The Voyage - A Ship Romance RP [Still Accepting!]

Alexander smiled and then nodded. "I understand." he smiled returning his hand to the table.

Leah looked over at Jeana with an angered look oh her face. Turning back to her bread she too returned to eating.

Jeana too sat quietly and ate her bread, feeling bad about bringing up being together with her sister.

Momo looked between the two curiously, her eyes wide and wary. "What... um..." She trailed off, biting her lip before eating more bread. She blushed, returning her gaze to look around the great big hall to look for Jack. She thought she saw a glimpse of his dark hair, but it was probably her imagination, because he wasn't there the next time she looked. She heard laughter from the royalty, and sighed.

Leah looked up "hmm?" she asked before again returning to the bread.

Nodding at him also, Sharissa bit her lower lip and started drumming the table with her fingers. There was an appetizer plate infront of them, towering with alot of food. Sharissa took very little things since her stomach was used to eating not much food and placed them on her plate. Every so often, her eyes would wander so she could find Jack or Rose, but she'd take tiny bites of food and eat with her mouth closed.

{{ My goodness, you guys do post a ton. O_O Lol. Just try not to scare people away. XDD }}

Jack glided in between the tables of royalty with a tray packed with plates of food balanced on each hand. One false move and someone would be covered in salad and chicken and food he didn't even recognize. "There you go, sir. Here's your salad, ma'am." As he placed the plates down in front of guests, he let his gaze wander the room. So far he hadn't seen anyone he knew, and being surrounded by so many people made him feel a small pang of loneliness. When the trays were empty and all the plates set down, he tucked them under his arm and made his way back through the tables to the kitchen.

On his way back out he looked over to the servants' and peasants' tables and spotted Momo. She was talking with two other servants, and he grinned. Seeing her familiar face washed away all of his loneliness and he turned back to the task at hand with renewed energy. Stopping in front of a large table, Jack began setting down the plates one at a time, balancing both trays on one arm. "Sharrisa? Oh! Sorry, excuse me." He was surprised to see the servant girl he'd met earlier here, sitting at a table among royalty. He hadn't meant to burst out like he had, it was rude and the entire table was looking at him with a look of either surprise, contempt, or disapproval. Bowing to the table, Jack backed away and turned quickly, his face blushing crimson red.

"Aha! There you are Momo, I was looking for you. It's so nice to see a familiar face, hm? Well now, who are these two fine young ladies?" FLashing a wide grin in Leah and Jeana's direction, he bowed to them. After straightening up, he turned slightly toward Momo, making it plain he was there for Momo. Like Sharrisa, she looked uncomfortable; although it was a different sort of uncomfortable. "How're you liking the food, ma'dam? After staring at plate after plate stacked high with such delicious looking delicacies, I'm afraid the entire dining room will be able to listen to the growling of my stomach." He gazed at the bread in her hand with exaggerated longing.

{{ Wheee! Three paragraphs! >D My fingers are on FIRE. Now its Adelaide's turn.. mwahaha... (And I've got to add, just thinking about all the fod Jack is carrying is making me starving. I havn't had dinner yet. 8]) }}

Adelaide couldn't hold back a smile at Jasper's expression. Looking up as Jasper and Rayne walked away, she saw Rayne glance back regretfully. Hurrying to catch up, she slowed down beside Rayne and looked at the siblings. "Are you going to be changing before heading up to the dining hall?" She asked, blinking her large brown eyes at them. "I can go ahead and get some outfits laid out for you, if you like." She offered, wincing as a young man charged by, knocking into her shoulder and causing her to bite her tongue. She felt like yelling at the man and saying some considerably rude things to him, especially when he nearly pushed over a peasant woman holding a baby. "Hmph. Hopefully he is rushing off to some important problem, and not just to get a good table in the dining hall." She snorted angrily.

{{ D: It's like, incredibly smoky outside. Like some big building is burning down, but we can't figure out what it is. But there's SO much smoke it's ridiculous. }}

When Sharissa saw Jack, her world almost paused as she stared at him with wide eyes and her face going red. However, it seemed he left as quickly as he came. Then he walked over to the servant's table and started talking to another servant girl who seemed prettier than Sharissa. A hand flashed over her mouth as she watched in wide eyes when she realized what was going on. Oh my! I can't beleive I was liking a man who was taken! Oh no, I'm a sl*t, I feel so awful... She thought in horror, biting her lower lip and looking down at her plate. Now she didn't want to eat, she just felt so awful. Even his reaction when he saw her at the royal table was enough to send her over.

[[xD Poor Kodiak. Smoke and all... *shakes head*]]

Momo tried ignoring Leah's question by chewing hungrily on her bread, staring out at the workers of the ship as they scurried about, serving royalty and peasants alike. Her eyes brightened as she saw the familiar dark hair of Jack, and the way he glided about with ease. Her gaze fell as he spoke to a girl in an elegant blue and white gown. What... She was about to answer Leah's question when a new voice seemed to come from her mouth. She turned around, a delighted smile on her face. She didn't have to answer and Jack was there! Way to hit two birds with one stone! She smiled sheepishly and nodded, then gestured to Leah and Jeana. "This is Leah and Jeana. They are sisters serving Aidan and Aidric," she murmured.

