[Taking a swig of her beer again, Carolina smiles slightly at that mental image. Not exactly the type of guy that gets her interest, but the world does need more good guys.]
Were all of you actually on the same island then? I saw a fire, and had to work out how to get over.
Me, neither. Which sucks 'cause I love swimming. And sunbathing. Can't do much of either one here. I guess we could always go to the hot springs?
[she would be awful at fishing. Jane's a city girl through and through. the entire population of Hadriel could fit into the apartment complex she used to live in]
[Bathing suit? Not on her list of currently owned items. Heck, even her most recent one had been burned down when the water park had caught on fire...]
Is it some place you went to often before coming here?
Can't say I'm familiar with London. Spent a fair amount of my time in a space ship. Not exactly hot springs material.
[Showers, certainly. Had good training facilities, and overall, the ship was fairly large, but it wasn't a luxury ship, built for comfort. It was a military vessel.]
And I've never been in a space ship. It must be something, looking out of a window and seeing stars go by.
[Jane is about as far from military as a person can get. she still has no interest in learning anything like self defense or picking up anything other than mace]
[No doubt some would have found that enjoyable, like stopping to smell the flowers. Carolina? She'd been focused on the mission, on the leader board, on a million other things.]
It's something that is quite awe inspiring, if you stop to think about it.
[while Jane has always been the sort to fly by the seat of her pants while at the same time, going after what she wanted. she met Dan in a chance encounter after a traffic accident and charmed him enough to dump a long-term girlfriend for her]
I'll bet. All those stars with all those planets. Maybe some of 'em have life on them, maybe they don't. It sounds like a lot of possibilities.
[It is also the reason for the Great War, the reason that her mother died the way that she did. Humans and aliens had clashed... Not that surprising, if you think about it.]
Well, without having to explain a whole bunch of stuff, the war was instigated by the Covenant - an alliance of multiple alien species. Lasted for almost three decades.
[Religion had had a part to play in it, on behalf of the aliens.]

Date: 2018-09-17 07:29 pm (UTC)Yeah, so that was lucky. I didn't have to wrangle a rowboat by myself. That would suck, having to cross over.
action
Date: 2018-09-18 12:42 am (UTC)[Relatively speaking anyway. It had given her a work out, and she's kept up her training here.]
Although I still worked up a bit of a sweat.

Date: 2018-09-18 12:54 am (UTC)[she jogs. and hates it. every second of it]
Sounds like a good workout at least.

Date: 2018-09-18 01:52 am (UTC)[Or so Carolina hopes... Otherwise, foot in mouth!]
action
Date: 2018-09-18 02:13 am (UTC)[that would require effort]

Date: 2018-09-18 03:01 am (UTC)[Pausing as she tried to keep the smile off her lips.]
It wouldn't have helped you any.

You know, I haven't actually visited them.

Date: 2018-09-19 03:30 am (UTC)Holy shit. We've got to go! What are you doing next weekend?

Date: 2018-09-19 08:06 pm (UTC)You do now. I'll figure out something to eat and drink while we're there and we'll have a good time.
action
Date: 2018-09-20 12:38 am (UTC)[Although it begs the question as to what do you wear to a hot spring? A bathing suit?]
action
Date: 2018-09-20 12:55 am (UTC)[she takes another swig of her beer. and Jane's both gone in the nude and in a bathing suit. she'll be nice and go with the bathing suit]

action
Date: 2018-09-20 02:40 am (UTC)Don't I wish. I lived in London for four years, I'd have to go to an indoor heated pool or hot tub.
