Galatica Point, Tuesday night

Ivanova was back on the beach as the sun went down. Powerful draw this beach seemed to have. Maybe it was the abundance of that which she didn't have back on the station - water, earth, fresh air. But whenever she needed to think, out to the beach she came. She settled back in the sand, propping herself up on her elbows. A bottle of vodka - not Midnight Hobo, for once - sat upright in the sand beside her, but it was barely touched.

Angel and Anakin weren't the only alumni who knew how to get a good brood on.

Unable to think in her room Maia set out to the beach. Walking along the edge of the water letting it brush over her feet in the gentle waves she looked up and saw Susan. Her heart jumped a little in a painful squeeze before she looked down. She didn't know if Susan had seen her or not, she could just slip away perhaps, unnoticed maybe.

Sighing a little she looked up at Susan and gave a little wave. They were friends weren't they?

Ivanova caught the movement out of the corner of her eye and her heart made a similar jump. Maia looked beautiful in the moonlight. That was the first thought to cross her mind - before Tonks, Talia, Blair, and heartache crowded in.

She raised her hand in an answering salute.

Maia wasn't sure if that was a come over or not so she came half way. "Can't sleep?" She said coming up from the waters edge to stand half way between Susan and the water, maybe a little closer to Susan then the water.

"Nope," Ivanova replied, a larconic smile on her face. "I broke a girl's heart, you know." She took a swig of her vodka before holding the bottle out to Maia.

"Ah see I know where you're coming from." Maia said stepping closer and then sitting next to her to take the bottle. "I recently my heart broken." She said taking a sip. "It's a nice beach to think." She said quietly.

Ivanova nodded. "Whoever broke your heart must have been a real bitch," she said, then sighed, looking out over the water instead of at Maia. "I came out here a lot after Dora left."

"She isn't so bad once you get used to her, I think she's a bit to hard on herself most of the time." Maia said looking out over the ocean as well. "I came out here a lot after Sara dumped me." She said, her eyes searching for a wave. "It's a good place to emo it up I guess."

"No one to bother, don't really have to think about six floors of people being happy under your feet, the overwhelming steadfastness of nature . . . yeah, it's a good place for it."

Maia nodded and took another sip before setting the bottle between them. "Should I leave you to your thoughts then?" She said, her head swimming with the sound of Susan's voice. Missing her and feeling like she was so far away when she was sitting just right there.

Ivanova seized the bottle and took a long drink. "Please don't."

"Alright." She said with a soft nod. She looked at Susan's profile for a moment before forcing herself to look away. She knew every line and curve of Susan, she didn't need to look at her; she had her memorized. It came in handy for moment's like this when she knew her heart wouldn't let her stare.

"I miss the water when I'm up on the station," Ivanova said, a bit abruptly. "I don't know why, I wasn't really a waterbaby when I was younger."

She was trying to talk about everything but what she wanted to talk about.

"I don't know if I was or not. I don't remember." Maia said thoughtfully. "They had a pool in my apartment complex I used to swim in. I like to though." Maia thought about the time she and Susan had swam together.

"I know you do."

And now she was thinking about swimming together, too. The way their legs had tangled under the water, flirting in the pool . . . She squeezed her eyes shut.

Maia turned and smiled at her when she said that she knew Maia did.

Ivanova saw her turn her head and made the mistake of turning to look at her. She gazed at Maia for a long moment before flopping back into the sand with a huff of breath. "I'm an idiot."

Maia felt her heart almost stop from Susan's gaze before she broke it to lay back and call herself an idiot. Staying in an upright position Maia looked at Susan over her shoulder. "Oh?" she said raising an eyebrow at her for Susan to expound on the fact she was an idiot.

Ivanova nodded, looking up at the stars. "Yep, I'm an idiot."

"Shall I argue that fact with you or just agree for the sake of agreement?" Maia said with a teasing smile. Not a big smile just a small one.

"No use arguing with me," Ivanova informed her, holding up a finger. "Remember the Babylon 5 mantra."

"Ivanova is always right. I will always listen to Ivanova. Ivanova is god." Maia said with a smirk, the smirk turned into a giggle.

The finger rotated in the air, thoughtfully. "Hmmm, close enough." She looked over, grinning at the giggle. At least she could still make her laugh.

Maia nodded, "And what part did I miss?" She said, her giggle ended but the smile was still in place. She was happy to see Susan grinning back.

"'I will not ignore Ivanova's recommendations'," Ivanova quoted primly before grinning again.

"Ah, indeed. And pray tell what would Ivanova recommend in a situation such as the one I have found myself in?" Maia said grinning back before sipping off the bottle of Vodka
