[ What Stede wants is for Ed to enjoy this - to enjoy a little bit of peace. The life they've chosen isn't exactly an easy one, and if they can find a little comfort in the early hours of the morning, then his view is they ought to enjoy it. He knows some of the crew are also finding a little respite in the calm between storms, and they'd rather like to avoid any more life-threatening situations in the near future.
Piracy is all good and fun, but that doesn't mean he wants to be constantly under duress. This is just as good - better, actually.
Reaching out, Stede lets his hand brush over Ed's wrist gently, not demanding or asking, just... Touching for the sake of touching. It feels good to reach out and feel him right there, no distance between them. ]
I rather like the idea of having a lazy day, actually.
