[At a glance, Nate doesn't seem too perturbed for a recently spirited away from home guy who never expected to go into the upper atmosphere of Earth, much less make it to the far reaches of space. Either he's extremely adaptable or he's great at putting up a front. Then again, why can't it be both?]
This is where we all share a little about ourselves, right? [He raises a hand in a casual wave. Those who have met Nate since his arrival might notice that he is now wearing a wedding ring.] My name's Nathan Drake, my hobbies include climbing and digging into the really dusty parts of the library, and I don't actually like long walks on the beach that much. Which I wouldn't have thought would be an issue since, you know. Space. But then we went to Vacation Planet.
[The cheerful expression of an amiable wiseass slips a little, revealing something closer to wonderment.]
I've gotta tell you, when I boarded my plane home, I didn't expect to end up outside of the solar system. So far, space isn't what I would have pictured. But the view on the observation deck, wow—it's pretty out of this world.
[He chuckles at his own pun, because he's the kind of person who does that.]
Can't say coming here would have been my first choice of next career moves, but I can think of worse places to be. Anyway, good to meet everyone, or at least talk at you. [He shrugs.] Close enough.
[action for nomo #013; this is the first time Nate's returned to the ship since going down to spend a few days in the lap of luxury, and he's brought a few things with him. His area of the room isn't messy yet, possibly because he just doesn't have that much stuff yet, but there are a few packages stacked on his bunk. Nate himself is sitting on the couch, flipping through his journal when he's not playing with the MID.]

[ There's no laughter and no 'HAHA JUST KIDDING!!'. Elena's just wincing. His voice pitching in a disbelieving whine makes her wince all the more. Oops. ]
Sorry.
action;
Well, you are pretty good. I've seen that.
action;
[ Since the other seat is within reach she extends a leg and gently nudges at his thigh with a foot, smiling back. ]
action;
It's all right, you don't have to try to make me feel better. You had natural talent before you ever met me; you just hadn't brought it out yet.
action;
Okay, true. But you still helped.
action;
[A little bit of credit, sure. If nothing else, he'd given her the opportunity to do a lot of ridiculous climbing.
He's quiet for a minute, but it's a fairly companionable silence. It's...really nice.]
So this is pretty convenient.
action;
[ She looks up from the spot she'd been staring at on the ground in front of her, blinking over at him. The silence had been nice, sitting there with him was even more so.
Elena drapes her hands over the arms of her chair, her right close to his. ]
What is?
action;
[He nudges her hand with his knuckles.]
This way I won't get lost when I come to take you on a space date.
action;
[ Her head lolls over to his side. She doesn't need to look down to see the ring, she can feel it under her fingers as they catch over his and brush up to his knuckles. ]
A space date.
Re: action;
We're in space, aren't we? That makes it a space date.
action;
[ Her fingers slide in to lace with his. What is this casual hand holding? ]
action;
[It's great is what it is.]
I know we can't just go back in time. But I figure we can start from the beginning.
[A no-expectations first date between married people.]
What do you say? Will you go out with me?
action;
I'll have to think about it.
action;
You know where I'll be when you decide.
action;
[ Elena gives his hand a tug, a small frown tugging at the corners of her lips. She was just teasing, her mind's already been made up. Space dates are going to be a thing. ]
action;
Hey. Don't frown. At least not unless I mess up our space date...but I think I can come up with something pretty good.
action;
Yeah? What's 'pretty good'?

action;
[ Said as her eyes drop to his mouth, linger, and lift back up to his. ]
That could be fun for the both of us.
action;
Nah. Wrong time and place. As much as he wants to kiss her, he's doing this right.]
Well, in that case. You might want to use the unlimited credits to buy a fancy outfit.
action;
[ She's already bought so much. So much. It's a wonder her roommates haven't made a comment yet. ]
action;
Good. Then you're all set.
