She chuckled lightly and nodded, "He sounds like a nice dog, I wish they would've let people take their pets along if they had the room."

"I did my research, actually," he said, pointing the spoon lazily in her direction. "They can't survive the deep-freeze of the chryochambers."

"Maybe there's different technology that could work better on animals?" She suggested, starting to think about if there was a way that the animals could survive the journey.

"I'm not smart enough for that shit," he said with a chuckle. "I worked at a fucking warehouse."

She chuckled lightly and shrugged, "I'm not much help in that category, I was studying to become an engineer, cryochambers and how they affect animals is not anywhere near what I know about."

He shrugged. "I had a hobby in journalism, believe it or not. No one would give me a job because I was too 'controversial with my language.'" He shook his head. "Like I'm the only person in the word that fucking curses."

She laughed and finished off the rest of her food, pushing the empty plate away from herself, "I don't think you are, I have a tendency to curse like a sailor if I'm seething mad or if something hurts me quite badly."

"So I just suck at writing?" This was a trap he set on anyone who gave him that reaction, so he his his grin with a spoonful of cereal.

"I highly doubt that you suck at writing." She said, smiling, "I think that maybe you were just trying to get your work published by the wrong people. Try to find a source that doesn't give a shit about the swearing."

He thought for a moment, then his grin grew. Got her. "And how am I supposed to do that in the middle of space?"

She shrugged, "Simple. Keep a journal, write about the days. Not to be a debbie downer but since we woke up from the cryo we're probably going to die on this ship before we reach our destination. People would pay big money to read about what life was like on the ship with only an annoying girl and Mark the Robot as companions."

"Ah, yes, Mark." Damn, she's smart.
"And, by the way, you aren't annoying. I can think of 12 people off the top of my head that are more annoying than you."

Anneliese chuckled and smiled, "You don't think I'm annoying?" She asked, standing up and grabbing her plate to find where she needed to put it away, "That's a first."

There was a small chute next to the dispenser with a light blue light tube highlighting it. "Why would you be annoying?"

"People say I talk too much, especially if the topic is something that I like." She walked to the chute and put her plate and silverware in it, heading back over to Milo.

He shrugged. "To be honest, I like having someone like that in this situation. Gives me something to listen to other than Mark the Fuckbot saying 'You shouldn't be here.'"

She chuckled and sat back down, looking at him, "Mark should stop with the whole 'you shouldn't be here' act once his computer brain realizes that we can't go back into cryosleep, though I'm glad my nonstop talking is good for something.

"Fucking Mark."
He leaned his head back and began drinking the milk, spilling a little bit down the side of his face as his hands shook.

"Mark the fucking asshole bot." She glanced around the room as she waited for him to be done, the milk spilled on the side of his face quite obvious to her for a reason she couldn't figure out.

He set the empty bowl down on the table and wiping his face, grinning. "Whoops, I guess."

She laughed lightly, "I suppose, are you done eating?" She stood up and stretched, bouncing on her toes, "Otherwise I can use my supposedly rich person power and you can continue eating."

He shook his head as tiny vacuum robots came zooming from a panel in the wall and sucked up the spilled milk. "I'll be fire."
Milo made his way to his feet and shuffled over to the chute, tossing the bowl into it.

Anneliese nodded and started towards the door, "Time to figure out what those dorms we passed earlier were, I'm exhausted."

He followed her, his limp a lot less pronounced, but still there.
"Damn, sleep sounds great right now."

"I honestly feel like I could sleep for another twenty years," She said, slowing down so she was walking next to him as they headed to the dorms.
