ASH

"Is there any particular reason you can't do it yourself?" Ash eyebrows furrow as he glance at the fruit in your hands. You appear stumped and Ash can see the way you hesitate, hands drawing closer to your centre, by the blunt question. "Um, just, wanted your help." You answer with an inflection at the end that makes it sound more like a suggestion. Ash brows relax as he lets out a please hum, nodding to himself as he reaches out to grab the fruit. "Very well. I can assist you, dearest."

○ His first question from above sounds mean. But Ash means it in the most innocent way possible. More concern about your well-being because you need help with a fruit? Something so… small?

●Doesn't need much convincing, but does need directions, as I doubt he has much experience with fruits. But even with your directions, he will use surgical precision to peel that thing. Makes you feel like you're watching open-heart surgery with how careful he is.

○We've seen Ash eat cereal in the movie, so I like to think he can process food better than the others; therefore, have this mental image of Ash licking the juice from his fingers if he makes a mess. Not sure if he would have taste receptors, as he could be doing the action to stay relatively clean till he finishes the task for you

●However, Ash gives me the vibe that he could say no to your request. Depends on whether he's busy or not, but most of the time will accept.

LANCE BISHOP

"Bishop. Would-" you blink owlishly as Bishop nibble fingers pluck the fruit from your fingers. "Now how did you get this? I wasn't aware we had oranges on board." Bishop gentle inquires, taking a moment to admire the fruit. Spinning it in his hands as he takes note of the textures. "I made a trade for it." You answer slowly, as if having to remember what each word meant. Your eyes watching diligently as his thumb presses into the fruit's skin. "Of course," Bishop nods his head at your answer, his gives you a warm smile and seems to be proud of you.

○You don't even start the sentence, as the moment Bishop hears the softest impression that you need something from him– his full attention is on you. With a glance down at your outstretched hand towards the fruit. He is grabbing it and peeling it for you in a matter of seconds.

●Makes a comment on how you got it. Completely ignores how you're buffering from lag at how quickly his actions are. His questions are full of curiosity, and his tone is impressed by your resourcefulness.

○He's awfully delighted that you came to him. You expect him to peel it and give you the un-skinned fruit, but no. He peels a slice and holds the fruit for you. Passing you slice by slice till you finish or have had enough. You can try to dismiss him and take the whole fruit back, but he brushes off any points you have and reminds beside you.

●Please give him some praise for it. He's such a sweetheart

DAVID-8

You feel your smile slowly falter as David continues to stare at the fruit in your hand, you're unsure if you should wait for his answer or brush it off and leave the room. Surely he isn't mad at the question, right? David's soft hum breaks you from your thoughts, appearing to have made his decide as his fond glaze finally lifts to meet yours. A charming smile replace his stoic expression, "Of course, my dear." David makes a show to bring one hand to grab your wrist, as if to settle your hand while his other pucks the fruit from you. Or was it a thinly vail display of control over you? You don't pay much attention to the action as you smile happily at David, relief he is going along with your and doesn't seem too upset. You watch eagerly as David spins the fruit in his hands, still smiling charmingly at you while lightly toss it in the air and catching it. "This is an easy task, one I'm happy to do. " He catches the fruit and pauses for a minute, his smile shifting to a concern frown. "However, I can't help but wonder, are you feeling alright, docotor?"

○If it were anyone else asking, David would be giving a tight, polite smile that immediately tells you he hates that question. I feel like the reason he'll hate it is that the task is beneath him. It's easy that a child could do it. It'll be so painfully obvious that the reason someone would ask him to do it is because he's a sythinic. That he has to obey and that the question reveals what they think of him. Naturally, after the interaction, David might have a grudge against the person.

●However. Being a significant other is what saves you from becoming an experiment. While David gives the impression that he would say no to your request, and he does have the ability to decline it, he never says no.

○It shouldn't be unexpected that he needs some convincing to accomplish the act. He makes some light taunts as he holds the fruit in his hands. As you try to reassure him that you're asking him because he's your significant other. That significant others ask each other little harmless favours like that and not because he's a sythinic who has to listen to commands.

●Somehow, this harmless test turns around on you, and it feels like you're being tested as David listens to your every word, to every emotive tone you express and studies your every expression.

KIRSH

"No." Kirsh stern voice cuts you off. "I didn't even finish the sentence! Let me finish asking. At least!" you grumbles as you step closer to Kirsh, shaking the orange in your hand in disbelief at the care taker. "Fine," Kirsh roll his eyes but steps away from the monitor to face you directly all the same, "Go on. Ask me." "Kirsh," You reach out to grab one of his hand, clutching it to your chest as you stare at him with the best doe eyes you can mange, "could you please peel this orange for me?" Kirsh lets out a hum, his thumb rubbing over your knuckles as he tilt his head in that way he does as he carefully think over the problem. Your smile begins to teeter over the line of happy expectation, believing Kirsh will answer yes. Kirsh softly smiles as he takes notice of your expression, appearing to have been waiting for it specifically. "No." He answer bluntly as you groan in distress.

○He'll cut you off with a sharp 'no' either once you finish your question or halfway, as he glances your direction and sees the orange your lifting towards him. You have to convince him to do it. With lots of praise, "You got that magic touch, Kirsh!" Some 'please Kirsh!' and reasoning (lying) with him that your hand hurts to do the action.

●Really depends on your timing; if he's busy with his work, either observing the creatures or tinkering away, he'll shut you down. If you try to be persistent during these moments, he's sharp wit comes out, and he'll shut you down. To the point where you want to leave to get away from his words. But afterwards, once he's finished with his duties, you'll find him approaching you with a plate of peeled oranges.

○But if you caught him in between things, after some convincing, he lets out a huff and holds his hand out for the fruit. Taking it out with the biggest eye roll as he lightly taunts your abilities. Yet he cleans the small fruit, taking all the stringy bits off with such care you know he's complaining is more for his dignity.

●Biggest diva, regardless of when you catch him, he expects so many words of gratitude from you. You kiss his cheek in a show of thanks. It'll have him roll his eyes, but his taunts soften and reduce after the action.

WALTER 1

"Is this to your liking?" Walter asked as he holds the peel orange to you with a small smile. It was a strange request from you, and one of the rare times that Walter would appear visible surprise. Yet hearing you kindly ask makes he all the more please to help– to serve you. "This is perfect, thank you Walter!" You cheerily smile as you accept the fruit. Walter's brow raise as you don't immediately eat it, instead moving closer to him. Watching closely as you bring a hand to grab the front of his hoodie, once feeling you lightly tugging him does he understand. Leaning forward to your height, waiting patiently as your lips press chastely on his cheek. His smile, appearing more wide and softer from your action as he pulls away.

○ Another one who is confused by the request. It seems like such an easy task. Especially comparing it to everything you have done to earn your spot on the ship and what you do on the ship. He's mostly curious about why you need help. Along with where you get that fruit from. He might have to check in with Mother later to see what other surprises there are. He will become concerned if you mention your hand is sore. Then you have Walter follow you around to help you with tasks for the rest of the day.

● This could, somehow, be the strangest thing any of the crew members has asked him to do. Mainly from the surprise of where the orange came from. However, you ask so sweetly and given the nature of your relationship. The moment you finish your question, he gently takes the fruit from your hand. He's giving you the softest smile as he peels it. He will be thinking of this memory fondly whenever you go back into cyro sleep.

○Any praises or kisses you give to show your gratitude will leave him flustered because, again, it's only some fruit. He's helped with more complicated tasks. But the gesture is so sweet and human that he accepts it all the same. Also, if you do kiss him, it only makes this his favourite memory to revisit.
