"You’ve never kept me so long in the cold before," The Ark says in a voice gone low and sultry, though there’s no accusation in it. Jack has spent the whole season taking what care he can of her, worrying ice from her deck and rigging with his magic, warming what he can reach, never letting the winter have more of her than circumstance demands.

Her thoughts turn deliberately suggestive, rich with the idea of melted ice and wet wood.

sweet and right and merciful, all but washed in the tide of her breathing
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.
