RE: Talk in the Cockpit
Cox nods as Unna talks about being jaded. As Unna smells his hair, he closes his eyes and caresses her shoulder. Her kisses and massaging generated a familiar shiver, but this one felt natural rather than force-induced.
"Given my recent - promotion - " Cox strains to utter that last word. "I think that's a good idea. They're expecting me to be the emotionally stable one on this mission. I guess they don't realize how much I love you and that I could be as compromised as them, if not more. And I'm still confused about everything that happened after last night."
Cox looks up at Unna with tears in his eyes. Unna senses that these are tears of happiness and of sadness and a hint of fear. She couldn't tell whether the fear was from the promotion or that she, Unna, would be on a dangerous mission or perhaps both.
"Can we go somewhere comfortable?"
