When Sydni mentioned a boat, Simon's face noticeably paled. "Um, I don't know how to drive a boat," he said shortly, although it was more than obvious there was more to it than that. But he didn't elaborate, just looked a little freaked out by the prospect.
"Flowers are good, though," he agreed, though his voice was still a little absent. "Very classy. And free, always a plus." Now he just had to figure out where the hell he was going to find flowers around here. He could always buy them, but then they would not be as free as he needed them to be. Also, that would dredge up another problem of what kind to get? If he picked them, there wouldn't be a choice in what he got. At a store, the endless possibilities would short out his brain.
He smiled at Sydni, whose whole voice and demeanor had changed. True she looked a little embarassed, but there was more to it. She looked, well... sad. He'd had a bad feeling that his coming here might make her depressed, since some of her friends were leaving. Now he felt bad.
Getting up from the bed, he walked over to her and gave her a quick hug. "I'm sorry about Miklos and Starbuck," he told her. "I knew you kinda hung out with them, and you seem pretty bummed about them leaving." It was only just then that he noticed she was in her PJs, and the room smelled like popcorn. "Are you throwing a pity party?" he asked teasingly. "And didn't invite me? I'm kind of offended."
