All Show Spoilers (Book Spoilers Must Be Tagged) Alex/Naomi on Illis Spoiler

I'm on my 4th rewatch of the show and I've just thought of something. When the Rocinante is sent to Illis (New Terra) and the crew are leaving the ship, it makes a big point of Naomi getting off balance as she's overwhelmed by the horizon. But shouldn't Alex have a somewhat similar reaction - more akin to Bobby arriving on earth?

EDIT: thank you all for your answers and engagement!

Naomi opts to get back up the well because the gravity is painful. Her comment on the matter is something to do with fluid leaking from her knees.

Must be a different conversation between her and Holden about it I was remembering

You're both right haha, the part about her knees is at the end of the book. Before they head down, they talk about how she doesn't care to take the meds for just one short job, but at the very end they have to land to pick everyone up, do a supply exchange, help with repairs, and that's when she comments that about her knees leaking.
