Gryffon pulled off the blanket of his shoulders and placed it around her carefully. "I'd say you need it more than I do....What happened to my other shirt?" He asked bewildered as he stared at the navy blue shirt.

"I'd say you need it more than I do.... What happened to my other shirt?"
*Audra was about to argue that he should keep the blanket but decided against it... Instead, she focused on his question.* "Well... Um... It's around here somewhere... Couldn't have you freeze to death..."

Gryffon blinked, "Oh. I see." He took a deep beath, he was feeling quite better. Over looking the slight throbbing in his head.
He gazed silently at Audra as she played with the corner of the blanket. He started when she asked him something and he said a tad confused, "I'm sorry. Can you repeat that?" He hoped that she wouldn't ask why he was staring at her......

*Audra could feel his eyes still on her and reluctantly lifted her head. She was quite nervous about what she wanted to say. But Audra was never one to let important questions go, no matter how disappointing the answer might be.* "I said... Why...? I don't understand why you watch me... or worry for me..."

Gryffon closed his eyes briefly and shifted them to the small fire which crackled merrily as another log was thrown into it.
He had asked himself the same thing. He had yet to find a suitable answer for it. But he was sure of one thing and that he could tell her....perhaps.
He looked back her and said in a low, husky tone, "Well, maybe I like you."

*As Gryffon turned his gaze away from her, she dropped her head again, wondering if she had upset him with her question. However, moments later he looked to her again.*
"Well, maybe I like you."
*She looked him straight in the eyes, wondering just how to take that. Was he being sarcastic about that? She couldn't see any sign of that in his eyes. Her voice was rather soft and unsure as she spoke.* "Like me, hm...? A female pirate captain with a personality as rough as this storm?"

"Like me, hm...? A female pirate captain with a personality as rough as this storm?"
Gryffon's eyes twinkled as he said, "I like storms. Rough though they may be, but there is a dangerous and raw,riverting beauty in them." He hesitantly raised his hand to her cheek and whispered, "As are you."

*Audra closed her eyes as Gryffon's hand fell upon her cheek. Her heart was pounding in her chest but her mind was warning her... She had been down this road before. She slowly opened her eyes, staring at Gryffon. Would he ever hurt her the way Jacob had...? Her heart was screaming no but her mind told her not to be so sure. But as long as she didn't completely give herself to him, she couldn't get hurt could she...? A soft smile graced her lips as she leaned a little closer to Gryffon.* "As long as you can take the beauty with the danger... How could I not like you as well...?"

"As long as you can take the beauty with the danger... How could I not like you as well...?"
Gryffon smirked, "I wouldn't be a pirate if I didn't enjoy and revel in a bit of danger." He picked up her hand and placed a soft kiss on her palm.

"I wouldn't be a pirate if I didn't enjoy and revel in a bit of danger."
*Audra grinned a little at the feeling of his lips against her skin.* "Too true... But I'm not so sure that you've dealt with a danger quite like this one..."

"Too true... But I'm not so sure that you've dealt with a danger quite like this one..." Gryffon smiled as his hands sandwitched her between his. "Well then, I will enjoy dealing with it."

"Well then, I will enjoy dealing with it."
*Audra smirked, her eyes falling on their hands and then back to his eyes.* "I certainly hope so..." *She paused a moment, her voice dropping to barely above a whisper as she smiled at him.* "And for this storm... Let's both try to avoid falling tree branches, hm?"

"And for this storm... Let's both try to avoid falling tree branches, hm?" Gryffon chuckled merrily, "As you wish M'lady. And we will also avoid other ways from which we can get injured?"
He gestured at her arm with his eyes with a smile across his lips.

"As you wish M'lady. And we will also avoid other ways from which we can get injured?"
*Audra smiled and lowered her gaze again.* "Of course..." *She was beginning to wonder if she would be able to keep her heart closed enough to avoid letting him in enough to hurt her. What she thought would be a harmless bit of flirting was already eating away at her defenses.*

Gryffon started when Brigil came over with a smirk on her face. "Not to busy I hope Captain?" Gryffon growled at her, "Yes I am Bree. And I would suggest that you go back. Or else...."
She chuckled, "Just came to check on you. And to give you this." She handed him a small cup filled with a yellow concoction. "Erin said that you should drink this. It will ease the pain."
Gryffon nodded and took a sip and made a face. "Terrible!"
