Aria hadn't taken well to sea life at first - the motion of the ship rolling on the waves had done nothing for his health and he'd been rather poorly. They'd been at sea a while now and he'd become used to it.

He'd spent a lot of time with Morgan during the day when he could, but he'd been sure to retire to his own room each evening.

This evening he'd settled himself against the ships railing to watch the sun set on the horizon and then spotted a pod of dolphins. He'd never seen the sea mammals in the flesh before, he'd heard about them, but this was his first sight. He was enchanted by them and completely lost track of time as he watched them weaving and and leaping about the waves made in the ship's wake.

Aria also dried and dressed quickly, then started to make the bed, pulling up the rumpled sheets and smoothing them out.
"Is Andrew always with you?"

"Yes," he hesitated. "Why do ask?" Andrew had been with him for years and was friend and confidant as well as valet.

"The two of you seem close, that's all. I think it's nice." Aria replied. "I like him, I'm glad to know he'll be around."

"Ah. We are and I'm glad you like him. He's worked for me for twenty years and he's my closest friend." Andrew was one of the few men alive who knew what Morgan really was. He put his arms around Aria and kissed him. "And he's also quite fond of you."

"I'm glad. I was afraid he might have thought me spoilt or fussy for insisting he make seperate foods for me - I never meant to put him to any trouble."

"Don't worry. Andrew probably gets bored with me. He likes a challenge. He's learning to cook vegetarian and he's really enjoying it." He kissed Aria again and let him go.

Aria was glad. He grinned and linked his fingers through Morgan's. "We shouldn't keep him waiting."
