Aliana felt as her tears slowly slowed to a stop. She let her head rest again Lorelei for a few more moments before lifting her head to look at Lori, "If, if you say so. Thank you."

“I do say so.” Lorelei teased softly, smiling back. “And anytime you need to cry, I'll be there for you.” she promised.

"And the same goes to you," Aliana smiled sincerely back at Lorelei before resting her head against Lori's chest. She let out a quiet sigh, "Can we stay like this for a moment?"

“Of course, we can.” Lori smiled softly, holding Ali gently as she cuddled her. “As long as you want.” she assured as she began stroking her hair again.

"Thank you," Aliana hummed as she let her eyes fall shut and relaxed in Lori's embrace. There was some part of her that feared this was all a dream.

Lori sighed happily as she looked at the love of her life and held her close. It was wonderful to be so close to each other again after so long. Far too long… “I should have come back for you sooner.” she whispered.

Aliana had let herself become so relaxed that she had ended up falling alseep. And as such she never heard the last few words Lori said.

Lori smiled softly and continued to gently stroke Aliana’s hair, being careful not to wake her. Of course, between the soothing motion of the ship and the perfect moment of having Ali in her arms, it didn't take too long for Lorelei to start dozing off as well.

(Imma just skip to when they wake up lol)

Aliana blearily blinked her eyes open and found herself that she was curled up against something warm. As the sleep slowly left her eyes she realized that the warm thing was in fact her lover Lorelei. So it wasn't a dream. She decided to not move wrapped in her dear's arms and simply admire Lori.

(ok)

Lori’s fingers twitched slightly, accidentally causing pins and needles to spread down her arm until she started to wake up. She was surprised at how comfortable she felt. Humming sleepily, she brought her free, nontingly, arm up to rub at her eyes.

Aliana saw Lori wake up. She waited until Lorelei was a bit more awake until she shifted slightly to kiss Lorelei's cheek, "Good morning my love."

Lori froze for a moment before smiling softly. “Good morning.” she said, kissing Ali’s forehead in reply. “I almost forgot how good it feels to wake up with you in my arms, my dear.”

"I had forgotten how wonderful it felt to fall asleep in your arms," Aliana replied with a soft smile. She nuzzled up against Lori as her eyes shut again, "Must we get up today?"

Lorelei gave a soft chuckle and held Aliana close. “I’m afraid so.” she hummed. “As the Captain, I do have chores of my own to do. Plus, the crew has been looking forward to meeting you. If you want I can give you a tour of our ship.” she offered, reluctant to let go of Ali just yet.

"I would love that," Aliana smiled up at Lori before giving her a quick kiss on the lips. She had no intention of going any further than that but made no move to pull away from Lori.

Lorelei happily returned the kiss before slowly sitting up and stretching, already missing holding the other woman. “Would you like to see if any of my clothes will fit you for now? Charlie can help adjust any you want to keep until we get to a safe port.” she suggested since the robe she was currently wearing only came down to just below her knees.

"That would be wonderful darling," Aliana responded letting out a long sigh and sitting up next to Lori. She made sure her robe covered everything know that it was a little short. She made a move to stand up and walk over to the closet.

Lori held her arm out for Aliana, in case she needed help balancing, and walked with her towards the closet. “Oh, fair warning, my dear. I don't have many dresses and absolutely no corsets.” she admitted with a small smirk.

"If you had corsets, and then made me wear one, I think I would jump ship," Aliana grabbed onto Lori when she began to wobble from the waves. She managed to reach the closet and open up the wardrobe with a bit of help. She let out a sad sigh, "Though I will have to get a few dresses for myself on shore."

Lorelei laughed at the quick reply, though kept her balance steady for Aliana. “Don't worry. Even if I had one, I wouldn't make you wear it. They’re far too restrictive and with how much we have to move and run… It's better that we don't wear one.” she explained, smiling back. “Getting you dresses won't be a problem. I just prefer pants more often these days. Though I do have a couple of skirts as well.”

"You do?" Aliana replied as she began to look through Lori's wardrobe to find clothes she liked or she thought would fit. She pulled out a blouse here, a skirt there, and then all of Lorelei's dresses, "I think I want to try these on first."

Lorelei watched Aliana pillage her closet with an amused smirk. It very much reminded her of how a couple crewmembers raided when they got one treasure or another. “Shall I look away?” she asked, raising a brow in a teasing manner.

Aliana woke up on the confident side of the bed that morning. That and after falling asleep and waking up in Lorelei's arms was giving Aliana a high of being free. She matched Lorelei's smirk with an even bigger one as she began to remove the robe, "Only if you want to."
