It was close to dawn, at least as far as she could tell by the hour, when they both left their rooms. Liv was wearing a jumpsuit again, but traded her white, medical one for the same as Amos and the others wore. There was no one in the hallway and she figured Naomi and the others were already with the Rocinante.
She hears Amos grit his teeth beside her, making her glance up at him and when he suddenly holds still, Liv follows his example. "I've got an idea," he murmured, kissing the top of her head before disappearing into the other direction they had to go. He didn't give any further explanation but Liv shrugs before making her way to their ship.
Entering it, she hears the voices of Naomi and Holden. Holden had his back turned to hear and she hears Alex shouting from his chair : "And I love flying this thing, Cap. And I figured you needed a pilot on this mission."
It made Liv grin when she hears Naomi's melodic voice talking towards Holden, "You're not rid of us yet."
"And I figured," Liv closed the distance between Holden and her, making him lock eyes with Liv with a surprised look on his face. "I figured there's always room for a medic. In case Amos gets shot again," she grins, hearing the others laugh.
Holden gives her a pat on the shoulder and nods. "Glad to have you on board. All of you. Talking about Amos," he looks at Naomi again, "I suppose we lost him because of our previous discussion?"
Naomi flashed him a smile and Liv couldn't help but shaking her head. "No," Naomi hummed, "I walked passed him a few minutes ago, he'll be right here in a few moments. He's…doing something first."
Liv arched a brow and Naomi walked over to her. "He's painting a pin-up on the outside of the Rocinante," she grins and Liv chuckles softly. "Of course he is," she replies, glancing up at the woman next to her.
"Where are we going this time," she asked, following Naomi to the level below.
"We need to locate a ship."
But Naomi turns to her and leans against the wall with her elbow. Grinning wide at Liv. "So, Amos and you?"
"Amos and me, what?" Liv asked innocent, letting her fingers grace a suit next to her.
"Don't play with me, Newbie," Naomi smirked, "you know full well what I mean."
"I've got no idea," Liv grinned, deserving a scoff from Naomi.
"Is Liv short for something?"
"Olivia," she replied, making Naomi nod slowly before they hear Holden call out their names.
Glancing at each other for just a second, they both make their way to the upper level and Liv feels her heart flutter seeing Amos standing at the side. He beckons her with a nod of his head and a grin of his own when he pulls her closer to him. His hand resting on the small of her back and they're all watching Holden now.
The captain tells them what their mission is ; locating a ship that's called the Scopuli. It seemed that simple, so easy. And Liv nodded when asked if she was certain that she wanted to come. Because, as the rest of them, she could easily say 'no' and be done with all this. They were granted a room at Tycho station and could sit this one out.
And she'd lie if Liv didn't think about it, but when she feels a pair of eyes burning in her skull, she looks up and meets the intense gaze of Amos. She wasn't sure what he'd do if she decided to stay behind. He was loyal to Naomi as well as to her.
She said yes. Not because she wanted to go, but because Liv didn't want to make Amos choose between her and the others. Not only for that, but when her gaze travels each of the Rocinante's crew, she can't help but smile. She'd started to care about every single one of them and couldn't stay behind wondering if they were fine out there.
In the end, she just shrugged with a playful grin. "You guys may need someone to keep you all out of trouble. I think I'm the one to do that."
Laughter broke out and Holden nodded while putting a hand on her shoulder. "Thank you, again," he murmured. "You're the kindest of us all," he whispered before turning to Alex. Nodding towards the pilot that it's time to start the engines.
