Elliott took a few deep breaths before calming down "Alright but I want to know where they're taking him and I want us to follow them without being detected until they reach their destination. We can rest while we follow them." He ordered thankful that Ryder was supporting him. "Could you take me to my room Ry, as a favor from an old friend?" He asked a slight weakness showing in his voice.
Ryder nodded "No problem Elli, just hold on for a bit longer. You're too big to carry you without opening your wounds Doc worked so hard to patch up." He said slowly making his way below the ship while supporting Elliott.
Chris shrugged "I only ever dated one guy before and now that I think about it he was kind of like Elli. He was so dense but he always came and saved me when I was in a bind. He knew I was shy so was careful with what he said and the way he acted." She said sighing, a light smile across her lips. "I was so afraid he didn't think of me as a girl when I tried to confess I just started crying. That guy freaked out and just hugged me until I stopped. I was embarrassed but I decided if I could stand and fight a bunch of Marines I could tell some guy I liked him. But I was turned down at first and he said the words I feared he would. It took a while but finally one day he came to me and asked me out." She said running her fingers through her hair. "You just have to remember Nat, you didn't fall in love all of a sudden. It took time and the same goes with guys, but they sometimes take a little longer. He probably doesn't think he even has a chance with someone as great as you. Why else are you his First mate?" She asked looking down at him as her brother took him beneath the ship.
Steven stood up "You'll get better. Just remember the crews just a big slightly crazy family. We all are here to look out for each other. You remind me of Chris. You know when she joined a year ago she went missing for a few days and no one could find her no matter where they looked? Elliott was frantic and wouldn't rest until he found her. He didn't tell anyone but me and Nat because he didn't want anyone to think badly of Chris. When he finally found her he didn't stop hugging her until she finally spoke to him. It took a while but she finally opened up to Elliott and myself. She's even started joking with the rest of the crew." He said smiling.
