“Lucky for me then.” Owen teased back as his fingers squeezed gently at her side again. He had been surveying her out of the corner of his eye but turned and lowered his sunglasses again. With the tint removed he thought he saw a subtle reddening across the apples of her cheeks below the rim of her glasses. Was her face red? He cocked his head at her smirking as one eyebrow creeped higher. She was blushing. He was sure of it. The glasses concealed grey eyes again and Owen decided not to comment on it without risking furthering her embarrassment. The look had been enough to signify he'd noticed. It wasn't as if he had been subtle about where his eyes were looking.
Apparently it didn’t take much to get the Queen of the Veridian Isles blushing. How charming.
“You’ll have to take me to Macrilan then. My nephews and nieces have demanded a seashell collection from me.” He glanced down at tanned fingers that tapped on his bright red trunks. “There aren’t many shells to be found in Eskra. Just jagged rocks and wreckage from unfortunate vessels.” He quickly backtracked to turn the commentary on Eskra around. “But don’t get the wrong idea. It really is a nice place. It’s cold and the beaches aren’t really beaches, but I promise there are...some redeeming qualities about the place. Mostly just me though.” Now he was being obvious.
He studied the way her ear fell when he apologized for rambling at her. Owen had yet to figure out what the movements of these features signified. Perhaps he’d made her uncomfortable after all. “Perhaps you'll take me to meet your brother if you don't find me too embarrassing to show off."
The sun was setting and there was no need of shades anymore, so Owen removed the glasses and let them hang from the collar of his shirt. As they neared the docks Owen flagged down one of the dock masters’ assistants. He moved away from Julianna and gave the young man some instructions. He peeled a generous amount of bills from his wallet and handed them to the teen eager to fulfill whatever task Owen had given him.
“Shall we?” He said returning to his lady companion. Owen having already planned to sail that evening and had the dock masters prepare the boat for him. They only had to wait on the little favor he’d paid for and they could be off.
Owen escorted Julianna to the Lanoria, he easily mounted the sailboat and held his hands out for her to come to him. Though surely the queen of an island nation had mounted boats many times, the sailor saw fit to lift her onto the vessel. The gap between the dock and his boat was apparently to treacherous for him to let the queen traverse it unassisted. Hands on her waist and her feet easily left the dock. He turned with her in his hands and placed Julianna on the deck. The deckhand returned then carrying a large basket which he handed up to Owen who promptly handed it off to Julianna.
“Some treats.” He explained before moving to lift the anchor and set sail. He’d ordered the deck hand to bring them shrimp cocktail from the fish market, a bottle of wine, a bottle of rum, assorted cheese, bite sized fruits (strawberries, grapes, sliced kiwi) on skewers, and cinnamon roasted almonds.
