“Their simplicity. It’s rarely appreciated as most people enjoy the displays or scents, rather than the deeper details.” Liam said quietly, his eyes fixed on a patch of flowers not far from his location.

“It’s a big ship. It’s nice to find a place where you can hide away, so to speak. No one to ask questions of you, demand anything, hold you to any standard.

“Keeping busy means you don’t have to stop and think about things more deeply, but it also means that you never actually deal with the issues at hand. Sometimes we need a measure of discomfort in order to move forward,” Janna said quietly, their peaceful surroundings continuing to make her relaxed. “Would you say you’re stuck, Liam?”
