[With everything quieting down and the help of a spirit, Rose has been sleeping much better lately. Still, every so often she'll be plagued by a nightmare, and when she is, it's nice not to be alone when she walks into the kitchen.]

Thank you.

[She sits down, letting the warm cup settle in her hands. It's calming.]

Things have been quiet here recently. I'm not sure what to think.

No problem. [ He takes his own mug and sits across from her. ]

..Yeah. I don't really like it. Not that this is a very loud crew, but it's even quieter now. [ He's going to miss Asuka and Velvet. Carl looks up at her, curious. ]

Can't sleep?

[Rose would be pained to admit it, but she also misses her fellow crewmates. Velvet might have actually made her ill, but at least she was interesting to be around.]

No. There's too much on my mind.

[Not the least of which being the mystery box in the corner of their loading bay.]

I take it, it's the same for you?

[postocular]

This is pretty much a ritual at this point.

[ He shrugs, rubbing the side of his neck. The next admission comes with a hint of hesitation. He really hates admitting things, especially to his crew. Carl doesn't want to seem weak. ]

Been having trouble for months.

Of all the rituals I've done, this surely isn't the worst.

[She picks up the cup, allowing the warmness to settle for a moment. It's calming, if nothing else.]

Would you like to talk about it?

[postocular]

Not sure there's much to talk about. [ Yes there is, Carl.. ]

It's.. kind of a lot. Don't really want to burden anyone with shit that doesn't really matter here.
