After 2 days on the ship hiding from the others (besides Rosemary but especially Austin) due to embarrassment, he decided that he'd finally go and ask Marina what to do to help with his seasickness, since he was just an amateur doc.

Luckily, when he went over to a medic-like part of the ship he'd find Marina awake and there, so he went up to her, nervously, and asked; "I-.. Uhm.. Do you know how to... stop the seasickness..?"

She'd turn a bit to look at him more straightforwardly before replying. "Oh! Yeah, of course! It's simple really." She'd start the explanation. "Try to avoid overeating, focus your eyes on something or someone specific, try staying still in a seat with your head leaned back, I can also give you a antihistamine if those don't work as well."

Dante was shocked, and a little jealous to say the least. These were such easy answers and the envy came from how he didn't know them before despite them being easy, so he'd just reply simply with a little less nervousness in an attempt to hold jealousy back (considering his already built up jealousy for Io due to Rosemary), "Can I.. have that thing you said.. antihiestah-" "An antihistamine? Sure!" Marina said as she unknowingly interrupted Dante and went over to her bag to get an antihistamine since she brought one and knew Dante pretty well, though her and Dante didn't really talk all that much since Dante thought that if he talked to other girls too much he'd be cheating on Rosemary, even though they weren't even in an official relationship.

Dante would immediately take it pill form in his mouth as he'd thank Marina and leave, with Evan walking past him to greet Marina, so meanwhile with Marina and Evan while Dante was using what Marina said and focusing on Rosemary whenever he could to take his mind off the seasickness, Evan would be a lot more confident and he'd look down at Marina's 3 inch shorter form since he only stood at 6'3 compared to her 6'0. "Do you have a roll of bandages, the ones on my "nubs" are kinda old." He'd hold his armless nubs in a straightforward manner as it was evident that the bandages on them were stained from dirt, sweat and other stuff. Shoot, even little tiny droplets of blood from different aliens. "Oh yeah, I do. Do you want me to put them on for you..? Since..." She'd stare at his armless nubs in a non-freaky suggestive manner and he'd shake his head. "Uh, no, I can do it myself." Evan would reply, and she'd just nod and go get a roll of bandages from her bag. While Evan was waiting, he'd just take off his shoes and socks and start taking off the bandages with his bare feet. Once he had them off, he'd look down and take off the ones covering his eyes, Marina would watch him struggle for a while before he feel her watching him and he'd see her feet stop to stare and he'd grunt. "I don't need help, just continue.." He said calmly as he kept struggling while Marina just sighed and got the new bandages, rolling the roll over to him as he grabbed it with his feet immediately, finally took his face bandages off as he looked down, started bandaging his nubs and face. Marina was confused. "How come you're looking down, why won't you just.. Let me help you?" She'd have asked, and Evan would just grunt some more before mansplaining.

"Well, if I have to give my entire explanation, red zones are living aliens and if you touch them they'll eat whatever you touched it with by melting it off and if it's a human child in contact the genes will seep into you, and now I have blood red eyes under the face bandages and no arms."

Marina was confused as to why he was mad when she didn't know but also understanding his point of view as well as being shocked by the revelation.

"Oh..."

She'd then be silent for a while, sitting and organizing her bag so that she can find stuff easier while Evan put the bandages on himself with his feet, and once he was done and the guilt of mansplaining bothered him enough he'd sigh. "Sorry." She'd look over and blush at his surprising forgiveness considering how creepy and intimidating Evan seemed during the trip so far. "It's okay.. Also give me your old bandages I'll discard them." He'd then accept her help as he kicked the pile of his old bandages to her as she'd then grab the pile and put it in a discard section of the bag before completely closing the thing while Evan gets up and walks off.

Alora would see Frankie sitting at a chair near the railing of the ship that was built onto the ship so that it wouldn't slide, just like Anthony and Griffin who were conversation about how they could help Dante either get over Rosemary and or have Rosemary as Alora would sit on the chair besides Frankie, eyeing him. "What're you thinking about...?" That was kind of a dumb question to ask, considering what Frankie's answer would be. "Memories with my dad." He successfully held back his tears, but at what cost? He was bottling these emotions up just to keep his cool in front of everyone, and Alora knew that and would proceed to feel bad. "Oh.. Uhm.. I'm sorry." She'd say, remembering what that CrystalCarver had admitted to the other day while Frankie would just sigh to finally get the urge of crying away. "It's fine.. No need to be sorry, I'll just keep on with this mission for my father." Frankie said with determination, and Alora sure as hell admired that determination, because she'd stare at him all dreamy eyes before getting up and patting him on the shoulder. "I know we can get through it, Frank." Then she'd walk off as she practically made a promise and a nickname for him

Austin would be looking around for someone to chill with while Evan was busy spending time with Marina. Since he was 6'11 on the ship he could really get a view of everyone, and he'd then spit Marco by himself to which Austin would then stand right behind Marco, looking down at him with a dark gaze before grabbing his shoulders firmly and suddenly. "AHH!" Marco would shout, and Austin would giggle. "Well Well Well, look who's here all alone Marco..." He'd keep looking down at Marco, before his friendly smile appeared and he'd let go, leaning over to make eye contact with Marco since Marco was a measly 5'8 compared to a freakishly tall Austin. "Y'know... Why don't you go.. pickpocket me a candy from Dante's pockets, I know how poor you used to be back then.." He'd grin slyly, and Marco would just sigh in defeat, walking over sneakily to Dante. "Fine.." He'd pickpocket Dante with not so surprising skill considering his past of being poor as he'd then hand the candy to Austin, it was one of Austin's most loved candies, those strawberry candies that he didn't know the name of that was always in his mom's purse. "Thanks." He'd pop one his mouth, rolling his around to savor the flavor as Dante then noticed a candy was missing and then looked at Austin with a squint, seeing him rolling that candy in his mouth made him annoyed.

"Why me..."
