Stavanger Bay Unconscious mind but wide awake

The familiar sight of the captain made her heart pound in her chest, and she took up a submissive stance, her gaze cast to the ground. She knew it wouldn't be a happy return, but she had a promise to keep, and she was not one to go back on her word. The word punishment lingered in her mind, yet hope sprang up. He wasn't going to kill her as her old pack would have done. She had seen it happen before, and it wasn't pretty. His look meant business, and her legs trembled slightly, whether it was from the fatigue or fear or both, she did not know and didn't have the energy to think about it. Her voice was tired and soft. Aye, I have come to accept my punishment, whatever you see fit to do. I will not make any excuses. It was my doing, and I won't run from it. She knew whatever it was wouldn't be as disheartening as what she had faced the past few weeks, and so she went quiet, waiting for his next words.
