Viva was certainly very different to the raving panic machine she had been when she'd first found Loire. Given the situation though, it made perfect sense that she was a total wreck earlier and now she was beginning to calm down. Valko had been seriously injured, it had been critical, if she'd left it a minute or two longer, the outcome could have been very different.
While Noah was blunt, a tough guy ... and actually rather attractive though Loire scolded himself for thinking it, Viva was a lot softer and more approachable now. Loire didn't doubt she was a tough chick when she needed to be though, with Noah, it appeared she'd have little choice but to grow a thick skin. Either way, she was pleasant company at least.

"Well I did get you into this mess," She said, a touch amused and a little bit surprised that he was thanking her, " I mean, I didn't really give you much of choice in the matter, what with practically kidnapping you and everything. Sorry about that by the way... "

"I'm the one who should be thanking you," She continued, realizing as she spoke that she was babbling and on the verge of either tears or hysterical laughing and couldn't quite manage to stop herself, "You didn't have to save him but you did. So the least I can do is keep you from getting tossed out the airlock. I mean, how rude is that?"

[b]"I didn't have a choice. I had to save him."[/b] Loire admitted, sometimes he thought it was selfish ... having to save people so he didn't carry their weight on his already over-encumbered conscience... Mostly he had to save Valko because he didn't want to inflict the immense pain of such a loss onto Viva. Though they were strangers, being a twin was something special, and the pain of being separated permanently like that, it was unimaginable until you'd gone through it. [b]"Besides, I did what any other doctor would do, even if I was coerced into it."[/b]

[i]"Oh my god, this is real chocolate," She said with her mouth full, her hand covering her mouth as her eyes welled over with the tears that had been threatening for a while, looking at the doc like he'd given her the moon, "This is so good."[/i]

Loire laughed softly at Viva's response. For bandits, it seemed they didn't steal many luxuries for themselves. [b]"Being a doctor has its perks."[/b] he replied.
[b]"So whats his name?"[/b] Loire asked, looking over at Valko. [b]"And yours for the matter, we sorta skipped the introductions what with you kidnapping me and all."[/b]

Loire wondered what exactly it was he should be doing ... what exactly was going to happen? He'd never been a hostage before, and yet he was treating his kidnappers with unusual kindness. Granted they hadn't tortured him, but he still didn't know what was in store for him. [b]"You have any idea when your captain might drop me off ... or throw me out the airlock if thats the alternative?"[/b] he asked, aware that right now, his fate lay in someone elses hands he wondered if Lucine was out there watching over him right now ... would she be laughing at him? The clever twin, getting himself caught up in such a hilariously stupid scheme.
