Ship: Deshavi/Ymira/the Captain (PC), from Mount & Blade Words: 241 Notes: This scene has been living rent-free in my brain for months, so it's nice to finally get it written down.
---
It's been a long day, filled with Emissaries and Proclamations and whatnot, and you would love nothing more than to get to your tent and get to sleep.
But first, you have to get past them.
Ymira speaks first, then Deshavi, their voices overlapping and blending into a continuous echo:
"Captain!"
"Captain!"
"Captain!"
"Captain!"
"Captain!"
You finally give in and meet Ymira's gaze, to which she says, "Hi!"
Deshavi just... giggles? Deshavi giggles?
Deshavi giggles.
You glance at her, then back to Ymira. "I need to speak with you in my tent. Alone."
Deshavi leans over to her and whispers something inaudible before dissolving back into incoherent laughter.
Once you're safely indoors, you turn to Ymira. "About what just happened -"
Her face abruptly falls, and she stammers out, "I'm sorry, Captain, it won't - that wasn't -"
"Wait."
She waits.
"Ymira, I don't know what's going on between you and Deshavi. Frankly, I'm not sure if I want to find out. But what I do know is that you made her laugh - you made her laugh, Ymira, in a way I haven't heard her laugh since the day I met her."
Her expression softens into something incomprehensible. That's fine. You don't need to comprehend it.
"Whatever you were doing, keep doing it. That's an order."
"Yes, Captain!" Ymira snaps to attention, and then, at your nod, leaves you alone in your tent.
You'll dream about them again tonight. That probably doesn't mean anything.
