[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.]

Splurge a little, Nate.

[He probably needs to be careful about conserving space, but alien books. How can he resist?]

[Treasure? Who cares about treasure? He's a book magpie.]

You just went based on the cover art, didn't you?

[ Her smile is a little on the fond side. ]
action;
[His is just as fond, and more than a little in love.]
So, date night. Got any scheduled commitments I should work around?
action;
None, really. My classes won't start until next week. We got time.
You?

[He squeezes her hand.]
So that gives us a few days. I can work with that.
action;
[ She looks down at what she's wearing and then over at the door. ]
If you want, we can...go somewhere now. Grab a bite to eat, maybe check out more of the ship...
action;
[Though he wouldn't mind, as long as they're lost together.]
That'd be good. Let's do that.
action;
[ Her hand squeezes his as she goes to stand, releasing it. ]
But let's eat first. [ Her grumbling stomach agrees with that, and Elena looks a little embarrassed to have put off eating something today. ] As you just heard, I'm starved.
action;
Better go feed the black hole. Food sounds good to me.
action;
[ She's already on her way to the door. And yes, she's grabbing her camera as she goes. ]
Let's hit up the boardwalk. I'm in the mood for a greasy burger and a platter of fries.
action;
[He grabs her hand again as they head out. No sense in missing an opportunity.]
