Lisa tapped her riding boot in the sand absently as she eyed the approaching storm. It presented several options to her for her current predicament. It was likely, if her family had already noticed her absence anyways, that a search was underway for her. Would they already know that she had been taken to sea was the question. If they realized that yes, she had been taken by pirates and not some opposing delegate or a random rogue, they would be out looking.
But she often took long riding sessions to be away from the dull and boring court blatherings. They wouldn't have noticed until a meal gathering. So perhaps.... Perhaps she could pull off an escape from two problems when the storm hit.
"Ah yes, a search party. There are probably..." Her voice trailed off as she turned from the horizon to reply to Zek and realized he had already walked quite a bit away. She hesitated watching him. He wasn't worried about her, or fawning over her. That was new.
A small smile tucked the corner of her lip up. It was refreshing. She quickly hid the genuine smile and trotted after him to catch up. For her plan to work she needed to actually be on the ship, no point in running now. Well... Swimming. Internally she chuckled at the slip up while she caught up.
"So, first mate Zek, do you pirates have spare clothes?" She asked as she caught up, "I'd like to get out of these riding skirts."

Edit:
Oopsies forgot to ping you. Glad you replied to this. Reread it all and went ooooo I really enjoyed this one!

Lisa kept pace with Zak as he started humming as she waited for him to answer. She was just starting to feel like she was being ignored when he turned to look at her and gave her a look up and down sizing her up.
Her face scrunched up in pure annoyance thinking he was doing what all her suitors always had. She was sick of people like that. She opened her mouth to shoot insults at him when he finally replied and snapped her mouth shut again as a blush darkened her cheeks. She had almost been to hasty. He was actually attempting to help her get some clothes to change into and was thinking specifically of what might fit her.
She swallowed, ready to thank him, humbled a bit by the change of the norm she was used to. When he continued, her feisty came right back. "Your clothes will do just fine thank you. I don't need a million uncomfortable layers like other nobles, nor do I require a dress." She crossed her arms across her chest feeling slightly insulted.
As they continued walking it slowly sunk in exactly what he had really said and her entire face paled as she realized her mistake. At least he hadn't seemed to be pushy her into choosing something revealing. She was sure many of her past suitors happily would have had they been able to get their hands on her.
Why would they even have dresses like that aboard! Maybe it had something to do with the name of the ship. Her steps faultered in their stride for a moment as she worried what kind of pirates she had actually been kidnapped by.
No. She had to try to go through with the escape plan regardless. It would truly change her life if she could pull it off.
