He looked her over. The baggy clothes hid her frame, the hat hid her hair, and the soot hid the details of her face. He nodded, "I think so."

Andrea gave him a small smile and nodded, “Then let’s go back up to the deck.” With that, she headed back towards the door, glancing at Daso and fixing her cap.

Daso followed behind her, squinting as they reamerged into the autumn sun. A smile crept along his face, first small, then growing more excited by the minute. "We're pirates," he said aloud, his eyes sparkling.

She shielded her eyes as they came up but quickly dropped her hand, her smile growing at his excitement, “I suppose we are, at least for the moment.”

He ran to the side of the ship, leaning over the edge and gazing down at the deep blue abyss. "Come over here! It's incredible!"

“The water?” She laughed lightly, sure to make sure she was using her boy voice as she made her way over to him and looked over the edge as well. The water was amazing, even though she had lived her whole life by the sea, this water was different.

"There's so much," he said, shielding his eyes to see further into the horizon. "I mean, I know it's the ocean, but it looks like it stretches out forever. It looks like freedom." He said the last sentence quietly, almost too quietly.

She glanced over at him but didn’t ask any questions, smiling softly at him instead as she propped her elbows up on the edge and relaxed, “Where do you think we’re going?”

"Who cares?" he laughed, mimicking her pose and resting his chin against his hand. "I've never left the city before. It looks like we're heading east, but otherwise…no idea."

“I’ve just read about places in a book,” She admitted, “I’ve never left the city either.” Andrea glanced at the rest of the ship for a moment before turning her attention back to the water and the seemingly endless horizon.

"I hope we go to a big city somewhere," he said, "or the mountains. Or anywhere, really. Where do you want to go?"

A smile appeared on her face at the question and she answered quickly, “Somewhere exotic, with culture and languages I haven’t heard of.”

He nodded, agreeing, "That would be cool. I want to meet as many new people as possible."

“As long as they’re friendly meeting new people isn’t bad,” She agreed, nodding and trying to imagine what they would see on their adventures on this ship.

Daso fell silent for a moment, before angling towards her. "So, what made you choose to follow a random stranger onto a pirate ship, anyway?"

She glanced over at him, “Uh, it was scary dude, he was coming back up the docks and looked even madder than before. I didn’t want to get into trouble,” She admitted, rubbing the back of her neck.

"So it was spur of the moment," he said with a surprised laugh. "Do you think you'll ever go back?"

“No, probably not.” She shook her head and shrugged, “My life wasn’t bad there or anything, I just want to see more of the world.”

"You won't miss anyone you left behind?" he asked, hoping he wasn't overstepping her boundaries.

Thinking for a minute, she nodded, “I’ll miss a few people, but I’ll be alright. What about you? Why’d you let a stranger follow you onto a pirate ship?”

"Oh, I've been planning to leave for ages," he said, grinning recklessly. "I knew the moment I turned 18 I'd leave. And I'm always grateful for lovely company."

She felt her cheeks heat up and she hoped it wasn’t noticeable under the soot, “So you’re not going to be missing anyone in the city?”

He paused, glancing away, out into the ocean, then down at his wrist, where he wore a woven bracelet. "Not really," he lied, smiling brightly.

She nodded. “So I’m guessing you've had this planned for a long time then?” A stray hair slipped out of the cap and down in front of her face and she quickly tucked it back up, hoping no one saw.

He shrugged. "I've dreamed about it since I was eight, but I didn't start really planning until last year."
