Summary
It’s an unusual and unwelcome feeling as he lays awake tonight. The moon is almost full, and the cramped cabin is bright despite the blinds. Stede feels weary to his core. His body aches with every toss and turn but he struggles to settle; persistent, prodding thoughts betraying his need for rest.
I miss you.
His heavy eyelids refuse to stay closed, a drowsy murmur looping in his mind. He has nothing to read and doesn’t hear anything of the crew so he stares pointedly at the ceiling.
Where are you?
Stede watches the whorls of wood knots, the shadows cast in the moonglow. He finds shapes like shells and silhouettes, swirls like a face, watching him back; a kind gaze.
I miss you.
He finally drifts off, thinking of gentle eyes.
***
Stede's searching for his co-captain; Ed's searching for hope.
They begin to meet in dreams.
