Although the group commonly have burdens over their shoulders and actually still have them, one should always take some time to relax. Everyone has different methods of relaxation, some like to walk and some like to stay at home with a book as a comfort.
But Commander Alia and Mogranius decide to relax with each other as a comfort, spending time together alone in their house. Well being alone in a house has become impossible thanks to all the kids occupying them but now in mid day when everyone else is away, they can spend some time alone.
Throughout the month they barely got any privacy thanks to the travelling, which neccesarily means that they had to keep their professional standards high, well more like Commander Alia kept it and Mogranius continued to be a goof to keep the kids laughing. But my point is that they had no time to "Connect".
