*Audra was a little embarressed at being caught in such an intimate conversation but laughed at the look on Gryffon's face.* "It's for your own good you know...

Gryffon must have made a amusing face because Audra began to giggle at him. Shaking his head muttering, he drank down the drink. He shuddered and leaned against the cave wall as he felt a bit woozy.
He looked over Audra with hooded eyes as he asked, "If its for my own good, then it should be sweet tasting. That way I can enjoy it....."

"If its for my own good, then it should be sweet tasting. That way I can enjoy it....."
*Audra shook her head a little.* "Not everything good is sweet and harmless..." *She smirked slightly, lifting her hand to gently place it on his cheek.* "You should get some rest... I've kept you long enough as it is..."

Gryffon placed his hand over hers and kissed the inside of her hand again. He looked into her eyes as he said, "You haven't kept me up long....And I feel much better talking with you than I shall resting..."
He wondered fleetingly what she would taste like as she licked her lips. Without a second thought, he leaned forward and gently pressed his lips over her soft ones.

"You haven't kept me up long.... And I feel much better talking with you than I shall resting..."
*Audra looked into his eyes for a moment, but before she could think of anything to say in return, he leaned forward, pressing his lips to hers. At first she was quite shocked but she quickly recovered, her eyes closing as she leaned in and returned his kiss. In that moment she knew that she wasn't going to be able to protect herself from this man... That she was taking a great risk... But she couldn't have cared less...*

Gryffon slanted his head, kissing her deeper. Licking her lips, he pulled away and looked into her slightly dazed eyes. He smiled and tucked a strand of her hair back into its place.
He closed his eyes and tried not to smile....but failed. He gave a mock glare at his crew memebers who hooted and gave one or two cat-calls at the couple. He leaned close to Audra and whispered into her ear, his lips brushing her ear shell, "What I would give for a bit of privacy right now...."

*Audra blushed and laughed softly at the reaction of the crews... She would have to yell at them later for being so nosy. It was odd to be caught acting like a normal woman instead of a strict captain. Still, she was too happy at the moment to mind it much... She noticed that one member of her crew didn't seem quite so joyous as he glared at Gryffon. However, she didn't have time to think on it much before Gryffon leaned in close, his lips gently brushing against her ear as he whispered.*
"What I would give for a bit of privacy right now...."
*Audra's eyes closed for a brief moment, a light shiver running down her spine at his voice and the intimacy of it all.* "Mm.. That makes two of us..."

Gryffon's eyes darkened as he gazed at her but softened when she tried to stifle a yawn. He placed a soft kiss to her forehead, "Sleep. You need it as well."

"Sleep. You need it as well."
*Audra stubbornly shook her head although she was growing weary from all the excitement of the day.* "No... Not until I'm sure that you're going to be resting..."

"In that case, I'll rest along side with you." Saying so, he lay himself back down on the make shift bed and closed his eyes with a sigh.
He wouldn't admit it openly, but he was quite tired, even if the ache from the bump on his head had reduced.

*Smiling a little, she slowly lay down beside him. She winced slightly as her arm shifted in the sling but managed to get comfortable, closing her eyes. For a few moments she just lay there, thinking of everything that had happened... The more she thought about it, the more she became confused by her actions and emotions. However, she eventually drifted off into her normal, fitful sleep.*

Brigil sat by the joined crews, most of the eyes were riveted to their Captains who lay sleeping. But their facial expressions varied. Some of them were grinning, some were shaking their heads bemused, a few were not happy with what was happening and a few were openly glaring at them.
Brigil looked over at Mister Conway who's expression she couldnt phantom and asked, "What are you thinking of Mr.Conway? They don't bode well for you and your crew perhaps?" She asked nodding towards the couple.

"What are you thinking of Mr.Conway? They don't bode well for you and your crew perhaps?"
*Ramsey glanced at Beauregard who sat in a corner of the cave, watching Audra and Gryffon closely. He shook his head and looked to Brigil.* "Not for some of us... Don't get me wrong, your captain seems to be a good man... Most of us are just worried for Captain Morgan. This isn't the first time some of us have seen her with a man... But last time the results were... well... devastating. It's not my place to speak of that part of her history so I won't say much more on the matter. Some of the ones closest to Audra seem happy enough... It's been a while since she's been so laid back. And then of course some of us..." *He shot another glance at Beau.* "Are just selfish and have just received a major blow to their pride..."

Brigil nodded, "I see. That would explain the hostility which is so thick in the air." She looked at Gryffon and gave a wry smile at his peaceful expression. She leaned closer towards him and said, "Just between us, Gryffon hasn't had it easy in that area either." At his questionning and curious gaze she continued, "He was engaged to be married a few years back. But she insisted on accompanying him on a trip. He resisted but finally gave in...."
Her eyes lowered as well as her voice as she continued sadly, "Another ship attacked us. Pirates though we may be, but all of us abhore the spilling of innocent blood. They....they took her with them. I...won't say what they did to her. But she came back, her mind and body broken. Gryffon blamed himself for not protecting her."

"Gryffon blamed himself for not protecting her."
*Ramsey frowned, glancing at the couple.* "Then perhaps your captain's in for more of a fall than ours..." *He gravely looked to Brigil, wondering if he should talk of Audra like this. Still, she had just shared Gryffon's past.* "Audra's lover was the one to destroy her... The one that turned her from an innocent woman into a harsh captain. He's a pirate captain just like your Gryffon... Only he earned himself the nickname Blood Water the night that he killed Audra's parents and a good piece of the crew..." *He paused a moment, remembering that night... He had only been 15 and brand new to the Tempest crew. He shook the thoughts off.* "Anyway, Audra now hunts for him every New Moon... And he hunts for her too... We've only managed to find them twice and each time Blood Water's avoided death... But Audra's cut it pretty close both times..." *He turned his head when he heard Audra give a soft moan in her sleep and shifted a little. He sighed and shook his head.* "I thought maybe being near someone like Gryffon she might stop that... At least she isn't screaming yet..." *He shuddered slightly and turned his head away from the captains.* "Perhaps this union is more dangerous than I thought."
