"I know this is a big adjustment sweetie, but I promise things will work out." Juliet insisted as she swam down the corridor alongside her mate. A space station with sections designed for aquatic species was so cool! She'd been exploring with Micha and Rohan, as well as spending time with Cora, while waiting for her beloved to wake up. It had been a rude shock to the merman to find himself in the situation they were in now, she knew that, but Juliet was still optimistic about the future here.

"There's so much to see!" First though she wanted to get to the observation lounge they'd discovered a few days before, on the side of the ring facing the gas giant they orbited. "Think of it as an adventure."

In response, Cristiano gave a small sigh but a nod of agreement. "I know," he replied, though his stomach had felt sick since the moment he opened his eyes and came to the startling news that he wasn't in the ocean. There wasn't any good sand...Everything had felt so fake in the room he woke in, but maybe there was an actual pool like at the temple filled with sand and properly built mer homes.

"I just don't know why it has to be in space. Anything else!" He groaned a little as his long, powerful tail flicked slowly but propelled him easily beside Juliet. His hand reached out to take hers and squeeze it. Cristiano was scared. Plain and simple. He barely trusted humans let alone their machines and now he was thrust into a human-made machine in outer space!

"Did you at least have fun with the others? I'm sorry I wasn't there when you got up." He had already apologized perhaps five or so times on the subject, but he felt it was his duty to be there by her side and instead he had been in some kind of coma. At least he wasn't sick any longer. The vile black goo spilling in the ocean had been really wrecking with his system.

She knew he was struggling with the situation and Juliet wanted to help him adjust, but honestly she wasn't sure how other than being there for him. Hopefully they'd find someplace that would make him more at ease.

Juliet squeezed his hand back and leaned over to kiss him on the cheek. "It wouldn't be my first choice either, but we should make the best of it."

She beamed at his question. "I've had a good time with Rohan and the others yes. He's such a flirt, it's funny. I've only got eyes for you though my love and he knows it." Honestly she wasn't sure if there was anything or anyone Rohan wouldn't flirt with. "And quit apologizing! It isn't your fault, nobody has any control over when they wake up here."

The man chuckled slightly, twisting over so he swam with his chest to the ceiling, changing hands to continue to hold Juliet's. "I'm glad you were kept in good company and safe," Cristiano said.

"Rohan is too much energy, even for me, but he does make for a good shoaling buddy." He smiled a bit, trying not to show his frown as he considered they wouldn't have any shoaling on board here.

"You know I'll apologize for anything. It's the right thing to do, my love!" He grinned at her widely, this time. "How can I be your knight if I am not there? Hmph."

	She would miss the ocean and all its wonderful complexity too, but that didn't mean they couldn't have adventures here. "Ham." Juliet rolled her eyes affectionately. "You shouldn't apologize for what you can't control." She squeezed his hand again. "But you're definitely my knight, even if you don't wear shining armor." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"What's ham?" Cristiano asked with a curious smile as they drift up the pathways. "I'll apologize anyway. You know that's just what I do." He stopped after another flit of his tail and tugged on her hand to stop Juliet as well, pulling her close. "I love you. I never want to see you hurting." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Depends on the context." Juliet stuck her tongue out at him. "But right now it means you're being my lovable goofball." "And I know it is." She allowed herself to drift up against him and wrapped her arms around his neck for a brief kiss. "I love you too, and I want to make sure you stay my happy go lucky goofball."
