Alex stood at the deck of Athena, enjoying the cool ocean breeze with its salty smell as he looked about, feeding his eyes with the blue expanse that stretched as far as he could tell.
His expression was peaceful, very much so after a most rewarding night.
Even as it was made up, it didn't change the fact that he could indulge in it as he pleased.
Recalling a bit of what he'd dreamed about, a faint smile painted his lips.
The urge to head back to bed nagged him but he chose to ignore as he knew that it would only end up working against him if he indulged too much in the dream.
Just then, he heard footsteps alerting him to the presence of Ana.
"You look sleep-deprived." Alex casually pointed out with Ana sighing.
"Ulysses and I stayed up all night talking. I'll have you know now, one of my goals in this life is to be adopted by the Nester family after your quest is completed and the world is saved."
