He cocked his head faintly. "Well… I'm not sure what you mean by that."

"What do you think of it? Do you like it, does it make you wonder anything?" She asked, motioning out the window, "You said you don't have feelings…but everything has to have curiosity in them, even you. Are you curious about space at all?"

"Why would I be curious? We know what's out there: stars, planets, and gasses." He said, blinking at her.

Thesa shook her head, "I know that, but just imagine what else could be out there. What could be on the planets, what things there are to discover, all of it. Is there anything you wonder about?"

He considered that quietly for a moment, then shrugged a shoulder. "Yes, that is true. But…I don't really know."

She nodded, not pushing the question further as she went back to looking at the sight.

He continued gazing up at the stars, silent.

Thesa stayed just as quiet, staring with amazement at the view.

He continued looking up at the stars, quiet.

"Is there anywhere else on the ship that has this good of a view?" She asked softly after a while, finally turning and looking at him.

He shook his head. "No, there isn't."

She nodded, then turned her eyes back to space, "Well then I suppose this is going to be my new favorite spot to visit. Should we continue the tour?"

He nodded a little, moving over to the door and tapping the button to slide it open again. "Yes, we shall."

Thesa took one more long look out over the view, then followed Zev. She was quite eager to see the rest of the ship, but a small part of her wanted to stay here for a while.

Zev led her through the halls, quiet.

She followed in the same silent manner, waiting to see where he would lead her next before commenting.

He opened a door. "This is…I suppose the term would be greenhouse." The room was bright and well-lit, filled with plants of all sorts.

Thesa seemed interested in the greenhouse, peering inside and looking at all the growing plants. "Scratch my plan to just build a glass wall in my ship. I need this too."

He blinked at her, shrugging a shoulder faintly. "Do you have room for that?" He questioned.

She shook her head and shrugged, "Nope, I have no space at all for it. Still want it though."

He nodded a little. "I see."

Thesa cracked a small smile and studied the greenhouse, wondering just how much it would cost her to trade in her pride and joy for a bigger ship.

Zev watched her quietly. He still felt a little…strange, and off balance. Like something was different than it should have been.

Turning to look at Zev, she offered that same smile, wondering why he was so quiet. It wasn’t uncommon for him to not speak, but this was almost a different kind of quiet.

His eyebrows had pulled together just a little bit, and he didn't seem to be paying attention to her.
