The floor was covered in tatami mats. Cero found their soft texture and faint earthy scent pleasing, and reminded him of his time on Tyl. He thought about Lith, and was surprised that she still hadn't activated her bracelet, which would have made his beep. She had used it countless times already, so her not using must mean that she was still asleep. After all, the area in which she insisted on staying was extremely safe and guards were protecting the spaceship at all times.
"We're so getting jet-lagged." Rea whispered.
Paper-screen windows were slid open, revealing the morning breeze passing over the serene garden just outside.
"Funny thing for you to say." Cero chuckled as he reached for his cup filled with a sake-like drink.
"Yeah, well… Just because you pilot spaceships doesn't mean you don't get jet-lag." Rea shrugged and took some of the snacks presented on the table for herself. "Sitting on the ground is weird."
"We're sitting on mats."
"Still."
