On the Fence

[Gar]

As Ni walked back to her bunk she reflected on her most recent failures. However, Jaden's kindness in the face of her blunder had allowed her to focus on the positive side. The person in the back of her mind now was Gadeon. She had barely seen him all day, and she was too ashamed to face him after the calamity she had caused in the cockpit. She wondered if he was okay, and what he must think of her now.

The Zeltron sighed as she finally entered her bunk, finding her luggage set on one of the lower bunks she had claimed. She smiled when she saw Ashla on the bunk adjacent to hers. "Ashla! Hi!" she greeted cheerfully. Memories of Ashla's kindness towards her earlier that day resurfaced. "Oh, um, thanks for...well, thanks for saying those nice things when I was being droopy today," she attempts awkwardly, serious and heartfelt conversations a little difficult for her.
