"I'm an adult," she said, reaching peak peevishness.

"You're an adult with a very powerful father," he reminded her, "as well as a brother we have reason to believe was involved in numerous underground criminal circles! You can't jaunt off like this at your leisure-"

"I'm not going to be hurt by Johan on a boat surrounded by armed men," she admonished him, though his concern for her made her relent a little. "Believe me, I'm safe here from everyone except Raoul." She laughed at that comment.

Silva uncoiled himself from where he was seated, to approach her almost solicitously. How he wanted to lay his head on her little shoulder and soothe the uncomfortable itch of metal against his cheek. But she was in a rotten mood -- through no fault of his own -- and the gesture was unlikely to be welcome.
"Who, me? No, no, when would I have picked up that?"

"Nina?"

"...no, I'm sorry-" she responded with paralysing insecurity.
