Dark blue jean shorts, a black long-sleeved shirt, and sandals - Ada just threw up her hair before heading out to the campout. Still having zero attentions of getting in the water being by it was enough for the Netherlands Princess. Grabbing a spiked lemonade, she lingered - people watching as she took her time in reaching the food, though she only observed what was offered and was truly glad she decided to not be antisocial for this. Though she still wasn’t sure about sleeping in the tents - not because she doesn’t love camping but she already has nightmares of crashing waves - she doesn’t want to know how worse they would get if she was actually hearing the crashing waves. 

Though as she oblivious continued to walk, she accidentally bumped into someone - “Oh, I’m so sorry. I may have been entranced by the food.” She smiled though when she was starting to focus on who it was, her smile widened perhaps just a bit more. “Nora..hey. Please tell me there isn’t going to be any dead flies in this food.” 

“Oh, we all are” he said with a nod. “Of that I have no doubt.” He’d done what he had to in order to survive, but he knew he wasn’t the good guy in all this. He wasn’t even sure if there were any good guys in this situation. But if there were, it wasn’t the pirates.

He shrugged. “This whole thing has just gotten a lot more complicated than I ever thought it would.” It had been one thing when royals he wasn’t close to were being taken. It was another when his family and friends got involved. He knew she was joking about Twitter, and that made him feel a bit better. “Oh, they’d all think you were mad if you started talking about conversations with the legally dead.”

Aoife was relieved to see her sister. Wrapping her arms around the other woman, she said “I’m so relieved you’re okay.” As she pulled away, she eyed the gun in her sister’s hand. “I hope you don’t have to use that today.” The island was supposed to be safe. They shouldn’t have to use guns here. With a nod, she said “That would be good. I’m looking for anything that can be used to help the wounded.”

Once the sun fully set and the dark sky took over the island - Ada dressed in shorts and her long sleeve sweater shirt, leaving her hair down and leaving the villa barefoot. “Okay...it’s time to stop being a child Ada. You are completely fine.” She breathed as she stepped closer and closer to where the waves stopped on the shore. Only being an inch away from the water touching the tips of her toes, her breathing picked up and she instantly felt light-headed. Maybe if she closed her eyes it would be better? Taking a deep breath she straightened up and closed her eyes, self-talking her self that she can do this, but the instant the water touched her feet she jumped back and squealed, her heart-stopping, dropping and beating against her chest all at the same time. 

Now...now she was convinced that she will never get over her fear of the water.

“My brothers, Lili, Alex, Nora. There are a lot of people I am thankful for, for just being themselves.”

Aoife walked into the pirates’ lounge and glanced around. As she did, she spotted a face she knew almost also well as her own. Walking over to her sister, she smiled and sat down next to the other Flanagan. “Nora” she said, wrapping her arms around the younger woman. “When did you get back?” She felt like she hadn’t seen her sister in ages.

Once again, Ada couldn’t sleep - and not for the same reason she’s had for the past 3 months. No, this was simply because she couldn’t clear her mind of the person she is currently with. She didn’t know why but she just couldn’t, no matter how hard she tried. Really she wanted to tell Nora about her travels to the Hot Springs during her birthday week but decided against it. After all, she didn’t need a lecture about the potential danger that might have come. Adalicia just said it was because she missed her and thought she’d be a good friend to come check up on her. 

Once she felt as if she overstayed her welcome, so, she began to excuse herself - not expecting Nora to extend her stay. She wanted to refuse but instead, she said. “A drink couldn’t hurt.”
