After dinner you and Horangi would usually go outside and do laps around the base’s perimeter. It was kind of like a break from all the stressful things happening inside of the base.

You talked whilst he mainly listened, occasionally adding to the conversation himself.

Tonight was no different, the moon glistening in the darkened sky as you both wandered around the base, the sound of the trees being blown in the wind in your ears as you made conversation with him.
