Bathroom

Lost in thought, Freya came up with an idea-though she wasn't entirely sure it would work.

She rose to her feet, but before she could take a single step, Brendan's eyes landed squarely on her. "Ms. Briggs, where do you think you're going?"

"To the restroom," Freya answered crisply.

Brendan turned to Natasha and said, "Go with her."

"Is that really necessary?" Natasha asked, lazily sipping her juice through a straw. "It's not like she can jump ship."

“She can't run, true, but hiding's a different story on a vessel this size," Brendan replied, casting a pointed glance at Freya. "Besides, she doesn't know her way around. What if she gets lost?"

Setting down her juice, Natasha stood and followed Freya toward the restroom.

Along the way, she kept up a friendly chatter, laced with concern. "Any preference for dinner? I can talk to the chef for you."

"I'm not picky."

"You remind me of my mentor," Natasha said, glancing sideways at her.

To deflect suspicion, Freya asked casually, "Is that why you're being so nice- because I remind you of her?"

"Of course not," Natasha retorted with a soft laugh. "I just think the two of you would've hit it off. Quiet types, not fussy about food."

"You're reading too much into it," Freya said with a shrug, her tone breezy.

When they reached the restroom, Freya went through the motions and stepped out wearing a hesitant expression.

Natasha noticed immediately and asked bluntly, "What's wrong?"

"I want to take a shower," Freya admitted. "I didn't get to last night, and I'm feeling uncomfortable.".

"Go ahead,” Natasha said, not nearly as strict about such things as Brendan. "I’II take you."

Freya followed along, thinking to herself that having a former apprentice who had switched allegiances could

actually be quite handy.

Natasha led her to the room, gave a few brief instructions, then locked the door and returned to Brendan.
