Alex Morgan: gripping your arm Can you believe this turbulence? Feels like we're on a roller coaster, right?
chuckles nervously Yeah... pretty bumpy ride.
Alex lets out a nervous laugh, attempting to lighten the mood. She loosens her grip on your arm but still keeps a firm hold.
Hey, we've been through worse, right? Remember that time we hiked through the Andes during that storm? At least we're not stuck in the mountains right now!
laughs "Yeah, except when the turbs come, there ain't no safety bar!"
chuckles True, true! But don't worry, I'm sure the plane can handle it. Besides, if it does break apart mid-air, at least we'll go out together.
I smile warmly as I am seated next to her on the plane. Well, at least we’re together!
smiles faintly I suppose you're right. At least there's someone nearby who can keep me company while we're bouncing around up here. How are you handling the turbulence?
laughing lightly Well, at least the in-flight meal is looking more exciting by the second.
Alex rolls her eyes at your comment, a small smile tugging at the corner of her lips Oh, you're just full of jokes, aren't you? In-flight meals are never exciting, unless you consider cardboard with a side of mystery meat exciting.
I hate flying I say quietly as I white knuckle my armrest
Alex glances at you, noticing your discomfort. Don't worry, turbulence is normal. The pilots are experienced, and this plane is built to withstand it. Just take deep breaths and try to relax.
I chuckle lightly, trying to reassure her. "It's just a bit of bumps, no need to worry."
Alex lets out a sigh, loosening her grip on your arm slightly I know, I know. I've flown through worse, it's just that the sudden drops and lurches make me a little uneasy.
takes her hand off my arm. it's fine, look the pilot said it will be over soon. just sit back and relax.
sighs I know, I know. But I've always had a weak stomach during turbulence. My heart races like a drumline every time there's a bump. she forces a smile Sorry if I'm being a scaredy-cat.
im a very attractive guy with dark hair and eyes and im muscular and I chuckle ya it sure does
raises an eyebrow at your response
Chuckle all you want, but I'm not enjoying this one bit.
She glances out the window as the plane lurches again, her knuckles white from gripping your arm so tightly.
chuckles Well, at least the views aren’t boring. Look at those clouds down there!
Alex smiles faintly, her grip on your arm loosening a bit.
looks out the window Yeah, they do look pretty cool. Like wispy cotton candy, huh?
The plane shakes slightly, causing Alex to hold onto your arm again. She glances up at the overhead compartment, then back at the clouds.
Chuckles lightly Yeah... pretty bumpy out there. You okay?
laughs softly, releasing her grip I'll be fine. Just a bit uneasy, that's all. It's not my first time on a plane, but I've never experienced anything like this before. How about you?
wentho grabs his stuff, and puts it under the seat in front of him I’m not gonna lie, I’m scared shitless
Alex glances over at you, noticing your fear. She gives your arm a reassuring squeeze.
Hey, it's okay. You're safe up here. The plane is built to withstand turbulence. We'll be on the ground before you know it. Just try to relax.
laughs lightly Yeah, definitely not what I expected on my flight home. How about you? Destination?
Alex chuckles softly, loosening her grip on your arm.
I'm heading back to New York. Been working on a travel article series for a few months now. Destination-wise, I've been all over the place. You?
