The Sea Dunes Inn and Tavern

[Vilik]

Vilik peeled off his wet clothing and drapped them over the dresser to dry. He slipped on the loose fitting pants and shirt. "I'm dressed..." he called out to Idrial, beckoning her back into the dark room as he searched for a candle or lantern. He opened the closet and found the later of the two on a shelf along with a flint to light it. He snapped the flint together, lighting the lamp. He hung it on a hook next to the bed and its warm glow spread a ways through the room.

[Idrial]

Idrial reentered the room as she heard Vilik's voice call out. As she walked inside she noted he'd lighted the lantern. "Ah, that's much better." She said with a smile, glad that the room was better illuminated. She meandered her way closer toward him. "I'm glad you got the boat secured." She said, her gaze meeting his.

[Vilik]

The lantern swug back and forth as the boat rode out the waves, causing them to be illuminated one moment and cast into shadow the next. Vilik sat down on the soft bed, glancing up at Idrial and patting the space next to him so she might have a seat. "Now that the boat is secure, why don't you come here. I believe we were in the middle of somthing before the storm so rudely interrupted."

[Idrial]

Idrial laughed softly at his words and moved toward the spot on the bed he'd indicated. "Aye, captain," she said, "If you insist." The maiden seated herself next to him and slipped her arms up about his neck. She placed a brief kiss upon his lips, and then another before leaning back to look at him.

[Vilik]

"Captain....," he repeated after she kissed him. He smiled and leaned back onto a pillow, pulling her along with him. "If I'm the captain, I guess that makes you first mate...," He kissed her as his hand drifted along her side and then he remarked, "And I must admit, you are the cutest first mate I've yet to have."

[Idrial]

"Why thank you, sir," she said, laughing softly at his words. Idrial rolled onto her side so that she was facing him, and propped her head up with her fist. "I don't know as I'm so good at following orders though...especially since I know nothing of the process of running a ship." Her face held a mocking serious expression as she seemed to be thinking over the responsibilities of being a firstmate.

[Vilik]

Vilk smirked and rolled onto his stomach, resting his face in his hands. "Well, a good first mate does hi.., her, best to keep the captain happy." He gave a overly exagerated pitifull face, "Now, after all that work above deck, what would make the captain happy is a nice back rub to work out all the knots." He looked into her eyes, grinning as he waited for her response.

[Idrial]

Idrial raised a brow at his words and laughed. "Oh, that's what it would take to make him happy, eh?" She sat up and folded her arms, seeming to weigh the options for a moment before finally sighing and giving in. "Fine...but only if you return the favor," she said with a grin as she scooted over to him. Idrial slid her hands up his back to his shoulders, massaging them with her hands before going up and down the length of his back. After a few more minutes of such, she sat back, looking down at him. "Better?"

[Vilik]

Vilik closed his eyes and relaxed as Idrial bagan messaging his back. He gave a little grunt as his muscles began to loosen but looked up suddenly when she stopped. "Well, its a little better, but, i think you missed as spot or two.." He turned back to her and smiled, wanting her to continue for a bit longer.

[Idrial]

Idrial gave a mock sigh of irritation as she looked down at him and scooted closer once more. "Alright..." she finally said. "But you captains are so hard to please, I may have to reconsider becoming first mate." She reached down once more, massaging his back like he'd asked. Idrial kept it up for a little longer than the last time, knowing he'd just ask her to start again were she to stop too soon. Finally, though, she did stop and sat back to view him. "There." Was all she said with a laugh.

[Vilik]

"Oh, now thats more like it" he replied with a satisfied sign as her rolled onto his back and looked up at her. "I think, perhaps, you will make a fine first mate." He smiled at her as he sat up, placing his feet on the floor as he positioned himself behind her. He ran his hands up her back and to her shoulders, neading the muscles gently but firmly as he whispered into her ear. "Now, regularly, a first mate wouldn't be entitled to any compensation for fulling her duty... but, since you did do such a good job, I'll make an exception."

[Idrial]

She glanced back over her shoulder with a raised brow. "No compensation?" She shook her head, hiding a smile. "Well, I'm not so sure I'm going to like being first mate." Idrial's form relaxed slightly as Vilik began massaging her shoulders. She couldn't remember the last time she'd had that done...if ever. "Though, I admit, the exception to the rules is sure relaxing."

[Vilik]

He continued rubbing the tight muscles in her shoulders and back untill he could feel them begin to relax. As they did he slid his hand down her side, kissing her shoulder blades and working his way to her neck before whispering in her ear, "Well, I can see, there are going to be many exceptions in this arrangement. His arms slid around her waste, pulling her close him as his stretched his neck to reach her lips with his.

[Idrial]

Idrial sighed with satisfaction as he ended his massage and pulled her close. "Well, in that case...perhaps I can settle for being first mate," she managed to murmur before his lips met hers. She turned herself a bit so that the position was a bit more comfortable, and she was able to slip her arms up around his neck. "Maybe.." she said when she pulled back for air.

[Vilik]

Vilik's lips moved to her neck as she pulled back, whispering 'Maybe,' and he leaned forward, laying her back on the bed. He proped himself over her and shook his head with a grin. "'Maybe' simply will not do." His hand ran along her side until it came to cradle her face. "There must be some, 'convincing' I could do."
