Dr Elune whimpered faintly, unmoving as they helplessly stared up into the open sky.

"Come now, doctor... Everything will be okay." Alex stroked a hand along the doctor's forehead gently, smiling reassuiringly.

Shaking their head, the doctor groaned, "Why does my body ache? I was only answering questions... And yet, I ache..."

Alex sighed, "Admittedly, you were sitting still for hours. Also, you are over dramatic enough that it is probably phsycological."

Pouting up at Alex, the doctor feebly tried to sit up... They did not make it far before flopping back down instead, "Either way, I am thankful Ren made sure this is only every second day... I am exhausted after only the first week!"

As Alex smiled, the doctor looked back up at the sky, smiling up at the faintly lavender hue, "I have to say... The sky here is really pretty."

Alex nodded, looking up as well, "Indeed. It took me a little getting used to... In the station, the air is thin enough that we always see the stars. I should come out into the garden more often."

Nodding, the doctor grinned, "Hey, did you know... The air over on Earth is more of a blue colour?"

Alex blinked in surprise, "No, I did not. I had assumed from my reading that skies were naturally this purplish-blue hue."

Grinning smugly, the doctor coninued, "Blue is the natural colour, actually. We only started getting the purple mixed in when we manufactured the atmosphere to be habitable... Side affect from removing too many of the gasses we don't care about."

You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

Humming thoughtfully, Alex continued stroking along the doctor's head, smiling faintly, "We should head inside, soon... You should eat something proper, before heading to bed. You have tomorrow to finish resting, after all."

Giggling, the doctor poked Alex in the side, "You know me, I will stay up late playing around. The meal sounds like a good idea, though...." Pausing for an exagerated yawn, the doctor smirked, "Or, I could fall asleep right here, and have you princess-carry me to bed."

Laughing softly, Alex shook their head, "While I could, I think I would have Hope do it. The result would be funnier."

Groaning as they finnaly pried themself up, Dr Elune eld up their hands in defeat, "Inside it is. Hey, any progress while I was out?"

"Hmm? Regarding what?"

"... Anything?"

Grinning, Alex nodded, "Francis is starting to get a feel for who we should aproach first, Laura thinks she has cracked the design for the low power force-shield, and Hope has a date to fire the... Ahem, PEWPEW."

"... That name is still stupid."

"I have looked over the deisgn, and, well... You will want to go watch. It is on an off day."

Raising an eyebrow, Dr Elune nodded silently as they walked into the house, with the doctor eagerly awaiting what Alex would try to make from Greg's kitchen today.
