Where: Alex’s quarters Who: @aleksanderwilsons​

With a sigh of contentment and pleasure all rolled into one, Lilith rolled off of Alex and curled up against his side, the two of them taking a few moments to catch their breath. While neither one of them had a large bed, it wasn't like it was a hardship for her to be pressed up against Alex's side to keep both of them comfortably on his mattress. Her head rested against his chest, allowing her to listen to his heart rate slow down as she let her arm drape over his midsection. Perhaps it had to do with her age, or maybe it was the fact that it was Alex lying next to her, but it was impossible not to think about how nice it would be if they could be together every night, without a care as to who knew about them. Preferably not lost in space, but at this point that almost felt like an improbability.  

"Do you ever just sit back and think about the future? Like, what you want to do if... when we make it home?" Orion had already broken the news to the crew that they might not make it home anytime soon, but Lil was trying to stay positive in her outlook. Sure, she had a few friends she would miss, but most of the people she cared about were on this very ship with her. Alex, on the other hand, aside from his sister, had his entire family back home. Lilith couldn't quite relate to the pain and loss he experienced thinking of them, but she was doing her best to try and understand. "I used to never think about it until a couple months before this mission started. Then I couldn't stop thinking about it. Now though - it's like I don't know whether I should think about it. Does that make any sense?" she questioned, craning her neck to look upwards at Alex's face.

Where: One of the lounges Who: @aleksanderwilsons​

While the rest of the crews might have some problems meshing, the same couldn’t be said for most of the engineering department. The couple of mechanics that had come over from the other ship were competent and easy going. One of them, Alex, was even entertaining in a way Andy hadn’t anticipated. “Heads up,” she called to the man before tossing him a bottle of water and settling into a seat across from him, tucking her legs up under herself. The lounge was one of the few areas that the crew could let their hair down completely, especially since the higher ups didn’t often come in there. After taking a pull from her own bottle, she arched a brow at Alex, letting a smile brighten her features for a moment. “So... word on the proverbial street is that you’ve uh- hmm. Gotten in good with at least one Alliance member?” She might not know Alex well, but she figured the question would make him a little flustered, which is why she waited til they had the room to themselves before bringing it up. Sure, she could have left it alone, but there wasn’t a lot of excitement going on these days, so if she could live vicariously through a friend...
