"Where're we going?" Kira asked. Lemm jumped in his seat and turned to her.
"Don't scare me like that!" he exclaimed.
"Oh, hush. The rest o' the ship is sleeping!" she smiled. Lemm mumbled under his breath and looked back at the screens.
"Gonna answer me?" Kira questioned.
"Huh? What?" Lemm asked. Kira rolled her eyes.
"Where're we going?" she repeated.
"Oh, Right. Zion." Lemm answered.
"Zion?" Kira inquired.
"Yeah, the only city left for us humans." Lemm explained.
"Oh. Will we be staying there long?"
"Well… Me and you will. The rest of the ship will only be staying a week or so."
"Why are we staying behind?"
"Because you need more training and I volunteered to stay behind with you." Lemm blushed.
"But why…" Kira started but was cut off.
"Whatin you two love birds doin'?" Icce asked in his southern drawl. Both Kira and Lemm blushed.
"We're not love birds…" Kira mumbled, "I'll see you tomorrow Lemm… Night." With that she left, leaving the two men to talk. Or at least for the captain, Icce, to tease Lemming.
"So you ha'n't asked 'er out yet?" Icce asked.
"No… why would I do that?" Lemming answered holding back a blush.
"Come on! I'n seen ther way ya look at 'er! Don' play stupi'!" Icce said smacking Lemm on the back. Lemm's eyes widened.
"I don't know what your talking about." He lied.
"Alrigh' Lemm. Believe wha' ya will. Bu' I can see it! I know you likin' 'er!" Icce teased and left the room. Lemm slammed his head down on one of the surrounding tables.
"Is it that obvious?" He asked himself.
