Zev stayed awake with Thesa. Not that that was any real effort for him; he could have stayed "awake" for days with little to no side effects.
"And it became Human, in most ways that mattered." // OxO // OPEN
Soon she was nodding off though, moving from her sitting position and trying to find a comfortable way to sleep in the floor, especially with no pillow or even a light blanket.
Zev eventually "fell asleep", leaving subprograms running to continue simulating his breathing.
Thesa laid out on the floor, resting her head on her arms to act as a pillow while she slept.
Zev continued to "sleep".
(Timeskip?)
(sure. to wehn?)
(Maybe the morning, or later in the day after they've finished most of the repairs? Idk, I want something to happen that will throw them off their path, either on the planet or on their way to Alexi)
(Hm. Actually I was planning on Alexi having certain plans for Zev that would result in Zev's "death"? Like Alexi was planning on replacing Zev's consciousness with his own, which would essentially result in Zev's death. It's hard to explain)
(OOOOOOH I understanddddd, I played a game with a very similar plot to that, I'm totally on board with that :) )
(So when should we timeskip to?)
(yeahh I'm basically stealing the plot from the book I based this off of RIP lol)
(Timeskip to the next late morningg?)
Thesa set the final side in with a sigh and held it steady while Harlin welded the holding piece in place, climbing down from the roof of the ship and grinning. Finally, they had gotten the window panel in, and could seal it up so it would be air tight and safe for people inside of it.
(haha alright)
Zev was assisting, holding the panel in place and also checking visually that there were no holes or little damages.
"Well, now I just have to do a little more internal work on the engine and boosters, and then my baby will be back in top condition and we can get back out into space." She said, watching the welding job carefully as well as trying to keep an eye on Teagan as she played with a doll next to the ship in view of all three of them.
Zev nodded in agreement with Thesa, though he remained silent. He just hoped that his wrist didn't misbehave again.
As soon as the welding was done, Thesa gave a thumbs up to Harlin and shouted, "It looks good!" She glanced over at Zev and Teagan, smiling gently, "Do you want to go back inside? Or stay out here for a while?"
Zev shrugged his shoulders. "I don't have a preference." He replied. "Although this needs to be checked for holes."
"Yeah, about that, would you mind checking it for holes before we head back up? I trust Harlin's welding, but it's better safe than sorry." She asked, watching as Teagan made her way towards the door, making the decision to go inside quite easy.
Zev nodded. "Of course." He replied placidly. He headed to the window, carefully beginning to check it for holes.
Thesa smiled and gave him a thumbs up, "Thanks, you're the best Zev." She debated whether to stay outside with him or go inside with the others, eventually deciding to just stay out with him until he had finished.
Zev nodded. "Yes, I am." he replied without a hint of arrogance, continuing to work on the window.
"So, what did you think of the movie last night?" She asked, taking a seat cross-legged a few feet away from him as she watched him work.
He shrugged his shoulders. "I…have no opinion." He replied, running a hand through his hair and then continuing to work.
Thesa sighed and looked up at the sky, "Well, that makes small talk with you ten times more difficult, I forgot that you don't have opinions, or favorites, or anything like that."
Zev made a sound that could have, perhaps, in another person, been a laugh. "My apologies."
"What do you want to talk about then? And don't say you don't care." She asked, quickly adding on that specific as she drummed her fingers against the ground, "Or that you don't know, I know that smart head of yours could think of something."
Zev blinked slowly, still working. "But I do not know." He replied slowly.
Thesa sighed and laughed lightly, "There's gotta be something floating around in that brain of yours that you want to talk about, c'mon."
"Nothing can float in my brain. There's no liquid." he retorted, shaking his head.
