Alicia used a long moment to just lay against the tree-cave wall, resting her tired muscles.  The nanosuit helped a lot, but this planet was still around 3 times the gravity of home, Earth.  It was exhausting beyond belief and she needed a break.  Good news, a few weeks here and she would be in the best shape of her life.  It would be exhausting to adjust completely to the gravity.<br/><br/>The time resting gave her a moment to let her mind wander, and it did just that.  Remembering a few of the comments from the other scientists.  The tree hugger trying to get them to stop just so that he could patch up the small holes their climb had made.  Alicia  hadn’t bothered waiting.  Fucking tree hugger.  Then was one of the fairies naming a bug they encountered in a way to poke fun at Issy at least.  It made Alicia roll her eyes before continuing the climb.<br/><br/>She was pulled out of her thoughts, almost having drifted off to sleep. When one of the Naga slithered over and spoke to her.  That started the girl a little before she looked up at.<span style="color: #006600">“Huh?  Oh, yeah.  From the look of the rest of the climb I could see… that is likely.  I could use the rest.  Three times my home’s gravity is a pain to deal with.  Being athletic has definitely helped me.”</span>She agreed as she looked up at Maia and then let her eyes roam over the snake and enjoyed the sight of the girl’s upper body in a nano suit that appeared little more than a swim suit.<span style="color: #006600">“Wonder how much time we will have to relax here?”</span><br/><br/>As she asked that she watched one of the fae shift her size into a human sized body.  And watched as it happened.  It looked like she had gotten rid of her clothing before shifting size with the blanket.  That distracted Alicia for a moment before she shook her head.<span style="color: #006600">“Hey Speaker.  How long we going to rest here?  Enough time for a catnap?”</span>She hadn’t realized she made the pun for herself.  Glad her hair was covering her ears, like she usually had it.  Tied back in a way to hide them normally.”<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
