He runs his fingers through Rawne's hair. "It sounds like you've been even more deprived than I have, poor darling. My cabin is conveniently just across the hallway from yours, so you can give us a ring on the comm any time you're feeling lonely."

"Why so long? I can't imagine it's because of lack of opportunity. I'm sure someone with your looks would be able to find a willing partner sooner if you'd wanted."
He doesn't know anything about Rawne and so now's a good time to ask, while they're comfortable and relaxed.
"Not important?" Norton giggles at that. Yes, maybe not something he thinks about while running for his life being chased by aliens, or rushing to beat a deadline to prevent the end of the world. But aside from that, Norton's always found time for sex.
"I imagine it happens to you a lot, being a soldier. Having people try to kill you is basically part of the job description." His fingers seek out one of the scars he felt earlier and traces along it.
"The enemy is often doing that, yes. Though I usually don't take that personally. It's not like they hate me in particular." Just the Imperium in general.

He's pretty sure just dumping the destruction of his home planet on Norton is not pillow talk.

His hand drifts down from Rawne's hair to lightly cup his cheek.

Norton has a bit of experience with that.

He coaxes Rawne's head down for another kiss.

"I hope so." He leans into the kiss, shifting so the angle is better.
