"When she came to her quarters, Captain" Her father said. "Only the best for my daughter". Hurt showed in Jayde's eyes. How dare he say that, when the only time she ever saw her father was when he was showing her off.

"Certainly" Jayde's father answered before Jayde could. "I'll leave you two alone" Her father left the room, looking smug with himself. Jayde let out a sigh.

edgar laughed when she said his title. "i've never gone for this 'women below men' thing. where i'm from, there's no such thing" he nodded to her. "i really don't believe in that stuff." he looked down into her eyes. "you said you wanted to travel... how about it? wanna travel with me?"

"I would, but I doubt I'd be able to get away that easily." Jayde looked dismayed. My father would want me guarded, and watched."

Jayde's father walked inside, looking at Jayde, but not saying anything about her blushing. "I trust you have reached a decision, Captain?"

he nodded and looked to the man. "one year. if you would permit it, i would like to take her with me for one year while i travel. after this year, if she'll take me, i'll take her hand in marriage no matter what. but during that year, i don't want anyone guarding us or anything. we'll write with our status regularly so there's no worry"

Jayde's father looked dismayed. He was hoping for a speedy wedding so he could finally be rid of her once and for all. "What about half a year, captain?"

the captain shook his head. "in one year i will be up for a re evaluation. i set this goal because i intended to leave for a year before it, and travel around. once my re evaluation is complete, i shall be sent to a perminant post, which makes it the perfect time to settle down. before this year is over, i won't be able to settle down. therefore one year is the best time." he nodded to her father.
