Thesa came back to her seat up front a few moments later, flopping down. "Do you want to go change? I think there might be some guys clothes back in the back somewhere." She offered, looking over at him and shrugging, "If you want to look nice for Alexei, its no big deal otherwise."
"And it became Human, in most ways that mattered." // OxO // OPEN
Zev blinked at her, and shook his head. "I do not need to change. I will be fine." he replied, looking at her. "Alexei will not care. It is not as if my clothes will smell."
"True," She said, watching out the front window closely for the ship or anything that would catch her eye besides the black sky and stars.
Zev continued watching. Soon enough, they could see Alexei's ship in the viewport.
Thesa sat up straighter when she spotted the ship, looking at her companion, "Do you want to go tell Alexei that we're here?" She asked, starting to fiddle with buttons on the dash as she tried to relay the message with the ship that they had arrived.
Zev nodded slightly, and headed back to send a message to Alexei. Alexei's ship was big and sleek, a lovely thing designed extraordinarily well.
She couldn't help but gawk at the ship as they drew closer, in awe of the giant ship they were approaching. It reminded her of the ship she used to dream of having some day, before she had settled on her handmade beauty they were in, even if it looked like trash compared to the sleek design of Shokov's ship.
Zev came back. "He knows we are here. They are going to bring us in to dock." he said, looking over at her, then up at the ship.
"Alright," She said, nodding and messing with a few more buttons before sitting back in her seat, ready to take control of the ship at any point again.
Zev was quiet, leaning forward a little bit to look at the ship in front of them.
Thesa was still in awe of the ship as they came in closer, being brought in to wherever they were supposed to dock her ship. It was slower than she expected though, and she got to admire the handiwork of the sleek exterior.
The tractor beam was slowly drawing Thesa's ship in. Paneling slid open to reveal the docking port, and the two ships slowly met, a soft hissing and clicking sound accompanying the joining.
"Wow…" She whispered as the docking port came into view and drew her ship in, her eyes wide in amazement. It looked like magic, even if she knew it was just impeccable mechanics, mechanics that she was very intent on now trying to study.
Zev was quiet, merely waiting. The port dinged with a message, and he went back to check it. "He says we may come aboard now, so long as you are unarmed."
Thesa smiled at the first part of the message and stood up from her seat, hesitating visibly at the added part about being unarmed. She didn't want to give up her only way of protecting herself on a ship large enough to be swarming with hundreds of android guards and probably human ones as well. "Do I have to be unarmed?" She hesitantly asked, rocking on her feet as she looked towards the door of her ship, "They wouldn't have to know, and it's only for my protection."
Zev cocked his head slightly. "They will know if you are armed, Thesa, and then you would get into trouble. I…would not like that to happen." he said slowly, looking at her.
"I feel bare without my knives though, and I won't be able to defend myself," She protested as she bent down and pulled her knives from her boots. Thesa scowled at him and tossed them onto her bed, shaking her head, "Better, wire head?"
Zev blinked slowly at the nickname, but nodded. "You will not likely need to defend yourself, unless you instigate a fight. And even then, you would not need to put up a fight for long."
"I'm boarding a ship I know nothing about in the least and you throw the word 'likely' before telling me I won't have to defend myself? I don't like those odds." She pointed out, heading to the door of her ship anyway and letting her hand hover over the button to open the doors. "Are you ready to go, Zev?"
"I was only being truthful. Would you like the full odds?" He replied as he followed her. "If they would make you feel better, I am sure I can come up with them."
Thesa shook her head, "Nope, I don't need to get more anxious than I already am." She opened the door and stepped out of her ship, looking around carefully and keeping her wits about her as she studied the first part of the ship she had seen beside the outside of the ship.
Zev nodded slightly, following her into the other ship. The walls were sleek and covered with a light paneling, the floor a muted gray tone.
"Is there anyone here?" She asked him, falling back to walk side by side with him and messing with the fabric of her shirt since she didn't have her weapons with her to comfort her.
Someone came around the corner, and cocked their head. "Ah, you're here!" the person was a man, in his middle-age, with a frank, friendly face. "Good. Come with me."
Thesa was wary of the guy, scowling at him even if he had done nothing but been polite. "You're human, right?" She asked, though followed him after looking over at Zev for reassurance that she wasn't being stupid following him.
The man blinked at her, looking confused. "Of…course." he said slowly. "I'm not an android." he led them down the hallways.
Zev followed the man without a question, hands by his sides.
She nodded, apologizing quickly, "Sorry, just nervous I guess. Where are you leading us anyway?" She admired the ship as she followed, also finding points to mark in her memory to help her find her way back to the ship if need be.
"To Alexei." the man replied. "He is eagerly awaiting the return of his android." he continued to lead them down the hallways.
"We're meeting Alexei right now?" She asked, her eyes widening as she realized her childhood hero was going to be in front of her sooner than she had ever thought.
"Yes? Unless you'd rather do something else first." the man replied.
