Neil downed a few generous gulps from a bottle of Dar'monad whiskey after the two of them had playfully tussled to get into the hot tub. His knee hurt and his sinuses had been cleared from the water pressure having been shoved into them, but it was all in good fun. The fact Junebug seemed to have taken some relaxation tips from him gave him a satisfied grin, and he sank into the hot water until it reached his neck, having set the whiskey down next to his side of the tub. The pilot even grabbed his glasses from his now soaked pants, and placed them, equally soaked, over his eyes. "We could probably fame whore enough to get some good deals on some transport items before we leave." He suggested. 

As they relaxed, Taya placed the sloppily erotic video on the vidcaster screen. Suddenly, Neil saw a full sized version of him and Sayeeda having sex. He lowered his glasses, letting out a blunt "well then..." amid the surprised silence. Briefly he wondered if this is what happened back on the node when they were drunk, but no...he would have remembered. What's more, he was far better in bed than that. The technique was [i]all[/i] wrong. At Junebug's comment, he thought for a moment. "Nah, your ass is one of your better qualities. It's just right. One of your best qualities probably."

Unfortunately, the Prince now stood behind Neil about a dozen paces away. His expensive but stately shoes quiet along the pristine floorboards. His jaw was hanging open like the Highlander's bay door. Neil saw Junebug and Taya's looks, and he turned to notice the Prince. Neil blinked, chortling. "You really need to work on your timing." he marveled. 

"What is the meaning of this?" The Prince asked, raised eyebrow and clearly aghast at always being taken aback by something from the crew. 

"It isn't what it looks like!" Taya said, which prompted Aiden and Neil to incredulously exclaim simultaneously "What do you care?" before pausing and looking at one another. The Prince wasn't amused, but Neil clearly thought the entire situation was pretty funny. "Your highness, don't worry. That's a shopped porno. Besides, both of us are better in bed than that. At least I am...I would assume Junebug is. If she could keep up." 

His Captain gave Neil a smirk, and splashed some hot water on him. Neil flinched and wiped his face. "Hey! I was just getting the glasses dry."  

They shared a laugh, though Junebug catching Aiden's expression caught her attention. She looked to have almost forgotten he was there. "What brings the visit, your highness?" She said, using her toned arms to pull herself out of the water to plant her rump on the edge of the hot tub for a moment, just to appear welcoming and polite. 

"I heard you were in a firefight. I came to see if you were alright..." The Prince said, sighing. He walked past Neil, lightly sidestepping the veritable ponds of puddles at the edge of the hot tub. "Are you? Alright?" He asked. "If you were, I was thinking of asking if you'd be my date for the coronation tomorrow. For the dinner, of course."
