The Wind's Will

[Shura]

"Nothing serious really..." She muttered not wanting Morgause to worry about her. "Was clipped by the sword when I enraged the swords man. He was very stubborn and wouldn't stay down." She explained. She frowned slightly at the mention of the long bow, "Sorry, in all of the rush to get out of port my sword and your bow were left behind. Should be able to replace them at the next port though... it another large traders town, I've only visited it a hand full of times but it had several weapons smiths by my last check..." she thought aloud.

There was a knock on the door and Cameron regretfully pulled away from her lover to answer it. There was a subtle stiffness to her moments that gave hints that she was in some pain though it didn't show on her face. The captain opened the door to one of the workers from the kitchen holding a tray with some bread and more stew. She thanked the woman before returning back to the bed. "We're lucky to have stocked up before leaving port. Should help a lot to recover." she smiled slightly

[Kharmin]

Morgause's spirits sank a little at the loss of her longbow. True, it was replaceable, but she had had this last one for what... two years? It was so difficult to find a good longbow these days now that most used pistols or rifles.

She didn't notice Cameron's painful walk to the door; Morgause had slumped into the space vacated by the captain and reveled in her warmth and scent. She pulled her cover over her shoulder as the door opened and the meal was brought into the cabin.

After the food had entered the room, Morgause reached for the captain's shirt that had been tossed at the foot of the bed. She donned the shirt and playfully slapped Cameron's hands away as she moved, with great and tired effort, to sit upright to be able to eat.

"I think I can manage," Morgause said with a small smile. She was slowly beginning to feel more like herself; her coy and playful manner when alone with Cameron began to peek out from under her exhaustion.

[Shura]

Cameron chuckled glad to see Morgause playful side peeking through the exhaustion. "Alright, alright." she grinned packing off slightly but still sat on the bed beside the woman... just in case. She pulled the tray close and broke the bread in half taking a bite from her own piece. In all of her worrying and stress over Mogause condition she had forgotten to care for own own. Hopefully with the fever gone both could now recover. The broth was thick and hearty with small bits of meat and vegetable.

[Kharmin]

Morgause ate in silence, taking great pains not to spill or drip on Cameron's shirt. She was ravenously hungry, more so than she would have readily admitted. She barely even tasted the stew as she wolfed it down amidst bites of bread and long draughts of water.

She smiled as new life began to dance in her green eyes. With a toss of her head, she flung her straggled, tangled mess of hair over her shoulder and leaned her head on to the captain's shoulder. "Mmmmmm," she hummed while she chewed a hunk of bread. "Would that all of my meals be taken in such pleasant company."

Still, the activity of their dinner was exhausting, and soon Morgause found herself unable to stifle the repeated battery of yawns that assaulted her. "Excuse me," she managed after a long yawn. Fatigue glazed over her eyes. "If you have extra sheets, we should probably change these before I collapse back into your bed," she suggested.

Morgause yawned large again. "And what about this mysteriously hidden bath you mentioned?"

[Shura]

Cameron ate her meal quickly enjoying the stew and feeling much better with a full stomach. She glanced over to Morgaused ever so often smirking slightly as she ate her fill. She took one last long drink of her stew before setting her bowl a side with a satisfied sigh. She glanced over to morgause. "Well... it's not exactly a full bath like the on in the in." She replied with a sheepish smile. "A ship like this isn't built for such things but a basin of warm water and cloth works just as well. Besides I don't think soaking is a good idea untill your wounds fully close."

[Kharmin]

Morgause swung her bare legs and bottom from under the damp sheets in a manner more of necessity than seduction. Still, in her current fatigued state, the movement was made with certain grace and elegance that was befitting her satin, toned legs. She daintily stepped on the deck; the swell of the ocean rolled the ship gradually and Morgause weakly fell into Cameron's arms.

With a sly, tired smile, she whispered, "I didn't mean to do that, but now I'm glad I did.' She brushed a light kiss on Cameron's lips and eased herself away and into one of the chairs. "Perhaps I better not stand for a while," she added as she placed her head in her hands. "Sorry, I can't help you with the bed. I think I'll just sit here for a minute."

[Shura]

Cameron caught Morgause and eased her into the chair. "Hm might be best if you try not to for a little while." She replied placing a gentle kiss on Mogause lips unable to really help her self. She pulled back going over to the other side of the cabin to gather up some clean linens to replace the ones on her bed. She moved slower than usual, acutely aware of her moments from the ache across her abdomen. She tied to keep any twisting motion to a minimum which only annoyed her because she was so limited. It took a few minutes but the bedding was changed with the old ones tossed aside until they could be cleaned later.

[Kharmin]

Morgause, with a disapproving stare, watched Cameron re-dress the bed. When the captain had finished, Morgause said, "You are hurt more than you admit." She waited to meet the captain's eyes with her own to see that she spoke the truth.

"Call your first mate," Morgause insisted. "Tell him that you need your rest; I'm sure that he will understand considering your condition. I will have Tomas help me to my berth so that you can rest peacefully and regain your strength." Her tired, green eyes brokered no argument. "This ship needs its captain," Morgause continued, "so you need to heal and recover."

[Shura]

Cameron was touched by the concern but honestly didn't want to rest she was too restless. "I'm alright. It just hurts really... Hanibal already took over everything on deck and probably won't let me take the helm any time soon." She reassured "Besides I rather be the one to give you a bath. Might he as nice as the one back at the in, though I might have some whine somewhere." She chuckled keeping her tone light.

