Aboard the Samsara, Sunday Afternoon
If her time around and aboard the Cape Rouge hadn't already taught Octavia that boats were a lot of work, this past year with one of her own definitely would have. There seemed to always be something to check, maybe something to fix or otherwise give some maintenance to - and especially when you'd been gone for a while. And after breakfast, Octavia had finally taken the time to go over everything. Just, methodically and thoroughly checking everything so she wouldn't run into any trouble the next time she took the Samsara out of the port.
(Which she also figured she should do sometime soon, probably. She may have been using the thing like a houseboat, but it was meant for cruising around in.)
In some ways, it had felt like a couple of hours of meditation.
And she'd finished the whole thing off by cleaning the back deck. Which meant that now that she was done, she... sank down in one of the seats with a big sigh, her head tipping back until she could look up at the sky.
Right, that was all done.
[ooc: Expecting one.]

Or maybe that was just his wishful thinking talking.

Sweaty, though, yeah. There was just much less grease than when Duke did this sort of thing, because she had to less engine stuff to do.

And down into the ship he went.

She watched him go, with something faintly amused about her expression. And then managed to actually pull herself all the way upright again.

"Here we go," he called, returning with two large glasses, and set them down.
He poured a measure of whiskey into his own.

"Does that even go with iced tea?" she wondered, as she scooted over on her seat a little, making room.
no subject
He picked up the pitcher and poured her glass first, then his own.

She leaned over to pick up the non-scotch one.

"Boat's clean and checked for anything that might become a problem."

And then savored that peach flavor.

"It tastes like fruit."
That was a 'yes' in Octaviese.

"... That's what that was?"

Her expression was already shifting. "So you made this for me?"
Don't look so touched and surprised, Tavi, you'd been together for most of a year.
