Garviel nodded when Saros agreed. "I'll go get them for you," he offered, walking over to Ophelia's ship first. "Your captain wants to speak to you outside," he told the girls once he found them, before nodding at the other alien and stepping outside. Next he disappeared into Fjord's ship, passing on the same message to the men, but this time hanging around inside with the other alien.

The crew members looked up whenever Garviel came in to tell them Saros wanted to talk to them and nodded before finishing up whatever they were doing and heading outside. Saros was out there waiting for them, hands in his pockets and staring off into the distance until he heard the others coming and he looked up with a faint smile. Each of the humans stepped up and gave their captain their goodbyes and well wishes and they all stood there for a minute before Aten spoke again. "You'll be coming tomorrow, right?" They all looked expectantly at Saros and he just smiled and nodded.

"Of course. I won't be very far behind you," he assured the crew, keeping his expression in check at the little white lie. He knew it might be weeks until he actually got a ride back to Kasmov, but he also knew that the others wouldn't leave if they knew he wasn't going to be traveling right behind them. It was worth them getting mad at him later when they discovered he had lied than them staying here longer than they needed to be. There was another round of short goodbyes before the others headed back to the ships they would be traveling on and Saros bid them goodbye with one more small wave.

Garviel waited in the ship until Aten and Pallas returned, before turning to Fjord. "Have a safe flight," he told the older alien, who grinned and clapped him on the back. Garviel watched as Fjord started to usher the humans onto the bridge to get them seated, before he headed back outside, the door shutting behind him.

He walked back over to Saros, stopping next to him and turning to look back at the two cruisers. He was unsure what to say to him, so simply stood quietly for the next few minutes while the ships prepared to leave. Fjord's ship took off first, followed shortly by Ophelia's. The alien watched them go, before glancing down at Saros. "Right," he spoke at last, taking a step backwards. "Suppose I better find you someplace to sleep."

Saros remained standing there as he crew members disappeared into the ships and he was still there as Gavriel came out a few minutes later. He didn't try to break the quiet as the ships prepared to leave and eventually took off. He sighed softly as they disappeared and looked up as the alien spoke. He shrugged, glancing back once more before turning to once again follow the alien. "Anywhere will do really..... I've had to sleep in plenty of odd places, so I'm used to it....." he answered as they started walking again.

He began to lead the way back to his ship, making sure not to walk too fast. "It's okay, I'll find you a bed," Garviel answered with a shrug, before falling into silence for the rest of the walk back. The door to the loading bay was still open when they reached the ship - his two crew members where still sitting inside, although now they had been joined by a couple of other aliens from the next ship over. Garviel paid them no mind, continuing on inside.

Garviel stopped outside a room in the living quarters, sliding the door open and then waiting for the automatic lights to flicker on. "This is the only spare room," he said, stepping inside and looking around. The room was clearly where people had been dumping the things they didn't know what to do with; there were a fair number of boxes on the floor and on the bed, some empty and others full. Other than that, it was pretty clean. "I'll move the boxes out for you," he added, turning to look back at Saros. "Will this do?"

Saros kept pace with the alien as he nodded his head once. "Alright...." he replied quietly as they continued walking. When they reached the ship and passed the small cluster of aliens, Saros wasn't going to lie. He slowed just a fraction and his gaze lingered on the group maybe a few more seconds than it had to before he was once again following after Garviel.

When they passed the room where the humans had stayed earlier, Saros took a second to run inside and grab his bag, slinging it over his shoulder as he slipped back out into the hall and once again fell in step with the alien. He tilted his head when they stopped in front of a door and it slid open, and he peered inside around the alien before stepping up to the doorframe, not yet stepping inside. He was looking around for a better look before his gaze drifted up to the alien at his question."Yeah... this will be fine. And you can leave the boxes if you'd like. I can just move them to a corner since I won't take up the whole space."

Garviel simply blinked when Saros said it was fine to leave the boxes - the alien couldn't even sleep when something was out of place in his own room, so he was slightly surprised by this. Sometimes it was hard for him to realise that not everyone thought they way he did.

"Well, I'll take the boxes from the bed, anyway," he answered at last, walking over and stacking the boxes on top of each other. Once he was done, Garviel picked the boxes up and then peered at Saros from over the top of them. "I'll leave you to it, then," he said, starting to head towards the door. "Whenever you're hungry, the kitchen's open. If you need me at all, I'll be in the loading bay." The alien didn't really wait for an answer - he figured he was the last person that Saros would want lingering around, after everything that had happened. Garviel just nodded at the human, before leaving the room with the boxes and heading back towards the loading bay.

Saros nodded as the alien still insisted on taking some of the boxes, and as the other stepped further into the room to stack and lift the boxes, Saros slipped into the room. He waited patiently for Garviel to gather up the boxes, and as the other was getting ready to leave, Saros moved to place his bag at the foot of the bed. "Will do," he responded as the other instructed him that he was free to eat whennever and where to find him if he needed anything. When the other left, Saros crouched in front of his bag and began digging through his bag, looking for something. There wasn't much for him to do at the moment, other than straighten up the boxes, so once he found what he was looking for, and ipod/phone looking device, he put some earbuds in to listen to music a he set to work on the task.

He stepped into the loading bay, nodding over the boxes at the other aliens who were still sitting around together. Garviel walked over to the other side, dropping the boxes with a loud thud. Curious to see what everyone had been dumping in the spare room, he crouched down amongst the boxes and began to rummage through them. They didn't hold anything of much interest - just a lot of odds and ends, smaller empty boxes and even a few broken parts. There were a few tools that had gone missing over the course of their journeys, though.

"Unbelievable," he grumbled, loud enough to get the attention of the other aliens. "You lot need to learn how to return things to where you got them from. Stop making a mess of my ship." Garviel waved a salvaged spanner in the direction of his two crew members. They simply responded with cocky grins, one of them picking up a bottle and holding it out to their captain, who gave an exasperated sigh and walked over to take it. He sat down on a free crate, deciding that sorting out the boxes could wait until after he'd had a drink.

Saros remained in the room, sorting through the boxes that were still there. He didn’t completely rummage and dig through them to see every single item each box held, but he glanced inside to make sure things that belonged together stayed close to each other and rearrange the boxes so each item fit inside. If a box was over filled, then the extra stuff got put into an empty box. Once all the boxes were closed up, they got neatly stacked up in an empty corner. The task kept Saros busy for quite some time, his music keeping him company the entire time.
