Alexy ran a hand through his new hair, ''Horisho, spasibo, Pavel would be proud'' he siad looking himself over and grinnimg, showing his pearly whites, he smiled and stood back up, walking over to the bench with his clothes on it,

''Say, wes...'' he said dropping the towel and facing away from him while he pulled a pair of sports undies on, then turmed back to continue, ''Is there somethimg you're embarrassed to say? Your cheeks go red whenever youre around me, and I pretty sure its not the heat od the desert,'' he said pulling his combats on.

"Ah-h, well," West shrugged evasively, turning away for a moment, to pull out the gel from his pack and spike his hair. And to put his thoughts together, managing to come up with an answer that was basically true- out of context -, "You're just really overestimating my heat tolerance. I'm just a lousy civillian Doctor, remember? Nowhere near as badass as you."

Yes, yes, that was an entirely believable reasonable answer and completely true, if you didn't count in the part of the blushing which was totally because I have a stupid crush on you. Stupid perfect asshole, be less awesome! Act less cute! Give me a reason to not like you so much!

"Oh wait!" He swooped out a little gob of gel, walked up to Alexy and reached up to his hair, giving him a somewhat rushed, cheesy little mohawk. "S'perfect. Suits you. Um..." he though for a moment, then his eyes lit up, "YA lyublyu tebya!" He furrowed his brow, big blue eyes staring up at Alexy, "Did I pronounce that right? Weaver's been teaching me."

Alexy raised an eyebrow, Folded his arms and shifted his weight to one leg, "Close... but i got the meaning," He said looking him up and down, "What did Waever tell you that meant? Because what it does mean, Is a Big Declaration." He said Smirking at him.

West furrowed his brow, confused and just slightly worried that he'd just insulted Alexy, "Fantastic. Or, the closest translation to it. 'A big declaration', that's close though, right? Fantastic, a big declaration."

He turned back toward the sink and put the gel into his pack, then took the pack into his hands. As much as he would love to hang out all day in here, he still had work to do. Though, he didn't feel like shooting things anymore.

The ride was boring. Normally, Ben would be able to occupy himself with mental mind games or sleep, but he wasn't tired and every time he tried to do games in his head, it would flicker over to images of the native girl. Right. He needed to get this out of his head, maybe if he spoke to her, he'd learn that she had a terrible boring personality and then he wouldn't like her. Not that he did like her.

He flipped around in his seat, catching her attention. "C'mere," he said, "Come sit with me."

The girl was enjoying the ride so far, no matter how boring it was really. All she was doing was looking outside, her head set gently upon the glass. Even that was warm to the touch, stupid desert. She sighed softly to herself, this was going to be a long trip especially with nothing to do. Her attention was soon taken to something else, th other officer who flipped around in his seat. Wait, he wanted her to come sit with him? Why would he want that? She frowned to herself a bit, might as well. So Neena got up from her own seat, and made her way into the one next to him.

"What do you want?" she said, eyebrow raised curiously.

"Don't worry, you're not in trouble," he said, arching an eyebrow. "I'm bored and thought you looked bored too. It's a long drive out to the city, and the lack of background chatter is annoying." Yes, that makes sense. "You're Neena, right? I read your file. I'm Ben. Um. How are you? Did you have breakfast?"

Neena just sort of stared at him for a moment, unblinking before shifting her eyes away for just a moment. Oh wow, he read he file, how interesting that was. Though, it wasn't interesting at all, she was sure almost any higher ups read her file. It's what they did right? Read peoples files? Learned about them? At least she could assumed as much.

With a soft sigh, the girl looked back over to him while crossing her arms over her chest. "Yes I am bored," she began, "I'm fine and I have eaten breakfast at the mess hall before this."

Ben frowned, he wasn't terribly good at this. Small talk. Ech.

"It's really awful, isn't it?" he said quickly, "The food in the mess hall. There's a rumor going on around that the kitchen staff have a treasure box hidden, that they keep all the edible food in. And they eat it. And all of our food, comes from some underground storage, that's been there since way before the war. I don't know if it's true, but I do know that there's at least a bunker beneath the mess hall, but it's old and is supposed to be boarded up."

Neena shook her head at his words. It didn't much matter to her WHERE the food came from, just as long as it was something she could eat. "I don't mind it at all," she said, "if you're picky then you're just going to starve right? I'm certainly not going to let myself go hungry just because the food isn't as tasty as it could be." The girl shrugged her shoulders lightly.

"I'm not picky," he pouted. "I just don't consider the stuff we're served in the mess hall as food."

He felt a smidgen of upset rising in his chest. His plan was working, the more he spoke to her, the less he liked her. And while he should be pleased, he wasn't. He was the exact opposite of pleased. Because suddenly for some reason, the more he spoke to her, the more he wanted to like her. It was all terribly conflicting, and he fidgeted in his seat.

"Are you scared about going into the city? Cause it's your first time?" Change of subject. Yes, good.

"It sounds like you are," she said, looking down at her lap for a moment as she moved her legs about slightly.

Neena was unsure if she liked him or not, he seemed alright for the time being, but who knew if that was really what he was like. She'd have to see, and if he ended up being an asshole well.. she'd move back to her own seat upon learning so. As soon as he began to talk again, she looked back over towards him.

"Scared? No," she stated, "nervous perhaps, but not scared at all."

"That's good," he smiled, leaning his head against the window. "A lot of people are scared their first time. I remember I was terrified. You seem very strong, you'll do good at Delta, I think. Do you plan to stay? Or do you have sights on serving at one of the other bases?"

Maybe he could marry her, and they could both go to Alpha. His parents would approve. She's strong, and she was pretty- people who were good looking tended to be good PR. Impressive and whatnot.

"Well I suppose they've got their reasons to be scared," she said, "it is the city and from what I've heard it not the safest place to be. I do reckon I am rather strong for someone of my size, you need to be pretty strong when in the military and on the subject of staying or not, I haven't even thought about it really." Neena shrugged once again, she was a newbie and this was the first base she had been too. She wasn't even sure why she would even think about serving at a different base yet? She'd need to stay here for a bit, get use to the lifestyle that came with being here. Then perhaps she would think about it.

((WTF BEEN!? You barely know her yet and you're thinking about marriage? XD What's wrong with you man?!))

Alexy laughed aloud he unfolded his arms he picked up his shirt shurgging it on, before shaking his head slightly and putting a hand on wes's head scuffing his hair a little, ''I think its best if you find a new teacher'' he said lifting his hand off westlake's head, ''Beacuse that, wasn't even close, you just said you loved me.'' he said picking up his jacket and began sliding it on, ''Not that i mind being loved, but im afraid i'c never love you back.'' he said with a half smile,

Abby frowned as the girl moved away. She was about to share the carrot she'd bribed the cooks for, with her.
Abby sighed and decided to use the spare seat for her feet and save her carrot for later.
She had so much energy and so little to do.
She watched as the others interacted and lay on her seat wishing she could sleep.
