“I wasn’t going to mention the outfit…” He laughed.
“Good,” she laughed and nudged him.
He laughed, “So, you having fun yet?”
“Should I be? Not much is going on,” she crossed her arms and grinned.
“True but we or on the course to adventure! Explorers on the open sea!” He smiled.
“I’m very excited,” she smiled, “I’ve never been on a ship before.”
“I wasn’t going to mention the outfit…” He laughed.
“Good,” she laughed and nudged him.
He laughed, “So, you having fun yet?”

“Your arrival.” He smiled.
She smiled and tucked a piece of hair behind her ear, “Glad to hear it.”
He smiled, “Though you couldn’t of missed me much.”
“How could I not?” she grinned, but then Zach’s comments began to creep into her mind. “I’m sure you’ve found yourself a queen in these three years…”
He laughed, “A queen? Afraid not. I’ve been much too busy. Besides no one else in the land has quite caught my eye.” He winked playfully.
She laughed and nodded, then leaned on the side of the ship, looking out at the sea. “I have missed you Benjamin,” she said with a grin.
He smiled, “Really?”
“Of course,” she smiled, “I’m so glad to be back.”
“I’m glad you’re glad! I’m just sorry you almost had to die!” He laughed and grinned.
She laughed and looked at her wound. “Yes well, I guess I’m lucky you saved me,” she smirked and looked down at the water.
“Well,” He smirked, “I heard the hero thing works. Besides, I waited three years for you, I’m not going to let you die.”
She laughed and looked down at her clothes, “And now you get to see me in men’s clothing. What a lovely reunion outfit.”
“Your arrival.” He smiled.
She smiled and tucked a piece of hair behind her ear, “Glad to hear it.”
He smiled, “Though you couldn’t of missed me much.”

Jena sighed as she finished dressing into some of the extra clothing they had on the ship. She was happy to be out of a dress, but she felt odd in men’s clothing. She walked down the stairs and looked out at the view. This was just the adventure she had always hoped for, especially in Narnia, she had just wished she didn’t have to almost die in order to have it.
Ben came up to her and smiled, “I have something for you…”
Jena turned and grinned, “Oh do you?”
“Yes.” He teased, “Though I may just keep it to myself.”
“Well then,” she smirked as she grabbed his sword out of his scabbard, “I guess I’ll just keep this to myself.”
He smiled and held up one finger, retreating to his quarters. Upon his return, he pulled out her sword and laughed, “A trade I’m willing to make.”
“My sword,” she smiled wide, “You kept it all this time?” She handed him his sword then paused before toughing her own, “May I?”
“Of course.” He laughed, handing it to her, “I thought you might like to have it when you returned.”
“If I returned,” she grinned as she admired her sword, “I’m glad someone other than myself kept faith.”
He laughed slightly, “To be honest, I didn’t have much faith. Until now.”
“What changed you mind?” she asked as she tied her scabbard around her waist.
