Suihime knew this was going to be uncomfortable. Really, really really uncomfortable. More than one time in the time since the meeting with her mother and now she had gone to her mothers door, and stopped herself knocking. It was too late now.
How do I do this? It wasn't fair. She hadn't intended to catch anyones eye, let alone a champion! She only wanted to somehow convince her mother that Susumu was a great man, which he was, and everything was turned on its head.
She walked up the plank onto the ship, looking for the crew.

The crew was oddly silent. The planks creaking under her weight was for some moment the only sound that could be heard until one of them turned towards the approaching Miya
''Good evening Miya-sama''
The man seemed wary

Oh dear...
"Good evening" Suihime gave them a respectful nod "is the captain around? I need to speak with him."

The man pointed at the captain's quarters with an apologetic look
"He is...studying for the examination."
He looked left and right
"It might not be a good time"

"There won't be a good time" Suihime sighed "whatever you hear, do not come in."
She approached the door and knocked.

The cabin almost sounded hollow the way the knock echoed through.
It took a few moments until a "Yes?" was heard

Suihime took a few moments to consider what to say before speaking. "It's Miya Suihime. May I speak with you?"

There was a few seconds of silence
"Yes, please enter"

Suihime prepared herself mentally, before opening the door and entering with a bow.

The room was dark except for the few lights near the main desk.
Behind it stood Susumu, his eyes were stared at some nothing in the distance until they turned to the Miya
He bowed to her
"Suihime-sama"

Suihime closed the door, walking over to where Susumu stood, approaching him if he would allow it. "Susumu-kun, I..." she stopped, looking down at the ground and after a moment saying quietly "I'm sorry."

He leaned over his desk, knuckles clenched on the hard wood.
"What are you sorry for?"
His voice struggled to keep calm; he knew full well that nothing of this was her doing

"Because I hurt you." She could see his knuckles, fists clenched so tightly that even in this light the veins stood out. She closed her eyes, taking a small breath before opening them and looking up at his face. "I chose you. I told mother that I wanted to marry you. I swear this to you. I...I did not expect what happened after this."

He raised his head to lock his eyes into hers
''Aye, that I am...but are you not hurt as well?''
He looked back down and fell in his seat
''Who could have known? It is not your fault...'' He frowned, his lips quivered slightly ''We are not free...we are but slaves with golden chains''

"I am hurt" Suihime moved to lean against the desk near Susumu "and I wish there was another way. If...it had been anyone else. I just..." she sighed "I only thought of you. If I had rejected him and chosen you, he is your champion. He could take your sails away and assign you a long away from the ocean, or worse. I didn't want to be the cause of your champion turning more against you. Now instead you still have your freedom at sea, and you can still show the world thst you are the great man that I know you are."

''He could have tried to take my sails, I would have not let him.'' he got closer
''What will we do now?''

"You know, I expected you to be angry at me, or disappointed" Suihime said honestly, taking a few moments to think before frowning. "I don't have the answer other than 'sail'. This hasn't changed my position in the explorers yet, nor do I believe Gusai-dono would risk upsetting Hantei-denka. It also doesn't change the intended destination in the future, just means we have to plan more carefully. I have discovered a port for Medinaat al-Salaam as well."

''I am angry and disappointed Suichan'' he said his jaws tense
''So much so that my mind is filled with villainous ideas...but I can't...''
He stood back up
''I can't be angry at you. You did what you thought you needed to do and I am not thinking clear enough to find an honorable way out of this fate.''

Suihime kept her eyes on his. "If you want to be angry, you can be angry. I will understand, but it doesn't change anything sadly."

"It does not change anything yet..."
He walked around the desk and now stood before her
"Would you allow me one improper thing?"
