She still didn't talk, just walked alongside her friend further into Alexei's ship.

Zev glanced over at her, his blue eyes blank.

Thesa glanced back over at him, flashing a small smile as she met his blue eyes with her hazel ones.

Zev blinked, then slowly returned the smile.

It had to be the first time she had seen him smile, and even though she knew he didn't view emotion the same as she did, his smile made her own grow.

He blinked, watching her for a moment.

"You smiled," She said softly, still caught up with that fact even as her own smile faded into just a slight upturn of her lips.

He blinked again. "Oh. I…" his eyebrows drew together a little bit, slightly confused as to why he had done that.

Thesa didn't say any more, just glanced at him for a moment longer and walked along, her smile still barely there. Seeing him smile clearly had been a welcome surprise though.

"I do not know why." he merely said after a moment of reviewing his programming to try and ascertain why.

"You don't have to figure out why if you don't want to, it was just nice to see," She said gently, glancing over at him as she followed Alexei down the hallways of the ship, hopefully towards somewhere she could sleep or stay.

Zev blinked, then nodded a little bit. "Oh. Alright." He replied.

Thesa once again went silent, thinking about what she still needed to fix on her ship after spending time on Alexei's ship.

Zev continued to walk, following after Alexei.

She followed right alongside her android friend, now getting quite curious as to where they were being led and how much longer the walk would be.

Alexei soon stopped in front of a door. "You can stay in here, if you would like."

Thesa nodded, waiting until the inventor had opened the door before looking inside and agreeing, "Ok, thank you. I promise I won't stay more than a few days at most."

Alexei nodded. "Of course. You are welcome to stay as long as you need. Thank you for returning my android to me." he gestured to where Zev stood.

"It's no problem, he's really good company," She replied, smiling lightly and glancing over at Zev before stepping into her room, "See you around Zev."

Zev nodded to her. "See you." He responded.

Thesa closed the door part of the way as he answered, looking around the place that she was going to be staying for the next few days and silently trying to decide if she should grab her things and bring them to the room or leave them on her ship.

Zev and Alexei headed off in a different direction, Alexei speaking quietly to the Android.

Thesa sat down on the bed in the room, deciding to just go to her ship whenever she needed anything. It would be easier to keep everything together anyway.
