I've been spending time with Garrus. My tan is looking nice. My wardrobe has doubled.

Day 64...ish???
I purchased art supplies. I tried to draw the one of the beaches here that I like.

Getting the colors right is difficult.
yaaaaay this made me smile!
Did you? I bought a lot myself. [ Some clothes. A little food. Mostly art supplies, though. ]

Colors are always hard. I rarely get them right. [ Orrrrr never. But shush. She still likes to try. ]

I tell myself I should stick with black and white, but that would be an insult to this place.

Are you enjoying this shore leave, Alina?

Sturmhond uses the camera. I don't like it. Painting is better.

I can't remember the last time I've gotten to relax like this....

It's nice to relax. I'm making the most of it.

It doesn't sound so bad when you put it like that.

So. A lot of time with Garrus, then? [ Someone didn't miss that. ]

He purrs when he's pleased, Alina. It's very cute.

Don't tell him I called him cute. I think he would object.

So are you two together now?

I won't show you my pictures if you do. :(
FROM: varr.noh@cdc.org
Yes. It's not exclusive, but it's stable. He's pretty great.

All right. You got me with the pictures.
FROM: starkov.alina@cdc.org
He is great. And so are you. You two deserve some happiness together.

I'll show you once we're back on the ship, all right? I'd like some feedback from my 'teacher'.
FROM: varr.noh@cdc.org
Thank you. We could all use a little happiness.

Speaking of which, how is Sturmhond?

I don't think my old Senior Cartographer just rolled over and died at someone calling me an art teacher.
But I'd like to see all the same.

He's doing well. We went to the beach and Hanaguchi Avenue. He made me shop a lot too. Then he proposed at some point, and I said yes. The usual

Alina, that's wonderful. I'll save my well-wishes for whatever wedding you decide to have. Until then...

I'm happy for you both. Your courage is admirable.

Thank you, Noh-Varr. I'm not sure when we're having the wedding, yet.
But thank you. We're both really happy together, so I thought it was a pretty good idea. I don't know about being courageous, though...

I think that kind of dedication takes courage. To choose him, each day--it isn't easy. Or maybe that's just me.

We've always had different struggles. Not that this makes any of that go away...
I guess I just think he's worth all the struggle for the good.
