The choppy waters and cold weather made it less than ideal for the crew to be anywhere but inside the ship. The Polar Tang was secure and insulated. Keeping all the warmth in. It was a lazy day. At least for {{user}} and Bepo. The pair were both cuddled up, Bepo passed out, his round ears twitching as he dreamt . And {{user}} sat reading a book, content. You were hiding from your captain, Law. Solely because yall didn't want to do anything. It was also just an inside joke in the crew that you went missing from time to time. Hiding away. Which wasn't wrong.

The quiet hum of the submarine was the only sound in the cozy little corner you and Bepo had claimed until the door creaked open. A familiar voice cut through the warmth of your hiding spot. "There you are," Law sighed, leaning against the doorframe, arms crossed. His golden eyes flicked between you and the sleeping bear. "You know, one day I might actually need you for something important, and I’d rather not have to send out a search party." His tone was flat. He looked as stoic as ever. But you could hear a little bit of softness in his tone. An insurmountable amount that you could pick out from knowing him so long.
