Levana & the others | Three months she had been on Meesan. And three months she hadn't really left the camp. It was too dangerous out there, though Levana hadn't truly seen any danger. She had been tempted, once Rex had fallen asleep beside her one night, to go outside, just past the fence, and sit there for a while, but she chickened out when she had heard a gargled scream. The next morning they discovered a private had had his shoulder ripped open by a type of lizard. She decided to stay inside.
But now Rex and some of his crew were planning an expedition outside. So, putting on her charm, she went over to Rex as he got some of his men together. Some training exercise, it seemed. "Hey darling," she murmured softly to him in the cafeteria. She knew he didn't like them to act like they were together amongst the crew, though everyone knew. But she had said it softly, and everyone was preoccupied with packing anyway. Large bags and supplies littered the floor as all his men packed under his instruction, though he seemed to be taking it easy right now. Everyone was going fine.
She sat beside him, taking opportunity as he relaxed. "How's preparation going?"-d
[9/10/2014 12:00:40 AM] Andrew Daley: Rex| Rex was aware that Levana wanted to go outside, but it was much to dangerous for her to go alone, even more, he didn't really trust others to take care of her and so it was for three months, until he wanted to get outside, plus the scientists wanted to leave and get samples and other things, so he was packing to leave with them. "Hmm?" he asked, not looking behind him, he knew who it was before he turned around to see Levana there. "They are going well Lev, What's up?" he asked her, though he could already see the question burning inside her eyes. -d/fail
[9/10/2014 12:07:09 AM] Keelee Hadland: Levana | She looked at the men for a moment, before turning to Rex. She always hesitated with asking him for something. He had an uncanny way to deny her sometimes. And that was why she was so delayed with asking him about this. "Well," she began, "I know you've been planning this for a little while with the other scientists. And I know that you have an extra seat on the helicopter. And I have learnt a lot from observation so I suppose I was wondering and hoping that, maybe I could come along?" she asked, giving him a sugary sweet smile.-d
[9/10/2014 12:10:10 AM] Andrew Daley: Rex| The leader of the military looked at his girlfriend and bit his lip, looking at her with a wondering gaze, he smiled when she gave him a very sweet smile when she asked if she could come. "Well.. I have a question for you Sweetheart" he smirked as he lent in to look at her in her eyes. "Why aren't you packed?" he asked with a tilt of his head, He knew Levana wanted to go outside for soo long it was painful. -d
[9/10/2014 12:16:44 AM] Keelee Hadland: Levana | She hesitated. "Well, I didn't know if you'd say yes," she said simply. She smiled, looking at him coyly. "Does that question maybe mean I can come then?" she asked, deciding to bat her eyelashes for his benefit. "Besides, I am one tiny person and we'll be out only for a few hours. I won't be part of the training, I'd just be observing, wouldn't I?"-d
[9/10/2014 12:18:35 AM] Andrew Daley: Rex| Rex had to smirk at her, seeing her looking at him coyly, oh she knew tonight she was gonna get it good, he chuckled and nodded at her, meaning she could come with them, but when she said she was only one tiny person, he scoffed and looked at her for a moment. "Anything but tiny" he grinned widely -d
[9/10/2014 12:26:28 AM] Keelee Hadland: Levana & the others | Levana's eyes widened for a second, before she rolled them and nudged him hard, though it wouldn't do any damage whatsoever to him. Whether she was actually angry or just playing around with him wasn't discovered as Dulce came in, dressed in hiking boots, cargo pants and a thick shirt. "You best put some insect repellent on you, honey," she told Levana.
Levana nodded, and she mustn't have been angry at Rex for she quickly kissed his cheek and smiled. "Thank you!" she said, going to finish getting ready quickly.
Dulce watched her go, and then looked at the military leader. One thing was for sure - she wasn't taking shit from Rex if he gave it. But she was polite as she asked, "How many times have you been in the forest?"-d
[9/10/2014 12:31:00 AM] Andrew Daley: Rex| Rex chuckled when she nudged him hard, though it did nothing to him as Dulce came to them, he straightened up slowly and looked at her as she passed Lev the insect repellent. "You will need that, believe me" he chuckled softly as Levana left, his smile faded when she did and turned to Dulce. "Five" he told her, Not once have we seen the Quixinars without them meeting us first" he shook his head lightly -d
[9/10/2014 12:36:05 AM] Keelee Hadland: Levana & the others | Dulce ran her teeth over her tongue in thought. She made a 'tisk' sound. "They always have to meet us first. They don't trust us. Surely you've realised that in your time here?" She may not have liked Sikandar, but Rex didn't seem much of an improvement. She would never say it to his face though. Just subtly. "They're scared. They think it's easier to see us first." Gives them the upper hand, she added in her head but didn't say.-d
[9/10/2014 12:39:18 AM] Andrew Daley: Rex| Rex looked at Dulce and growled a little. "I don't exactly trust them either Dulce, it doesn't mean they get to make all the rules though, Hell, we don't even know where they camp" he sighed and closed his eyes to collect hismelf. "Let's just get ready to go" he said, not caring if the aliens were scared or not, they needed more samples to cure whatever the virus is. -d
[9/10/2014 12:46:26 AM] Keelee Hadland: Levana & the others | Dulce said nothing more, especially since Levana came over. She was armed with a camera and her pack, and the minute she saw both Dulce and Rex look at her and go silent, she clearly thought they were talking about her. "What?" she asked.
Dulce shook her head and smiled at her friend. "Nothing. Just discussing our trail today." She placed her hand on Levana's shoulder. "Let's get going."
The helicopter took the multiple people through the forest, and touched down in a grassy field, causing a herd of frightened axia to run off. Dulce hopped out and helped Levana out, obviously wanting the doctor to stick by her. She didn't want Rex tainting Levana's first view of the forest.
But nothing was going to taint Levana's first view of it. She could hardly believe her eyes! The trees, the feel of the grass under her feet... No concrete, no steel. Pure, unadulterated beauty. She'd never seen anything like it. The air was cool and crisp, not hot and rancid, smelling of fresh ferns and a whiff of clean cotton almost. She closed her eyes and took it all in. Dulce chuckled. "You should see your face."-d
