(Levi)
"Again." I said to my dove and she glared at me from the ground, this is exactly how it went last time, but it took more effort this time so I'm proud.
"At least am I improving? " she stood up.
"You are." I nodded and she smiled.
Her smile is really pretty.
"That's good." she attacked me using her blade but she lost her balance as a wave hit the side of the ship and she fell down.
"We need to work on your balance more, I can't have you falling every time a wave hits." she sighed and stood up.
"I was distracted this time, by you. Normally I don't fall, you know that."
"Tch." I rolled my eyes and walked up to her taking her sword.
"What are you doing? " she asked when I tapped her foot with it.
"Like I said, balance. Stand on one leg."
"You are joking, right? I'm not ten."
"This is training, not games. On one leg." I repeated and put away my sword.
She rolled her eyes but still did as I told her. For a few seconds she was doing fine but then she started to move from side to side. Way more than I'd like her to.
"This is stupid." she raised her arms to keep her balance.
"Considering how it hasn't even been thirty seconds and you are ready to fall I don't think this is stupid." her leg fell and she took a step forward. "Now the other one." she glared at me but still stood on the other leg.
This time she seemed way more focused but she had better balance on that one. She started moving slightly after ten seconds had past. She fell before she hit one minute but it was an improvement over the previous one.
"If we're going to work on balance can we do it tomorrow when I'm rested? I really want to go to bed." she whined and I chuckled.
"Sure." I ruffled her hair and she followed me to our room.
"Only three days until we reach Trost, Huh? " she looked at the ceiling when she fell on the bed.
"Aye, only three days." I laid next to her.
"What are you going to do after you kill him? " she looked at me and I shrugged.
"I don't know, what I was doing before I found out about him. Go treasure hunting, explore the world. Maybe find someone interesting and get married." I held back a laugh when she started coughing and rolled on the other side.
"Whgt-what? " she stared at me with her eyes wide open.
"What? I'm not in a rash but I'll keep an eye out in case I deem someone worthy." I stood up to get changed.
"I didn't think you'd be someone that would want to get married. Especially with your approach to romance and all."
"It's not a dream or some shit, but I'm kinda traditional on that topic. " I took off my shirt, I decided to just change my pants and sleep without a shirt on. "I'd like to have someone that would be mine in that sense, so, since I'm a pirate and all if someone catches my fancy I'll just marry them." I went back to the bed and she was just staring at the sheets, for once I can't understand what's on her mind.
I can't understand it. I was just messing with her and if anything I was expecting to get all shy about it, but her expression... It also looks kinda sad. Don't tell me the brat thinks I'm thinking about someone else and is jealous. If that's the case I'll throw her overboard right now.
"Do you have someone in mind? " I laid down with my arms behind my head.
"Right now I guess Petra would be the best option, that girl can cook some really nice food and is not so bad at cleaning. But I can never find her by herself. " because she is always with her three boyfriends having fun, they'll kill me if I go close to her.
However, my dove's reaction is really interesting. I didn't think she'd be so self conscious, she actually looks hurt by my stupid comments.
"I hope you can find someone." she smiled and I rolled my eyes. She is such an idiot. "However, I don't think you'll be able to find a priest to bless your wedding, because of the whole pirate thing."
"Tch, a priest? What God would want to bless the wedding of a pirate, do you think I care about that shit? If I did I wouldn't be here."
"Than how will you get married? " she laid next to me on her stomach, her body supported on her elbows.
"I'll be the one 'blessing' the wedding."
"What? "
"You're not really familiar with pirate traditions, are you? "
"Obviously."
"Because, like you said, no priest would ever bless the wedding of a pirate it has become tradition that a captain shall be the one in the position of priest and 'bless' the wedding. "
"Ooooooh. "
"So technically I have the power to wedd anyone on this ship. That includes myself."
"Ah, I see." she smiled. "I hope you'll invite me to the wedding if I'm still alive."
"I'm sure you will be. " I touched her cheek. "You are such an idiot, dove."
"You or me?" she kissed my forehead.
"I guess both." I flipped her over so I was on top of her. "Getting you jealous over a joke was cute."
"Jealous? Tch, who got jealous? " she looked to the side.
"You did." I kissed her neck and started going down.
"Maybe I was just playing it up." my hand reached between her legs and I chuckled.
"You weren't."
"You don't know that."
"Believe what you will, we both know the truth."

(Third POV)
The man entered the room with two guards behind him, a person was hunched over with a hood over their head not speaking.
"Yelena." the man said and the blonde looked up from her desk.
"Yes, Onyankopon?" she asked.
"We found this pirate roaming around in Shingashina, he plead for his life in exchange for information regarding Captain Levi." the girl raised an eyebrow.
"Oh? Let's hear it than." she leaned back and crossed her arms.
The gaurds removed the hood and the red head looked up and around in the office, curious as to where he was.
"W-where am I? " he asked.
"My office. Now, I was told you have information for me? " Flock pushed his lips together.
"I want a deal, you'll let me live and I'll tell you."
"Swear to God." she smiled. "I won't kill you." he took a deep breath.
"Captain Levi and Captain Leonheart will attack the capital, together in three days."
"Why? "
"Levi wants to kill the king." she placed a hand under her chin.
"I see. Thank you for telling me." she glanced at Onyankopon and he pulled out his sword.
Flocks eyes widen.
"Wait! We had a deal! You promised! "
"I did promise," Yelena stood up. "I swore. I didn't lie."
"Then-"
"But Onyankopon never promised anything." the sword went through Flocks chest before he spoke another word and he fell to the ground a few seconds later.
"So, " Onyankopon started. "What do we do? "
"The king has not been doing well since that captains whore ascaped. He is not thinking clearly. " she looked down. "Take all the civilians and bring them to Sina, they will be guarded in the capital. I want all gaurds moved to the front to make trost look occupied. Move the fleet to the front as well-"
"The fleet is not here."
"What? "
"They all moved to deal with the issue in the borders with Marley, remember? "
"Right... Shit, I forgot about that. " Yelena looked to the side. "We'll have to deal with them from land then. I want men on the walls ready at the cannons."
"What about the king? "
"... The king will tell us what he wants to be done with him. Unfortunately we'll have to follow his orders. I'll go talk to him. "
