—somewhere in the the middle of the ocean-
the ocean waves kept caressing the skin of the wooden boat.
A boy wrapped in bandages around his body, and a striking blonde hair, with cyan eyes that seemed to reflect the ocean around the boat was sitting on the edge of the deck as if lost in thoughts
a sight escaped his lips
"you're up early"
a woman voice came few feets behind
the boy turned around to see his captain a woman in her late thirtys
the woman was wearing a ruffled shirt slightly unbuttoned, a bandana around her forehead, adding up with a red waistcoat and long coat having her whole arm in bandages
"stop bothering me, Eve"
the woman named Eve raised a brow and looked at him in an amused manner and said
"god forbid a Captain being nice to a brat like you"
silence echoed between the two of them before Eve sat next to him
"how are the others?"
Eve looked wistfully at the vast expanse of the ocean
"injured...but you did all you had to do, Ven"
The blonde boy, Ven looked back at the ocean lost in deep thoughts
before Eve added playfully to lighten the mood
"and the treasures we stole from "him" is quite worth few scars, no?"
Ven chuckled
"maybe betraying that ruthless bastard was the best idea after all"
Eve smiled and ruffled the boy's hair and said im energetic tone
"little Ven you've outdone yourself as well, its not easy to leave a scar on a tough bastard like him but look! You've done it! you took his eye!"
Ven rolled his eyes at her and swat her hand away from his hair
before footsteps approached them
