Eloise
One such obstacle, being Eloise herself.
Curled in a cacoon of blankets, her feet poked adorably out of the end, the illusionist hadn't been sleeping well herself, (not that she'd let Jack know it). When she did find herself awake, she'd think of stars and silently sing herself back to sleep again, hoping that if the captain poked into her mind it would simply seem as though she was dreaming. She couldn't ask him if it was convincing of course, or if he could tell thoughts from dreams. No, whatever victory Eloise had come away with had cost her something else, though she didn't quite understand the full consequences yet.
Peeping her eyes open to see Jack's gaze bearing directly at the ceiling, Eloise braced herself for a new day of icy silence around Jack, and fake flattery around the crew. Still, at least she got to sleep in the bed.
"Why good morning Jack." She said brightly. "Good mornin' Eloise, how did ye sleep?" She mimicked back, knowing he wasn't speaking to her. "Oh fine. This bed is oh so comfortable compared to the floor. Thanks ever so much for letting me cuddle up here with you."
