Terrors in Subnautica(Complete)

Part 11: A Try at Friendship and Worries Shared

Amy's POV

It's been a long day of gathering materials. We've gathered everything we can within the safe zone and a little on it's outskirts. Everyone has gathered enough materials to have 750 on our O2 tanks, and for everyone to have a pressure suit. Hopefully the remaining materials will be enough for the mobile vehicle bay and a Seamoth or two.

Mark and I are eating a late lunch in our room, finally relaxing.

"Ya know, I was thinking about what you said earlier."

I looked over to Mark, pushing the remaining bones aside.

"Which thing I said?"

"Just after the meeting this morning, you had mentioned that you didn't know anything about N/N and I agreed that I don't either."

"Yeah, when I realized it I couldn't really get the thought out of my head. I've been wondering about her all day."

"Same. Since you brought it up I've been trying to think about what I know about her and I'm surprised at how little that is. I was gonna ask Jack about her but I'm not sure if it'd be weird to just ask out of nowhere."

"That might be a good idea actually, I mean considering the circumstances it makes sense. Everyone knows everyone! Accept for N/N. Maybe I should ask though."

"I guess it does make sense, why you though?"

"Because I'm a girl."

"What?"

I sigh heavily," I mean, I get the impression he's gotten... attached to her. And it might be a little less bothersome for a woman to ask."

"Oooh! Hahah, yeah I guess that makes sense. He really isn't the kind of person to get paranoid about that kind of stuff though."

"Alright, you do know him better than I do. I just wanted to be on the safe side I guess."

"It'll be fine, he's not the jealous type," He pulls me into a side hug." Besides as cute as they are together, we don't really know what's going on yet. It's only been a couple of days."

I chuckle and hug him back, he may know him better but I think I understand the connection a bit more.

I watch Mark get up and leave the room to find Seán and N/N, I'm actually kind of excited to learn more about her. Maybe we should do a girls day! That would be a great way to bond and I'm sure it would help her feel more like a part of the group. It must be kind of lonely not knowing anyone else when everyone already knows one another.

With that thought, I get up and flush the bones down the toilet to head out to find N/N. Maybe I can talk to her while Mark talks to Seán.

When I climb down the ladder to the central room I see Mark walking up to Seán as he and N/N come inside from the main entrance. I jog up beside him to talk to N/N.

"Jack! Can we hang out for a little while? I was curious about something and wanted to talk about it."

"Hey, N/N I have an AWESOME idea and I want your opinion on it!!" I smile brightly to try and not make the situation awkward.

The two of them glance at one another briefly before agreeing with slightly confused expressions, Mark doesn't seem to notice though. While Mark walks off to our room with Seán, I take N/N up top where I installed another door so we can still keep watch if need be. I pretended not to notice the slightly worried glances they gave each other when we separated.

As we climb out to the roof of our base we sit ourselves down facing the broken down Aurora. N/N sits in a curled up position, she seems nervous. I hope I can help her be more comfortable around the rest of us. At least she's gotten close to someone.
