He wiggles into the corner at the head of his bunk, and I follow his lead, pulling my legs up on my own bunk, crossing them and leaning back against the wall. If he's not going to expect perfect poise and control, then I'm not about to bother wasting the energy.
"Nothing's ever quick and easy." I smirk a little, and I think I could definitely get used to sharing quarters with him. At least until one of the two of us gets promoted or re-stationed. Seems inevitable, the way he's talking.
He brings it back to me, and I shrug. "Not exactly." I allow, carefully considering just how much I want him to know about me. He didn't react to my name, so I imagine E.F., or at least this particular member of E.F., didn't exactly keep up with the ins and outs of the Special Officer corps. "More like born into it." Seems safe enough, and true, for my early years. "I was born on a Sovereign moon. There aren't exactly a lot of other options."
