"Whats your favorite color?" Natalia asked and laughed a little, the dreamscape brightening with the change of subject. "I was thinking about painting your room before moving all the furniture in." She smiled and scratched the back of her head. "And do you want any cooking equipment? I figured you might be more used to home cooking but like with the color thing I keep meaning to ask you but then I forget or get too embarrassed." She added, her expression happy but a little embarrassed. "I want to make things comfortable for you but its kind of difficult for me."

With a smile, Bob answers her, " green, or at least, that's the one I'm most used to....as for cooking equipment? that sounds grand, all I really need though is a fire pit, fuel and ingredients, but if you can think of some kind of machinery that would be helpful, go ahead and throw it in." taking a pause to streach his neck, Bob continues, " so, I figure we have at least a few more minutes, and at most an hour or two, anything else you want to talk about before we wake up?"

((and cue the birds and sunrise...just kidding ^_^)) "Uhm...Well I can't really think of anything now." Natalia said honestly. "I'm not very good at this." She said then was struck by a violent lurching sensation as her physcal body shifted slightly, bringing her hand in contact with an expoused pice of wiring that held a mild charge. "Ouch!" Natalia shouted as she sat bolt upright, pulling her injured hand away from the source of the pain. Unfortunatly the sudden motion brought her head into contact with the many conduits and pipes above her. With a gong like ring in her ears she fell senseless to the floor of the crawl space.

((and if your wondering, yes, you can wake yourself up out of a dream, I've done it before, and I know I can do it again....so no arguing about it! rofl ))
as all hell broke loose for natalia, Bob watched in horror, think damnit, think! when I'm stuck in a nightmare and I want out what do I do? right, focus..... closing his dream avatar's eyes, Bob focuses his mind, at first, the feeling of his body's limbs is faint, like a great barrier seperates his mind and his tactile sensations, then, as he keeps pushing his mind, his body lets out a yell, as he sits up suddenly. breathing heavily, Bob shakes his head and moves quickly out of his area of the ship and to where natalia is, quickly checking her pulse and vital signs. (if her vitals are fine) Bob simply cradles her head in his lap and hopes for the best. (and if they aren't doing so well) Bob scurries to get out, running at breakneck speed though the house, searching for a medpack.

((shes fine except for a mild burn on one hand and what will be a major headache when she wakes up)) After a few minutes Natlia groaned as her eyes fluttered open. For a moment she couldn't make out what appeared to be a large fuzzy mass above her and froze. Once her eyes adjusted though she realized it was bob and more specifically Bobs hair and not a wild animal that she was looking at. After a few more moments her brain also caught up with her eyes and started interpreting the data her body was sending it at a normal rate. "Huh...my head is ringing and my ring and index finger hurt but I don't remember injuring myself." Searching her mind the last thing she remembered was having a discussion with bob that could only have taken place in a dream and strange flashes of images that occurred presumably before she regained consciousness. "Hey..." Natalia said, not trying to sit up just yet. Even laying down she felt a little dizzy but none of the tale tell signs of a concussion fortunately.

Bob looks to natalia with concern evident on his face, " your sure your okay? well, just lay there and rest for a bit, not sure what happened to you, but since its not hypothermia rest will do you good." letting out a sigh of relief, Bob relaxes. Then, a few moments later he realizes he has her head in his lap and he blushes profusely.

"Thanks, my head is ringing like a parade gong..." Natalia said as she reached up to touch what would be a very nice bump on her forehead. "I think I fell asleep then sat up and hit my head on something." She said with a sigh, knowing she'd have to try and find what she hit and make sure it wasn't damaged soon. "Sorry if I broke anything. I can't believe I was negligent enough to let myself fall asleep." She added, angry at herself for making such a stupid mistake. Normally when she was feeling tired she wore a bio band that would wake her up when she fell asleep or got to drowsy but she'd forgotten it.

With a smile, Bob replied, " we all need sleep at some point, it wasn't negligent, and I dont think you broke anything on the ship, I'm more worried that you might have broken something on yourself....." oh thank goodness, I thought for a moment there that she might have been in real trouble.

"I'm fine really. It will take more then a little bump on the head to put me down for long." She she said, responding to Bobs thoughts without realizing what she was doing then made herself sit up despite the way it made her head swim to do it. Her expression was mostly angry but she actually felt more relief that Bob wasn't mad and gratitude that he had helped, her laced with a little anger for herself.I'm glad he's not upset with me "I think I'll take the rest of the day off though. Today isn't a good day for me it would seem." She added rubbing the knot on her forehead ruefully. Pushing herself was one thing but working with a head injury wasn't something even she would do unless it was a dire situation. She smiled weakly at him, not even aware she had left her hand on his leg.

Nodding, Bob said, " sounds like a good idea, make sure you get your rest, I'll check to make sure whatever burned your hand is sealed off safely" as he said this, Bob guided Natalia carefully out of the ship, and to her room's door, " are you going to be ok?....oh, and why would I have been upset with you?"

"I'll be fine, I've taken care of myself through worse." She said with a sigh. It's strange that he's so concerned...he doesn't really have a reason to care. A few small crab like cleaning droids were finishing there work as the door opened and scurried to back to the hidden recess that contained there charging unit and waste disposal area. Looking at her room Natail was struck by a sharp pang of loneliness but she didn't let it show on her face. She liked having other people around, even if she didnt interact with them while she worked. Some how just the presence of others was soothing to her. Still, she had grown used to living and working with only a bare minimum of human contact and just ignored the feeling when it occasionally welled up. That didn't stop the desire from occurring though. I hate being alone.

Blinking, Bob looked at natlia, " you know what? if you don't mind, how about I keep you company while you rest, if nothing else you won't be alone." is my hearing getting better or is she just voicing her thoughts? meh....who knows?

((got to go)) A little surprised by the offer Natalia stepped back as if she were expecting an attack. "You don't have to do that." She said, blushing slightly though with her pale complexion it made her cheeks turn rose hued immediately. She would enjoy the company but she had expected the offer and was surprised. "Though...if you'd like to I wouldn't mind." She added after a few moments as she regained control of herself.

With a smile, Bob nodded, " why are you cheeks so red? " after asking this bob scratched the side of his head in wonderment. is she bleeding internally? oh no...that's not good, what if she bleeds to death, oh....wait, she would be in pain if there was internal bleeding, and she didn't say her cheeks hurt....but why would they be so red? its not cold in here....
((he was raised by 3 different people, none of which were human, thus he doesn't really know what a blush is or what it means. rofl ))

"It's called blushing." Natalia said rather stiffly as she turned and walked into her apartment. Her aversion to being touched reviving full force, she had felt something strange which had caused what she knew was a serious over reaction to Bob's offer. "I must have hit my head harder then I thought because its like I could..." She cut off her line of thought before it could finish. "It's a reflexive reaction to certain emotional triggers in humans." She added not certain why she did. An impossible answer did occur to her but pushed it aside, there was no way she could have know that Bob hadn't been raised by humans. He had never told her that and the fact that her mind seemed to imply that the conversation had occurred in a dream only caused her to file the information more deeply in the realm of things she porously ignored. "Strange dreams and waking hallucinations...I had better schedule a doctors appointment." She thought with a sigh.
