Ava

I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I love baking and I mean... with all the access to resources, we might as well use them. That reminds me, have you seen the stars yet?

STARS?!

*Elli seems to perk up suddenly, almost animated.* Yes! There are so many stars and planets out there! And like... almost none of them are just ghostlight. They're actually there. I'm sure if there's a window somewhere on the Hail Mary...

[Ava breaks down into tears] … no… no this can’t be real.. I’m dreaming..

*Yeah that was about her reaction when she first learned about stars. Although it was before she settled here.* I sure as hell hope not. If I wake up in that damn tree after months of being here I'm gonna be pissed. But I'd bet my soul that this was real. Seriously. C'mon I think I remember where you can look out and see them.

[Ava clears her throat] .. okay, I’ll follow you.

*Elli leads the way through the ship, with a soft bounce in her step before they both settle in front of a window. Her hands fidget idly. She still isn't used to seeing so many stars despite spending so long looking at them.*

[Ava is absolutely hypnotized, the stars are so beautiful, more beautiful than she could ever imagined]

...Good thing Evan just got me some oranges then. I'll put in a double batch. Anything else?

Some coffee would be nice.

Evanthe Sterling, just go with Evan. The stuffs all in the hub but I can bring them to you if you'd like. Any requests?

[Evan hands over a basket of peppers, tomatoes, lettuce, a couple herbs, some potatoes, and a bundle of sunflowers]

Oh my- you are a fucking SAINT, thank you so very much.

… do you need zhem? I could give you some, I have plenty.

… you got painkillers? How did you get a hold of those?

I’m fine Ava. I told you zhat vas an accident, you do not need to vorry about me. Zhis is not zhe COI, you are not in charge of me anymore.

You’re still gonna stick to that story? Fine, I won’t hover.

Why is it so.. hard to believe I’ve killed people?

Because you act so nice, people usually imagine murderers to be openly mean and cruel.

That seems counterintuitive. If you're going to be an efficient murderer you're going to be someone trustworthy.

Or maybe just don’t become a murderer, especially when we’re already in the verge of extinction.

I can be nice and slit a persons throat at the same time.

Yes but people have a hard time understanding that. It’s scary to think that someone so nice could be so cruel.
