Bardeelus fell asleep while embracing Kaya. It felt nice to have her so close again, because while they had been out on the sea, cuddling proved to be quite impossible. It was difficult to get comfortable on fish nets, those were the only 'beds' they could sleep on. The ship wasn't really friendly towards lengthy fares.
That aside, Kaya stood guard a few hours every night, so it was fair to say that she and Bardeelus barely spent any time together; Not at night at least. Tonight was a great reunion, and they managed to make the principal's couch pretty sweaty through cuddling!
He didn't dare imagine how dirty this place would become, if they decided to have sex! It would be an interesting experience, but it was out of the equation for now.
Anyway, the team got comfortable here, as they felt safe. They had craved this comforting, good night's rest for a while now. The tiredness knocked them out cold, so they got oblivious of the world around them.
