Charlotte’s voice chirped over the steady, sleepy murmur in the kitchen. 

[color=ed145b]"Jon-sama! Please, have this seat, I've already eaten my breakfast earlier."[/color] 

Jonathan laughed uncomfortably at the special treatment, but let the girl lead him to the chair. [color=LightSteelBlue]“Why, thank you dear,”[/color] he managed to say with a pained smile. He sat down. Hopefully, this would be the extent of her coddling toda--

[color=ed145b]"Here, Jon-sama, let me feed you!"[/color]

Oh dear. He flushed a bit, embarrassed at the attention, and the odd stares that he was sure everyone would send his way.

[color=LightSteelBlue]”Haha, no, that’s quite alright, [i]Charlotte[/i],”[/color] he said, addressing the girl by her first name without any formality. [color=LightSteelBlue]’I’m perfectly capable of eating like any normal adult. However, I appreciate the offer.”[/color] The strained expression he had put on started to crack as he glanced around the room to try and defuse the odd sort of tension he felt. The air was made doubly tense because of the layered verbal scuffle between Milly and Charlotte, so no one came to his rescue. 

He ate his breakfast in careful silence. It was delicious, but Jonathan wasn’t sure how to tell Charlotte that without causing anymore embarrassment to himself. It was clear and apparent that the girl still hung on to old arrangements and promises made between grizzled old men.

To his chagrin, the atmosphere grew even more suffocating to Jonathan when Waldemar walked into the kitchen, wearing nothing but a bathrobe. Ever since he got onto the ship, he couldn’t stand the fellow, though he couldn’t quite put his finger on the reason why. 

The ship’s usual cook, Simone also sauntered in and grabbed a plate of food. He rather seemed to enjoy Charlotte’s cooking.

Finally, Melody pulled herself out of her chair and called out to where Song was perched in the crow’s nest.

Song turned her spyglass forward into the horizon, and caught the form of land floating among the clouds. 

She turned to Melody and called down, [color=a187be]“Falis Island in view Captain!”[/color] She didn’t feel quite right saying "Land Ho."
