Aryl came bolt upright in the bed with a screaming gasp. He touched his nose, feeling for blood. He wondered when the last time was that he’d woken peacefully. Just slowly opened his eyes and greeted the day without adrenaline coursing through him.

He was still staring at the ceiling wondering as Sloan stood, groaning.

“I desperately need a bath,” he said after taking a sniff of himself.

“The storm’s passed,” Aryl said. The curtains were closed and it was late at night, just past midnight the clock said, but he could tell the sound of light wind outside held no rain. That and there was almost no movement of the ship.

“After we clean up do you want to go back up to the deck? I could use some fresh air,” Aryl asked.

“That’s a first class deck, remember? We’ll get thrown out again.”

“We’ll have to be sure not to fall asleep before sunrise. And if they do throw us out, who cares? We’ll just come back to our room. Or raid the kitchen again.”

“Sounds good,” Sloan said with a smile and began rifling through his bag for a change of clothes. Aryl stayed where he was and Sloan glanced at his bag. Doubtful he had any extra clothes with him. He’d literally left France with that bag and clothes on his back.

“Say, I have some extra clothes if you’d like…until you can get yours washed.”

“Thanks,” Aryl said, continuing to stare at the ceiling.

“You want to come with me?” Sloan asked.

Aryl’s eyebrows rose as he craned his neck to look at him. “To bathe? Sorry, not my cup of tea.”

Sloan scoffed, embarrassed. “Not to bathe…together. Just to…never mind.” He flustered as he turned away. “I’ll be back in a bit.”

Aryl laughed to himself. He didn’t mean to embarrass him. He knew exactly what he meant and knew he didn’t mean anything by it. The combination reminded him of something and he sat up, put on his shoes and wandered out into the corridor.
