It barely just turned one week from when Hunter was taken that it seemed he was face with more now than he has in a year back home. Then again, he could just leave on his medical studies when things seemed to be getting...too weird. Right about now would be the time, he’d be boarding a plane to any third world country for a few months. He’s living with a pirate that he oddly likes the company of. He ran into not only Isak but Isak’s betrothal, Ingrid - to which brought up old...harsh feelings he’d soon rather forget. Thus, Hunter was glad that it seemed every royal and pirate alike - had to do something around the island...he mainly just focused on his job and when it was done - he didn’t go back to Nora’s villa...not even Leila’s.No, instead he headed towards the Royal Common Room - a place where he only overhead a few other royals talk about. So, he made his way over to the place to check it out. Honestly hoping, he didn’t run into anyone he knew there. 

Keeping his hands tucked in his pockets - his eye scanned the room. There were only a few people there, people he didn’t recognize right away. So, it was safe to go in further. Grabbing a bottle of water...Hunter walked over to an open seat next to a blonde. “Is the seat taken?”

Throwing her hair up in a ponytail, Devyn walked behind the counter of the bar in her jeans shorts and a forest green tank top tucked in her shorts. Her bathing suit was hidden underneath when she was able to join the party and go swimming. The bonfire was her first event on the island but she’s been one of the Tulach’s pirates for a while now and she knew how good their parties/events normally were, she just hoped that they continued to live up to their hype.  Placing her bag to the side, she quickly recognized the pirate that she’ll be bartending with. After all, he is one of the ones responsible for this event. 

“Bartending with a Tulach. Never thought I would see the day.” She lightly teased, as Dex laid by the entrance she walked through, she leaned on the counter with her arms loosely crossed at her torso. “How come you’re working the event and not enjoying it?” 

What was normal? Especially in this last past week, Adalicia went from a respected Princess of the Netherlands Royal palace - to just another annoying royal on an island, being under-watched by a pirate. Luckily enough, a nice one but it was odd nevertheless. Though only it being a week, she’s learned a lot, met a lot of pirates and royals - some being her captured family members, and it was exactly what they’ve said. The island was small, it was hard not to bump into someone there - thus whenever she goes back to her room in the villa she shares with her pirate captor, she curls up into a ball and finally allows all the held back emotion she doesn’t want anyone to see - out. 

Though, she knew she couldn’t always lock herself in the room, for one it wasn’t healthy and she doesn’t want to cause a scene. So, she changed into a fresh pair of shorts and a t-shirt to which she modifies. Only rolling the shorts up just a tad and rolling up her sleeves up on her shoulders, then tucking in the shirt into the hem of her shorts.  Once she was ready, she grabbed a water bottle and went out for a few hours to...mingle. Though her mingling was really just going to the Royal Common Room, sitting Indian style in the furthest chair and started to watch royals and pirates. People watching was what she did back home and besides the ring, she kept on her pinky - it was the only sense of being home. 

So, she relaxed back into her chair and studied people, getting lost in a few peoples exchanges or rather checking some out, that she just didn’t really start to pay attention to the people she was staring at. Until she saw one person she hasn’t seen for days, one she was clearly glad to see. 

“Alex, glad to see you’re still part of the land of the living.” She teased once she walked over to where the other princess was to greet her once again.

By now, Hunter has had a few drinks and though he’s never been a drinker - it still took a little more than just a few beers to get him really buzzed. However, it was a moment of fun and it wasn’t one he wanted to waste either. The weather was nice and as he joined a few turns of slip and slides and other games, Hunter’s shirt was already off and tucked in his back pocket. Who would have thought pirates were able to throw something this fun while still being captors to the most powerful kind of people. 

When he saw Isak - a settle...admiring smile fell on his features. Hunter didn’t regret what had happened the last time they were around one another but due to Ingrid being there, he knew that was a moment only going to happen once. He didn’t want it to be and if it ever did happen again, Hunter was never going to stop it but saving everyone’s emotional rollercoasters from flying off the tracks -- it was best to be respectful of their relationship. 

With all that being said - it still didn’t stop him from grabbing two drinks and made his way over to the Swedish Prince. “Think we both deserve this. Don’t you think?” He said offering him the other drink in his hands.

Location: Fitness Center Date: Thursday, 3/26/2020 Time: Midnight

The bruise that marked his first horrid days on the island was long gone, and now that he can actually move -- he thought it was the best idea to start working out. Get himself back into shape, besides working, there was really nothing else to do besides working out. And sex. The only problem with the latter was there was only one person he craves it with one certain person that it was too painful to look at right now, especially with his fiance now on the island with them. To add even more insult to injury his baby brother, Logan and now his good friend, Lucia Rossi was on the island with him. His protective nature was coming out and he was pissed he couldn’t be there to protect them. Needless to say, Hunter needed something to punch. 

Shrugging his outer shirt off, he hung it over a nearby chair as he started with easy warm-up punches on the punching bag. Though once he got a steady rhythm going, he allowed his frustrations out on the bag. Enough to where he eventually needed a break after a couple of minutes of being relentless. Walking over to where he left his shirt, he also left his water. Grabbing that he took a long sip from it, scanning the center. It was practically dead at this time. Which is why when a certain blonde-haired Russian walked in. It was easy to spot her. Smiling, he only laughed to himself. Picking his shirt up he walked over to her.

At this point, Hunter just needed to find a place to sit down. Yes, he was still cautious of his surroundings, but his torso was screaming at him, If you take another step - I’m taking you down. Therefore, of course, he was gonna listen. However, he still had to walk to find a place to sit - an easy way to get back up if he needed to. Eventually, he came across a building to which he didn’t know what it was but it was a good place to start.  The last thing the crowned prince was honestly expecting was to be confronted with the sight of books lining walls and bookshelves shocked. Damn, this place is just strange. 

After taking the sight in, he saw a rather comfy looking chair calling his name and made his way over. He was slouching, unroyal like behavior, but he didn’t care...not like there was paparazzi around the corner waiting for Hunter to fuck up. Or were they? Still, too hurt to actually care. 

There weren’t a lot of people around, then again, it wasn’t as if he was walking around to see if there was anyone. However, someone did appear in the prince’s view - to which he hesitantly got up and walked over to her, carefully tapping her on the shoulder. “Excuse me, miss? Do you know where I can get some ice?” 

The last few nights, Ada’s night terrors had worsened - the imagine of Stephanie holding out her hand towards her, calling her name - or it was the sound of waves brushing over her head and forcing her down, forbidding her the wish to breathe. Most nights she refused to actually sleep, not wanting to see either vision or experience the feeling of losing air. However, she was losing things to do to preoccupy her mind so she doesn’t fall asleep. Groaning in mere irritation - she just grabbed a jacket and slipped on some shoes before she headed out. Maybe a walk through the woods would help her?  Sure, she could have gone to the gym but there was a likely chance of someone might waking up early to beat the crowds that always appeared to be in the gym. The woods? At this time? The chances of running into someone were slim. Honestly, Ada thought about going to Alex’s but she didn’t want to disturb the girl, after all, it was pretty late and she didn’t know if she would be sleeping or not. 

Humming one of her favorite songs from Anouk, she walked further and further into the woods the more she could hear a sound that wasn’t her humming. So, she stopped humming all together and headed in the direction of the sound to find Alex. “Alex?” She hurried over to the blonde and softly placed a reassuring hand on the other’s shoulder. “What’s going on?” 

“I thought I heard the ever so great Fabien Geroux was here but I had to see it for myself,” Ada said as she approached him, crossing her arms with an excited smile brightening her pale features.