[Kharmin]

She gave Cameron a coy look. "Don't tease me, so, captain," she begged as a familiar sensation flooded her loins. Morgause was much too fatigued to fight her urges and was simply pliable in Cameron's suggestion. "I have no ability to fight or resist you; I am completely defenseless and open." To enhance her statement, she allowed her legs to slightly spread as she sat in the chair wearing only Cameron's shirt which barely covered to her waist.

"Whatever you're going to do," Morgause warned as she unsuccessfully tried to suppress another yawn, "you had better do it soon."

[Shura]

Cameron smirked slightly making her way over to the sleepy red head her own desire flaring to life, she just cursed the fact that neither of them were in the best of health "I only regret that we are both injured " she murmured softly "but no sense in letting the moment pass." She murmured softly the were a few rags and a basin of water that had been changed out from the water used to keep Morgause cool though her fever. Not wanting to get the new linens we Cameron opted to let Morgause rest in the chair a while longer. She used the soft cloths soaking them in water before writing out the excess water. She gently and lovingly bathed Morgause skin starting with her neck and moving down to her arms taking care around some of the nicks and scratches that marred her skin. She a bit guilty for not being more forceful in her warnings and trying to go with her instead of simply following. True they survived the encounter but only just barely.

The captain slowly worked her way down resetting the cloth every now and again. She tried not to linger too long when bathing her chest, even in her weakened state the siren was still alluring and hard to resist. "Hopefully the wounds won't take too long to heal?" She smiled slightly before moving lower to we're the more several wounds were. She carefully cleaned around the healing wounds trying her best not to irritate them or cause any pain.

[Kharmin]

Morgause lounged as her lover took great care in washing the residual sweat from the fever off of her tanned and toned body. The lacerations and cuts would heal, in time, but the gaping wound that had been sewn would leave a hideous mark in cruel taunt of the dagger's wrath against her otherwise exotic and pristine body.

She probed at the scar on her cheek as Cameron worked on other parts of her body and sighed with disappointment. Morgause was certain that scar would remain, too, as a daily reminder of her selfish gaffe that nearly got her killed as well as the woman whom she loved. It was a fair price to pay for keeping their lives, but it didn't make the knowledge of the enduring mark any easier to bear. Morgause had worked almost religiously to maintain her body and her looks; with this facial scar, all of her work had been destroyed.

And for what? She never even got her pursuer's name from the merchant and had no idea who it was that was bound and bludgeoned on the floor when she had arrived for the meeting.

Her thoughts were immediately dispersed as Cameron worked her magic wash rag along her thighs and calves. Morgause tilted her head back and shivered with anticipation as she gripped the arms of the chair tightly and bit her lower lip.

[Shura]

A small sly smile curved the captains lips as she worked the damp cloth along her lovers long elegant legs. She could tell the bath was doing more than just washing away the remains of fever. Part of her was tempted ravish the woman. But she had more sense than to make the woman too exhausted for it would just be counter productive. Still... it would be cruel to just leave the siren in need. Cameron re-wet the cloth once more and trailed it along her inner thighs keeping with the same seemingly innocent washing motion until she reached her heated core. She ran the cloth along the sensitive area tempted to draw the bath finding the task much more enjoyable then any simple chore but she was merciful. The rag was discarded as she pleasure her lover giving a brief respite from any aches and pains injuries might cause. Cameron relished the small whimper and moans which built up to a rare but musical cry as Morgause reach her pinnacle point of pleasure. She allowed Morgause to recover and refrained from teasing her any further, there would be other chances when both were recovered. She used the clothe to finish the last bit of bathing before setting it a side. "Feel better?" She teased softly leaning into kiss her siren.

[Kharmin]

Cameron's deft and perfect fingers worked immediate wonders in and around Morgause's core. Morgause bit her lip in ecstasy; she knew that her release wouldn't take very long at all in her weakened condition.

She raised her head and locked her lustful green eyes on Cameron's as she reached for her lover and ran her fingers through her soft hair. Biting her lip was useless as Morgause moaned softly with the incessant pleasuring that Cameron wrought upon her. With a grand sigh and quaking muscles, Morgause climaxed at a dizzying height.

As she floated down from her intimate clouds, Cameron continued with bathing her. She had never been so ... cared for ... in her life. The woman's touch on her was not only intoxicating, but it was sensual without being overly so. Even the way in which the captain ran the wash cloth over her tired, exhausted body was done as loving act. Morgause pined to hear her proclaim herself, but continued her internal struggle to keep such thoughts quiet. In time, Morgause was certain that Cameron would tell her and their relationship would blossom to that ultimate point of true love.

Morgause watched, mesmerized as Cameron finished washing her lean, but bruise and cut body. When asked if she felt better, Morgause wrapped her legs around the captain and drew her close into a warm embrace. She returned the kiss with true affection, and lingered only for a moment to solidify the moment in their minds.

She snuggled her head into the crook of Cameron's neck and softly purred, "I feel fine. Thank you, captain."

Morgause unwrapped her legs and looked to Cameron to help her rise. She nodded toward the bed and advised, "You'd better put me to bed before I fall asleep right here in your arms."

[Shura]

Cameron smirked slightly "I wouldn't mind that" she purred softly. In truth she would be happy just as they are but could see how it would get uncomfortable. She leaned in for another kiss unable to get enough of the woman. "but it would probably be more comfortable on the bed." She admitted with a small smile before carefully helping her back to bed. Thankfully it was a short and simple move, Cameron settled Morgause into the freshly made bed with out much effort. She stole another soft kiss "Rest easy now, ok?" She smiled slightly before pulling back and starting to pick up the remains of the meal and bath.
