"If you'll excuse me, I think I'll retire for the night." She gave him a small smile. He nodded down at her.

"Thank you for the warning, Tom." Gathering the fabric of her dress in her hands, she rose and began making her way back to the cabin. The stars already dotted across the black sky. Her favorite time - and why she'd chosen, no, been drawn to, the night court. Alre would often find her out on deck until early morning. Then she'd drag herself back to their quarters to sleep.

She felt like there was unsettled business between them, since his outburst and her apology.
And so, since their journey on the ship was coming to an end, soon, she wanted to...hopefully, make amends. She knocked on the cabin door and spoke quietly. "Alre, are you clothed? May I come in?"
