"I want to go home."  "And I want to go to the moon. It ain't happening sweetheart. Time to accept that." Sh...

"I want to go home." 

"And I want to go to the moon. It ain't happening sweetheart. Time to accept that."

She turned away, she didn't want him to see she agreed.

"All we can do is sit here and hope they don't come back."

"For how long?"

"As long as it takes. You can go out there if you want. Go find those things and ask them to take you home. Be my guest." He moved aside and showed her the path back out there.

She stared at it for a long time. He was right, every word, but she hated hiding.

"Just sit and wait, they will give up searching for us soon, then we can look at escaping."

She nodded. 

He walked toward her and tried sitting down. He winced and grimaced as he lowered himself.

"You are hurt." Her worry was clear.

"I'm alive. Which is more than we can say for the others."

She attempted to look at his wounds but he recoiled. "I'm fine."

Rejected, she pulled away and turned back towards to path. For the first time silence joined them.

"So where is home? You want to go back there so much."

"Earth. Have you heard of it?"

"Ahh a small planet girl. Yeah I know Earth. What's a girl from that part of the galaxy doing all the way out here fighting Larks?"

"It's a long story."

"It's going to be a long night, entertain me."
