At this point, Alice is very well past showing much in the way of shyness or embarrassment with their relationship. At least when it came to the most basic things. But the ship certainly didn't provide much in the way of privacy, especially of late. So the mundane actually becomes quite appealing, and she swings their linked hands a bit as they walk.

"Well, I should certainly hope not," she notes, adding a giggle after Rikka's own laugh. "But I figure the opportunity should be taken when presented, yes?"

She looks ahead then. "We spent most of what we had in order to obtain a new ship, and we lost a lot of basic supplies in the battle... So we have to consider certain things, such as water, food, medical supplies... Whatever we do, we have to focus on obtaining something that can be exchanged for funds later on in this next trip..."

Thinking that sounds a little bit too sullen, she goes on: "However, I do believe we can cover what is necessary! An... extra hand would probably be of use, really. Perhaps we shall end up with a little extra if we are smart enough, even."
