== Yep, that's definitely drama ;-) ==
As tempting as it had been to just drift off and hope for a good night's sleep, Aeryn knew better than that as the door to her quarters slid open, and she looked up to see Beka still dressed in full uniform. She looked pretty much the same as Aeryn had, as her fellow redhead greeted her before slumping on the couch after removing her tunic. " Hey Babe" she replied, quickly realising that this might not be what she was hoping for, but then again who could blame Beka for being shattered, considering that she had also been present during that absolute cluster of a briefing.
" Hey, it's okay, you don't always have to be 'on' with me", Aeryn assured her girlfriend, because this wasn't what their relationship was based on, and Beka could always be her authentic self around her. " I'm probably not feeling my best either, I had to deal with Lucy after the briefing finished".
Aeryn wanted Beka to know that she related to her. Hell, it was something that they often had in common, but at the same time, if she needed to vent or just chill, then it was perfectly okay to do that too. Although it appeared as though Beka hadn't seen the cola Aeryn had replicated for her, her girlfriend's gaze fell on the glass of whiskey. What came next, while not completely expected, showed how much Beka was irritated, likely as a result of her tiredness. So Aeryn let her vent, and get it out of her system until she finished, and then Aeryn moved Beka's glass of cola in front of her, before picking up her whiskey.
" We have, and you know I would never give you alcohol, I just needed a little pick me up" she admitted, deciding that she wasn't going to feel guilty for having a drink. " Of course, you can have a night off, after this evening and all the crap that came with it, I needed to see you, because once we launch, it's only going to get crazier".
At this point, Aeryn didn't know when she would get the chance to see Beka again, to chill like this, so even if they were both exhausted, she would take whatever she could get.