She nodded her head to her plate, smiling again. "It's delicious. I could easily get sick of..." She trailed off, blushing as he stared at the bread in her hand. "Oh, take it!" She held it out to him, unable to see that look in his eyes. What a way to put her through emotional difficulty. All too quickly, Momo's blush worsened. There she was, so rudely ignoring two twins she had asked to join her and talking to a boy she had hardly known too well. She turned her face away, busying herself with gulping down too much water. "Jack? Aren't you busy?" She felt bad for pulling that card. It was just as good as saying "I never want to talk to you again." She returned her gaze to him, biting her lip before speaking. "I would love to talk again when I have more free time. Maybe later..." She sighed thoughtfully as she felt her blush fade into nothing.

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

Both Jasper and Rayne stopped, the latter blushing furiously. "You would have let me go to dinner without changing!" She smacked her brother's arm playfully, smiling up at him as he shook his head. Of course he would have. He loved pranking his sister; it was very childish, yes, but very fun. He was about to answer when Adelaide was nearly toppled over by a man rushing ahead. "Are you okay?" both siblings asked quietly. Rayne held out a hand for her, her eyes scathing as she watched the man nearly leave a woman and her baby with a meeting with the ship's deck. Jasper looked at her worriedly, then steered them towards their rooms. "We shall change, and you may have a break after dinner, if you wish, Adelaide," he decided.

Both of them hurried into separate rooms and changed into their dinner finest. Rayne came out in a silver gown with a daring neckline and a silver chain necklace with a diamond attached. Jasper was at her side in a blue and white suit and black dress shoes. He linked an arm with his sister's, taunting her for the neckline on her dress. "Adelaide, are you coming?" she asked, ignoring her brother's taunts. They walked towards the dinner hall at a slow pace. Rayne was starting to feel dizzy again, which made her feel much weaker than she ever wanted to.

[Kodiak]

{{ *sniffles* I know. Poor me. x]

Sorry if I'm slow to respond, my family and I are watching TV. xP }}

Taking the bread gratefully, Jack forced himself to eat it slowly and politely. He hadn't eaten all day and the bread tasted delicious. But then again, anything probably would've tasted delicious at that moment. "Mmm.. Thanks Momo. Yes, you're right, I am busy. Correction, I should be busy. But if I carry one more tray I think my arm might just fall off." He said over-dramatically, ignoring the fact Momo had basically just asked him to leave and leaning heavily against the table.

"But yeah. I really must be going. Farewell, ladies. Hope you enjoy the rest of your evening." He nodded to each of the girls, giving them a warm smile before turning and striding away, the two trays still tucked under his arm. The rest of the night dragged on, but he kept a cheery smile on his face the entire night.

Adelaide nodded, muttering that she was fine. Shaking her head, smiled gratefully at Jasper. "Thank you, but I think I'll just stay on the deck during dinner. I'm not very hungry." She said meekly, following them to their room.

"Oh Rayne, you look dazzling. Absolutely glorious." She grinned, her hands clasped together in front of her. "Have a wonderful dinner, you two." She said, trailing after Jasper and Rayne toward the dining hall. At the door, though, she waved and turned to head out to the deck. There were very few people still on the deck, she mostly had it to herself. The sun had completely disappeared by now and the sky was a dark blackish-blue, speckled with stars surrounding a large, crescent moon. She leaned against the railing, sighing as the wind blew her hair back and the ocean spray misted her face.

When Jack walked away from the ladies, Sharissa wanted to call him over, but then she tried to remind herself that he was already taken to that girl. Shaking the thought off of her head, she can atleast talk to him and become friends with him, right? Afterall, she never thought she could meet a man just like Jack. That, and she felt like she needed to explain to him why she was with the royals, especially from his reaction. It broke her insides completely, and she wanted to cry, but didn't because she was infront of her master right now.

A few times when he was in her eye-veiw, her hand raised to wave him over, then it shot down to her lap and she bit her lower lip. On the inside, she felt frustrated with herself for not getting the courage to call him over. After a few more times her hand would rise and fall at the sight of him, she sighed and looked down, giving up. Then she looked at her master, thinking that she must look like a moron around him. "Sorry about that," She apologised to her Master shyly, then looked off to where Jack went with a sad look.

[thePiPer]

[[8D Tis alright, Kodiak meh darling. TV and family mix well... lol.]]

Momo smiled up at him, watching him eat before returning her bright green gaze down to her lap. "You're welcome." She giggled at what he said, and the drama to his statement, and somewhere inside, she was grateful that he had ignored her "request." She watched as he strode off, her smile fading into a little smirk. "You too, Jack," she said softly, sipping more of her water. She glanced at Leah and Jeana, blushing again. "I'm sorry, I just ignored you for the longest time..." she apologized, blinking worriedly.

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

Jasper nodded thoughtfully, his eyes bright anyway. He and Rayne both laughed at Adelaide's comment, and Rayne blushed deeply. "Thank you, dearest Adelaide," she murmured, her eyes brightening a bit. "You should eat at least a little bit," she called as she and Jasper entered the dining hall. She sighed, letting him lead her to a table. They sat near their parents, and Jasper busied himself talking to another "old friend" of his while Rayne picked at her food. With a slight smile, she tucked a piece of bread away next to her, for Adelaide. She couldn't let her not eat.

[[D: Suddenly so museless. xDD Somewhat, anyway. Should there be a time-skip...?]]
