bottom line, we made it out the first time still in love and half alive
The Ark doesn’t so much emerge from the sea as reform from it, with the glow gathering first, light stirring beneath the surface before her shape follows, rising in one smooth, unbroken motion as the water peels away from her body in slow sheets that cling and slide, reluctant to let her go. Every movement is fluid, unhurried, the sea still wrapped around her in the way it trails along her skin, caught in the hollow of her throat, the curve of her waist, the long lines of her legs as she steps forward.
She moves towards Jack, hips swaying with an easy, predatory rhythm that would have lesser men already on their hands and knees or worse, following her back into the sea. Water traces her as it falls, slipping from her hair in dark strands that cling like seaweed against pale skin, from her limbs in quiet rivulets that catch the bioluminescent glow before fading into nothing. Her body is all contrast;n arrow waist, long legs, the soft, unapologetic curve of her breasts rising and falling with a breath that still belongs more to the ocean than the air.
There’s something in it that doesn’t soften when she reaches him, something that lingers from the water, not wild but controlled, like a current that doesn’t need to pull to be felt, and it sits in the way her gaze settles on him, blue and deep and carrying that submerged vastness back with it. Whatever tabloid message had been written across the sky has already slipped from her attention entirely, the world narrowing without effort until it’s just the Captain. A jackal's smile spreads across her lips, as she stops before him, the water on her body beading in place rather than continuing to drip. "Did I miss anything?"

we didn't die, but no guarantees this time, but fuck it lets do it again
Siren's Wake | After she leaves a space, traces of her presence linger briefly: a faint scent of salt, the sound of distant water, a restless feeling in the chest. People rarely notice it consciously.
