StarBoiWaiting while Winter cooked was torture. The smell made his stomach growl and his mouth water. She had shooed him and the rest of the hungry crew out of the galley. He did as he was told and cleaned up around the forming scab on his neck. He winced occasionally when he pressed to hard, but once it was clean he felt better.
Although it realistically didn't take that long for Winter to finish, Aubrey was convinced he would starve. The day's adventures had left him wiped out. He waited with Jax, as patiently as he could. He stuck his head through the doorway, making sure he was allowed back in. Winter was just setting bowls of stew out on the table. “Oh my gosh that looks so good.” He said, moving inside. A moment later Kai came in. Now that he thought about it, Aubrey realized he hadn't seen him all day.
He slid into the seat next to Kai, saving the other one next to him for Jax. “Hey, Kai.” He greeted him, smiling warmly. When he sat down, Aubrey pulled his hat off like he usually did, stuffing it in a pocket once more. “How's life?”
