She smirked, "Over Ten years ago for you. Ten years exactly for me." She laid back on the bed, staring at the ceiling. It was odd that she wasn't uncomfortable talking about this here.. She shrugged it off and smiled a little, biting her lip thoughtfully and folding her hands over her stomach. "The first of many. Many which I'd hoped would never be the last." She avoided his eyes, keeping his thoughtful smile. "Do you think we should explore this ship first? Before we get into this? Or..."
He shrugged. "From how I understand it, we have an eternity to explore the ship. We can't die here." Perhaps that was a good thing, but perhaps it was also a curse. He would only know for sure if he went through it. He reached out and touched her shoulder. It was almost as if nothing had changed between them since she had died, almost as if they had never ended things between them. He liked this. A lot.
She nodded, "Okay, well- I guess if we're stuck together forever, we might as well enjoy it." Perhaps this was a sign from whatever higher power was out there. She smiled at the thought, sitting up and pulling her legs up on the bed. She sat cross legged, watching him with a small smile on her face. "If we've got so long. Why don't we just get familiar with each other first- and then look for information later?" She suggested, "If we have so long, I'm sure no one is really waiting on us. If someone's got bigger plans for us, they'll happen one way or another whether we like it or not. Right?" She shrugged, looking up at him with a small smile. "It'll be just like old times. We'll put together what we already know. And figure the rest out later."
He smiled and tentatively wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "Just like old times," he said softly, smiling at the thought of having forever with her. "I know how we are, Jen. We'll have this figured out in no time." While he was good at observing, she was better at noticing things that he wouldn't have thought to notice. "We always did make a good team."
"Still do." She said softly, almost pulling away but thinking better of it a split second later. Instead, she leaned slightly into him. What was the point of being mean and catty here over something he'd done a few years ago (apparently)? She smiled a little, looking up at him. "Should we go explore- or should we just try and figure some things out from here first?" She asked, "Let's start.. With what we do know." She said softly. "And you seem to know more than me. So. Tell me."
He smiled when she stayed and leaned into him. "So I'm forgiven for that mistake?" He felt it was too much to hope for to kiss her right away, but she had been forgiving so far. "I think I got here a little while before you," he said, holding her close. "I know this is a ship, big one too. We're stuck here until we reach the Golden Shore or until we disappear. The man I talked to wasn't too clear about that." He let his head rest against her temple and smiled.
"The Golden Shore?" She asked, brow furrowing slightly as she leaned back to look up at him. She recoiled slightly, realizing how close she was to him all of a sudden. "What the fuck is that?" She asked, when she finally found her voice. "Mm, I mean. Well. I guess we'll just make the best of what we've got." She offered, laughing softly and pulling away from him a little when her heart began to beat a little too fast.
