<b>*Thunk*</b><br/><br/>"Mhmmmm..."<br/><br/>A tired moan escaped from pale lips followed by a sigh as Maia's coils followed the way of her upper body and hit the floor after sliding out of her bed. Part of her wanted to just coil up and continue her sleep with her tail as her pillow. Mornings were every naga's enemy. Alas, the loud music was just one of Maia's morning annoyances keeping her from simply dozing off again. Even if her gills were kept hydrated through her choker, her skin was drying at this point despite the wet towels she used in lieu of a sheet. Not only that, but her body heat as usual was at it's lowest in the morning. All of this had only one proper response. A nice hot shower.<br/><br/>With a yawn, the water naga shrugged the now mildly moist towels off herself and moved to slip into the hallway to seek out the shower room. However, as soon as she started opening her door someone on the other side hit it hard, smacking it back in Maia's face. Half-asleep and nursing a sore nose, Maia failed to realize that the only thing protecting her nude form from prying eyes as she left her quarters was her long, shiny hair cascading down her back and chest. It was though, a sight far too common when it involved the royal-blooded naga. Though Maia had the look of some innocent princess she had been caught in less than delicate situations way too often by the other crewmembers of the Challenger. And well, as potentially deadly as touching her nude skin could be it was still an appealing sight to most races.<br/><br/>A shower that used water was rare in spaceships on this size, but crucial for any crew that had water naga. The cascade of rain couldn't quite match up to warm tropical waters. Still, Maia felt the heat slowly soak into her body along with the feeling that her skin would split fading. Before Maia realized it, she echoed the AI's song in the shower, her lyrical voice easily matching all the notes.<br/><br/>Once she was done getting her body heat to an active level, Maia clad herself in a few spare towels she soaked in the water. Even if the AI's music had stop, she continued humming along with the now missing tune. Hmmmm, should she put on her environment suit already? But they didn't exactly know when they'd be going outside today. Maia rubbed her chin ponderously, before selecting a far more casual set of clothes. Though, only Maia could consider these clothes casual. Near see-through haze, glittering jewels and an exotic design reminiscent of the belly dancers of earth. Even if the clothes were rather traditional water naga wear. Oh, she couldn't forget her gloves. Nobody wants to paralyze their crewmates with a careless handshake.<br/><br/>Maia slithered into the dining hall quite a bit after the first few started to arrive.<i>"Are~ are~, everyone got started on breakfast without me."</i>She says in a half-teasing voice to whomever might be listening while prepping herself a hot cup of coffee, mostly to enjoy the warm between her palms rather than requiring the caffeine to wake up.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
