. He was so excited.

She snorted in a very unlady like manor. He looked so cute like that. Nothing surprised him, she called that a win.
In town finally, she took him as requested to a temple of the bitter bean which fueled their lives. She was having a great time with her mate. Honestly she needed the coffee too. Already land felt pretty solid after so long on the sea. It never bugged her, she never got sea sick, she preffered the roll of her boat, but there was something to be said about the convinience of fresh supplies on land.
And exploring this fancy new place with her man made her feel alive again, like something tight behind her eyes had released. Raol was a creature of backwoods and routine and yet here he was playing along and being her arm candy. She was so fortunate and he looked like he was having a good time too which made her feel even better about it all. She was travelling which she loved and she wasn't alone, she was with her favorite person. "I am glad that cold front came through as unexpected as it was"

Coffe made him feel much better, though it was definitely a different blend than he was used to. The flavour was earthy and strong and it made him just a tad confused as he was used to Matorian Cream coffee. It also had more nutty notes which were pretty good and balanced out the acidity. He was enjoying himself more than he had thought, maybe he should have agreed to this sort of adventure a long time ago. But well they had been very busy raising their son.
He waited until no one was looking and leaned over to whisper in her ear.
"Perhaps we should stop at one of your bookshops and pick up some more of those...books." He purred. After coffee they found some decent food and stuffed themselves. He enjoyed watching the other orders being cooked on many large woks over flames. It released the most fragrant smells into the air. That was what vacation was, time spent somewhere new with different food and hopefully a different mind set to top it all off.
"Me too." He smiled at her using all of his charm and handsomeness against her.
