“Are you going to introduce him to the others?” Eclipse asked. Cyprus shrugged.
“Depends on who’s on board. Though I’m assuming everyone’s home at the moment.”

“How many people are there again?” Liam asked, turning to Cyprus.
"There's five of us in total. Myself, Eclipse, Noise, Jay, and Icarus," Cyprus listed off
“Okay… got it.” Liam said, rubbing at his neck again.
"Hm…Jay is probably out still, but I'm assuming Icarus and Noise are here," Cyprus mused. He began to walk towards the cockpit area, though he was suddenly stopped by a strange robot hovering just above the floor.
"Hello, Cyprus. Welcome home. I see you have a guest," the robot said, their voice monotonous but vaguely feminine
Liam waved a little, “Hi, I’m Liam.” He said, giving a half smile.
"Greetings, Liam. I am designation Noise," the robot introduced themself as. Cyprus chuckled a bit.
"Don't worry, she's nice. She might seem a little off-putting at first, but she's probably the most bearable person on this ship."
“It’s nice to meet you, Noise.” Liam said, laughing a little.
Noise gave him a small bow. "I hope you enjoy your stay aboard the Storm," she said politely. Cyprus smiled a bit at Liam's laugh but eventually began to walk towards the cockpit again
“Storm? Is that the name of the ship?” Liam asked Cyrpus, following behind him.
Cyprus nodded in agreement. "Jay's idea. This is his ship that he built with Icarus' help. It was originally a retired assault jet that he modified for space exploration," he explained
“Nice, that’s really cool…” Liam replied, the smile in his voice prominent as he looked around as they walked.
Eventually they entered into the cockpit. It was rather spacious for what appeared to be a smaller jet build. In the pilot's chair sat what looked like a teenage boy, with dull blue skin and strange orange eyes. He also appeared to have goat-like metal ears and stubby horns, which only added to his odd appearance. At the sound of them he looked up from his book, a brow raising at the sight of someone he didn't recognize. "Uh…who are you?" he asked Liam
Liam smiled a little, “I’m Liam, Cyrpus’s boyfriend.” He said, waved a little.
The boy arched a brow before looking at Cyprus. "You're into dudes?" he asked almost incredulously. Cyprus nodded a bit sheepishly. The boy didn't respond for a moment, but ended up breaking into a wide grin.
"Ay, that's great man! Welcome to the club, though I'm ace-aro so I'm not really in the 'liking guys' club," the boy chuckled
Liam laughed, “Well, everyone has there own preferences.” He replied, smiling at the boy, “Who are you?” He asked.
"Icarus, co-pilot of the Storm," he introduced himself as. He got to his feet, setting his book and bag of chips aside so he could offer his hand to shake
“Lovely to meet you.” Liam replied, shaking the boys hand and giving him a small smile.
"Well, that's everyone," Cyprus said with a small smile. Icarus shook Liam's hand before returning to his spot
Liam let out a breath, “I don’t know why I was so nervous, everyone here is really nice.”
“Yeah, everyone is pretty nice. With the exception of Jay,” Cyprus chuckled
“I mean… he wasn’t all bad when I met him.” Liam rubbed at the back of his neck, hoping Cyrpus wouldn’t snap at him for what he said.
Cyprus rolled his eyes but still smiled. "Yes, I suppose you aren't wrong. I think I'm the only one who doesn't like him."
Liam laughed a little, “You’re probably right there.” He said, smiling softly.
"Well, you've seen the ship. Not much to it, but I guess it's sort of cool if you've never been on one before," Cyprus said with a shrug
“I think it’s great, don’t forget I’ve never seen something like this before.” Liam said, smiling.
Cyprus smiled a little dorkily. "Should we go back to the apartment now? It's getting a little dark and I don't feel like sleeping in the hammock."
Liam nodded, “Yeah, we should. Let’s go.” He said, taking Cyrpus’s hand in his.
Cyprus smiled, giving his hand an affectionate squeeze before making his way out of the ship
“Thank you for showing me the ship, it’s really cool.” Liam said as they walked back towards the apartment.
