"Resume your posts. We carry on." Even as Amelia said the words she felt the tears coming.

I have to get out of here now. She thought. I can't let them see the tears.

She started to head to her stateroom. She was almost there when she felt a hand on her shoulder.

"I'm sorry for your loss..." said a voice, "I'll be in my room if you need anyone to talk too..."

She felt the hand slip off her shoulder. She quickly turned around to see Delbert walking away from her and toward his room. She watched Delbert for awhile before resuming her walk to her stateroom.

She locked the door behind her, and just let the tears flow.

Why did Arrow have to die, and not me? She thought.

Then another thought hit her.

Why was Delbert so considerate? She thought. Are fucking daft women? It's because he cares for you.

What are you saying...thinking...whatever! He can't care for me after I've taunted, and disgraced him. All I've done is make him look like a blooming idiot!

Go talk to him...you'll see.

Amelia decided she would talk to him. Just to prove herself.

Back in Delbert's room

Delbert was getting out of the shower trying to decide what to wear incase the Captain did come talk to him.

Why would she talk to you? He thought. You are a wimp just like your father said!

And he was right. His father was right. He was a wimp and no more. And before he could continue the door opened suddenly.

Amelia never knocks before entering because it's her ship, so why not? Now she had a reason. When she entered the room she found Delbert with his underwear down. He immediatly pulled his underwear up at the newcomer, but it was to late Amelia had already saw "it". They both stood there. Turning redder than Scroop. After a few minutes Amelia quickly left retreating to her stateroom. Not willing to talk to anyone that asked why she was in a rush.

You fucking daft woman! You should have knocked! He probably thinks you're some pervert trying to find all of her crew with their pants down! She thought.

After trying to occupy her thoughts with other images instead of poor Delbert. Then she heard a knock on her stateroom door.

"Come in."

Delbert came into the room fully dressed.

"I-uh umm w-wanted to uh see if you n-n-need anything- or..."

"I'm sorry Delbert I came to talk about Arrow...and such" Amelia interupted. She wouldn't look him in the eyes.

"It's okay..." he said. "Now about Arrow..."

I Know this probably sucks and you all ended before reading the whole thing but why not...
