Bryar smiled broadly as Kirika took his arm to walk toward the vessel, and it seemed that she knew enough to hold onto him as they travelled through the crowds of people. Her touch seemed incredibly delicate and innocent, much like she herself seemed. “There will probably be a fair amount of people aboard the ship, yes,” he said, trying hard not to chuckle at her naivete. It was alarming to him how little she knew about the outside world, yet he could not blame her - it was not her choice to be hidden away as she had been.
Noticing Kirika’s slight shaking, he pulled her a bit closer to him, as though to tell her that he would protect her no matter what - which he certainly had every intention of doing. “Once all of the passengers and cargo have boarded and been loaded onto the ship, it will leave from port. But we mustn’t stand around asking questions, or we will be left here!” he said, with a bit of a laugh.
When they arrived in their cabin, he watched her for a moment as she set her things down. Her question, however, took him aback and he was silent for a moment as he did not quite know how to respond. “Uh… I will be fine on the floor, I think,” he said, ignoring the sensation in his stomach that wanted him to say yes to the question. “You forget, I shift into a bear… sleeping on a floor will be nothing new for me.” He gave her a warm smile.
Once the ship had set out to sea, he could see immediately that Kirika was not made for travel by water. She was lying on the bed looking absolutely miserable. “The trip will not take too long,” he said, sitting down on the bed near her. He had placed a glass of water on the table near the bed. “If you get thirsty, I’ve brought you some water,” he said, and moved to get up. “I’ll be up on deck. I will come check on you in a while,” he said, placing a hand reassuringly on her arm.
Standing up, he went to leave the room, giving a glance back at his companion, and he frowned. There was no way he could leave her alone - not right now. Instead, he turned and walked back towards her, moving his form to lie down in the bed next to her, close but not too close. “I won’t leave you while you feel poorly,” he said, resting a hand on her arm. “Just let me know if there is anything I can do for you,” he said, though the moment his head hit the pillow he began to feel a bit tired, and closed his eyes, falling into a light sleep beside Kirika.
