Seren
I am magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
Destined to seek, destined to know
Destined to seek, destined to know
It wasn't a very good answer, but the prospect of learning to sneak properly wiped everything else from her mind. Her mouth clamped shut when the whisper was declared too loud, and slightly abashed she nodded. Didn't dare answer, just yet.
He moved across the room and Seren followed, trying her best to walk just as quietly as she was supposed to speak - which was not at all - and she had some definite help from being so small, and perpetually barefoot. Oh, she'd been wearing shoes when she was dressed in the morning, but inevitably they were discarded some time during the day... and sometimes hidden away, as another pirate treasure.
Listening with keen interest, Seren looked around the room, and found a great number of potential places, like he suggested. Dark corners, nooks and crannies, stacks of crates with and without equipment inside... The place was full of potential. Especially if she climbed up higher.
"Do not look," she broke the silence to demand, and waited to make sure he wasn't peeking before she scurried off, quick and quiet as she could be, to sink down behind a stack of boxes that looked like they might hide her.
Then she waited, to see if he would find her. If she was hiding well enough. The girl had to press her hands to the mouth to hold back the urge to giggle; this was exciting, and her stomach fairly tingled with it.

I am a princess on the way to my throne
Destined to reign, destined to roam
Destined to reign, destined to roam
