Calen always set an alarm, but it had been a long time since he needed it. His body always seemed to know when he needed to wake up, even though his schedule fluctuated wildly from day to day. Perhaps it was the force, or perhaps it was just good training. Either way, his eyes fluttered open a few minutes before he would have gotten his alarm.<br/><br/>The first thing he noticed as his eyes opened was Area kneeling beside him, wrists cuffed, just as he had asked. Despite himself, he couldn't help but smile faintly. In the haze of his sleep, he had almost forgotten about their new arrangement. Of course, remembering what they were doing carried with it the knowledge that they were now under a great deal of pressure, but he didn't dwell on that. For the moment, he was just happy to have a slave worthy of him.<br/><br/>He rolled onto his side and let his hand drift up and down her thigh absently. He had woken up aroused, which was typical, and he was tempted to use his captain to do something about that. Unfortunately, time wasn't on their side. They had a fair bit of preparation to do before she could be introduced to her new crew, and Calen couldn't allow his personal desires to influence that.<br/><br/>"I hope you slept alright in your new position," he said as he pulled himself into a sitting position. There was no denying he was impressed that she had obeyed her first instruction of the morning, but that was only the first of many. She had a lot to deal with last night, from accepting her new position all the way to dealing with having a man she barely knew resting beside her. She didn't look exhausted to him, however, which hopefully meant she was taking everything in stride. She would need to be at her best for the manhunt to come.<br/><br/>With a groan, he pulled himself out of bed and started putting on his pants. He would want to wash up before reporting to the bridge, but he had a few things to take care of first. "It's been enough time that my people should have prepared your uniform and dropped it off. How much time do you need to prepare for the day?"
