The Captain seems a bit attached to our newest member...and so soon, it hasn’t even been a full day and he’s already in the Captain’s quarters...then again, there isn’t that much room down below deck- My thought was cut off as I ran into whom I had assumed was either Arabel or Athula. “Ah, my apologies, Miss- Oh, you’re Aradia, right? Good morning! I was just about to come and see if you and Zeanon were awake..” I stumble over my words for a few moments, admittedly still a bit tired. She smiles lightly at me. “Zeanon is still asleep, but I’m sure we can wake him. It is about time to start breakfast, isn’t it?” “How did you-” I start, though she cuts in. “Nearly the same schedule as the bar back home.” She explains. “Ah, I see.. W-well, let’s get Zeanon up so we can get started?” That had come out more questioning than I had intended.. She nods and takes my hand, which causes me to blush a bit deeper than I had been, and pulls me along to the lower decks. Once below, I notice that the kitchen door was open. Figuring that Zeanon had awoken and just slipped in without either of us noticing, I thought nothing of it….until I saw Zeanon walk out of his quarters. “Aradia, did you open the kitchen earlier?” I ask, looking to the kitchen door. “I did. I figured I’d start up the cookstoves before Zeanon woke up.” She explained, not noticing my sigh of relief. Speaking of the tall Russian man, he had made his way to the kitchen, smiling lightly at the both of us. “Good morning you two, I hope you slept well?”
