She didn't break the silence, though she definitely debated doing so. Watching him for a moment longer, she just turned to look back around the greenhouse.

He was still considering what could be wrong. Why he felt so strange.

"…Whatcha thinking about?" She drawled after a while, finding herself rocking on her feet as she watched Zev.

He blinked once, looking over at her. "Nothing." He said after a moment.

Thesa slowly nodded, raising a questioning eyebrow, "Really? Nothing? You looked deep in thought…or deep in processing data."

He shook his head a little bit. "It was nothing."

She nodded once more, a teasing smile on her face, "C'mon Zev…what was it? You're spacy like that, but never this spacey."

He frowned a little. "It…does not matter."

Thesa paused and shrugged, "Alright, if you say so." She nodded once more as she looked around the room, then nodded back to the hallway, "Shall we keep going?"

"Yes. I am trying to think of what else there is that you might like to see."

“I want to see everything on the ship, that I haven’t seen yet of course,” She said, looking at him.

He nodded a little, and started walking.

Thesa followed quietly, looking around at everything, trying to imagine how long it took to construct the ship.

It had likely taken at least a year, maybe more, to construct this rather intricate and well-made ship.

"Where to next?" She asked, breaking the silence that came with them walking along.

"This." he opened a door to another workshop, this one just a few more specialized androids working carefully on very small components.

Thesa paused as she poked her head inside, looking around with happy interest. Now this looked interesting. "What are they working on?"

"Brain pieces. I think. Probably." he replied.

She nodded, watching them work silently, "For more androids I assume?"

"Yes." he nodded a little bit.

Thesa seemed happy that she had guessed correctly, even though it was far from a hard thing to guess. Mostly everything on this ship seemed to be directed towards creating androids.

"Alexei is, well…perhaps a workaholic would be the best word to describe him with. I do not think he would create a ship without an entire workshop on board." Zev said, vaguely…amused?

She chuckled and nodded, “I don’t think that’s a bad thing, but it’s amusing to think that all of his ships have somewhere to work on board. Does he never take breaks?”

"No, I don't believe he does." Zev said thoughtfully, blinking at her for a moment.

Thesa smiled and nodded, then shrugged, "I suppose everyone does their thing differently…I think I'd get too stressed with no breaks."
