piratejournal | [voice - action for Roses][backdated to 14th Feb]

[the morning of the fourteenth, Thash was sleeping soundly until he heard Faye's voice. He wasn't awake enough to really register what she was saying till she was nearly done with it though]

Hm...? You say something Faye? [he stretched and gave a long yawn]

*Faye put her journal aside on the floor, then turned back to Thash to nuzzle closer*

Me? Nope. Nothing. You must just be dreaming of me.

*Her voice was light and teasing as she reached to softly kiss his nose*

Oh? [he smiled and woke up a little more, opening one eye]

Musta been a good dream then, but not as good as the real thing....[he gave her a sleepy, cuddly hug]

*Faye just laughs at that as she's cuddled closer, always amazed at how cute he can be even first thing in the morning. But she seems to hold her breath for a moment, like she wants to say something but is too scared, unsure of how to really say it. In the end, she says it a little breathlessly*

..Happy Valentine's Day.

[he smiled and held her a little longer, then gave another, shorter yawn and opened his eyes fully]

Thanks. Happy valentine's day to you too. We'll have to make it special....hope you don't have any plans for tonight? [he said jokingly]

*Phew. Faye isn't very sure why she felt so nervous about saying it, though probably because she's never said it before. She grinned at his joke*

I dunno... I had a few dates lined up but..I'm sure I might find time to squeeze you in.

Oh, good. I promise I'll make it an enjoyable use of your valuable time... [he chuckled a bit and kissed the corner of her lips affectionately]

I hope you don't mind but I have most of the romantic stuff lined up for tonight...but this morning I do have some nice breakfast planned if you don't mind me running out for ten minutes to grab it.

[he blinked a bit as he realized something was on the pillows with them...it looked like chocolates but he hadn't put them there]

Oh...are those from you?

In that case..maybe I can ditch a couple of those other dates to spend more time with you..

*Faye smiled and shook her head slowly*

No, I don't mind. Breakfast sounds good.

*Besides, that ten minutes will give her time to sort some things out of her own. Faye sat up to look at the chocolates, frowning at them rather angrily*

No. They are not. I don't know where they came from.

Really? Well that's odd [he frowned a bit too, wondering how they could have possibly gotten there. He didn't think he was a heavy enough sleeper to bit notice someone coming in to leave them]

What should we do with the strange mystery chocolates....

Nothing. If you didn't get them, and I certainly didn't get them, then we'll do nothing with them.

*Faye picked up the box to examine them, but she still didn't look too pleased. While the chocolates did look delicious, she was annoyed because she didn't want Thash to eat them. But she didn't say so because that might ruin her surprise for later*

[he wasn't to keen on eating them either. He didn't like chocolate much to begin with, and he certainly wasn't going to force himself to choke them down if they weren't even from Faye]

Huh, oh well. Maybe this event is kinda like around Christmas when stuff just appeared on the ship like from magic or something....anyway. [he sat up, stretched, then started to get out of bed] I have a breakfast to fetch...you just relax.

*Satisfied that he wasn't going to try to eat them, Faye put the box aside along with her journal. When he started to get out of bed, Faye looked reluctant to let him go, but the idea of breakfast did sound good.

When he was gone to fetch his breakfast, Faye went to her cupboard, hoping he hadn't been in there. She took out various things that she'd bought for him, and laid out on his side of the bed. When he returned he'd find a couple of large bouquets of red roses, a rather large starfish plush toy that held a heart that said 'You are my Star', a very fancy looking box of chocolates, and a small card in a gold envelope. Faye was beneath the duvet, but if he had the chance to look he'd see that she'd dressed herself up in some expensive red lingerie too*

[he returned about ten minutes later with a covered tray, but his eyes widened a bit when he saw all the stuff she'd laid out]

Wow...is all that for me?

[he already knew the answer though and smiled as he set the tray down on a side table] thanks sweetie...

[He picked up the card, figuring he should read that first]

*Faye blushed a little at his question as she looked over the pile of gifts. She was sure she'd got the right things - she'd been told by some shop keepers the types of things that people expected on Valentine's day, and this was definitely it. She smiled a little back, but watched him nervously as he read the card. It was a rather standard card with love hearts, but it was pretty, and instead was a poem about how love makes people stronger, that type of thing. Faye had signed her name underneath, along with a drawing of a heart and rows of kisses.

She bit her lip as she sat up in bed, drawing the duvet up over her chest*

You're welcome...

*She just really hoped that he'd like it*

[he wasn't really familiar with the custom of giving cards although a shopkeeper had mentioned it. For all he knew she might've written it herself, but bit didn't really matter as long as she meant what it said. It took him a few (rather long) moments to read it due to his poor literacy, but once he was done he put it down and smiled at her warmly]

Aw, that's beautiful, Faye. And I agree...some people think love makes you weak but clearly those people have never been in love.

[he took a moment to smell the roses then leaned down to give Faye a tight hug then look into her eyes] this is great, Faye...the card, the roses, everything. And you look like you might be a little dressed up under there too, heheh. It's so cool to have an awesome girlfriend like you to celebrate holidays with. I love you....

[and he gave her a firm and loving kiss to clearly express it]

*Faye laughed a little awkwardly at first when he made comment on the poem, pleased that he liked it but still feeling a little strange*

Oh - You're welcome.

*And she did seem much happier feeling that she was being a good girlfriend and doing the right thing that girlfriends are supposed to do*

I love you too.

*She smiled happily into the kiss, putting a hand on his cheek and leaning closer*

Mmmmm...[when they were done kissing he hugged her again]

Man, I dunno how the heck I got lucky enough to end up with you, Faye... Heh I can't wait to show you what I've got for you tonight...but for now, you hungry?

[he stood up and moved over to lift the cover from the tray, revealing a plate full of fluffy, buttery large pancakes and several little dishes of different fruit toppings, whipped cream and syrup. Behind it was a smaller plate of toast and breakfast meats... Judging by his dislike for sweet things that plate was probably his]

Guess we're both pretty lucky.

*Faye sat up straight against the pillows when Thash revealed the breakfast and she smiled brightly, giving a small round of applause*

Tha-ash, get you! Turning into a proper chef. I'm impressed.

[he gave a short laugh] sorry to disappoint, but I didn't make these. I just asked a place near the harbor to have these ready for me to pick up this morning heheh.

[he lifted the tray to set it on her lap] care for some breakfast in bed?

*Faye laughed at that too, though she clearly didn't seem to mind. Either way, it had taken him some effort to get them, and it was the thought that counted. She took the tray and settled it carefully on her lap over the duvet*

Thank you. This looks perfect.

No problem...[he sat nearby on the bed, munching on a piece of bacon]

This island and this festival are going to be crazy...the ship even got decorated somehow.

Yeah. Seems like this world goes pretty crazy for this holiday.

*Faye happily continued eating her pancakes, careful to mop up as much of the syrup as possible. Then a thought comes to her and she swallows, pointing with a fork at his box of chocolates*

Oh, yeah. Those aren't sweet chocolates, by the way. I had them made especially - they're delicious, but not too sweet, and in flavours I think you'll like. I know you're not a fan so - yeah, they're not the regular kind.

Wow, seriously? [he looked over at them]

I'll have to give 'em a try after breakfast. That's really thoughtful of you, Faye.

[he gave a warm smile] how are the pancakes?

*Faye just smiled and nodded at his thanks, still getting used to this whole idea of gift giving. But she did look very happy about pleasing him*

They're delicious! Sure you don't want to try some? They're almost gone?

Hmmm... They look really sweet. And soft...[neither of which was something he liked]

I guess it wouldn't kill me to try a tiny bit.
