OOC: Coming from another thread
Mara sat there confused for a second, what had just happened? She hadn’t fully processed the situation before she noticed Sharah slipping away. Figuring she didn’t particularly want to be alone, and Sharah was the only one she knew, Mara decided to grab her book and follow the medical cadet.

“So, where are you off to? Have space for an introverted engineer?”

Sharah nodded, glancing back to see if anyone else was coming. “I haven’t eaten yet. But I was thinking 9-forward. It’ll be a little quieter right now than the mess hall.” She saw Satyol up ahead. “Hey, did you get away from Lt. Rainns? We’re headed to 9-forward, wanna join?”

“Sure!” The Caitian smiled, strolling up to them. Always best to be in a group, he figured. “I just have a bit of statistical reading to do, may as well do it in a relaxing spot.” He had been just heading to his quarters. “In case I forgot to mention it, I’m Satyol Kastyi. Call me Kast.”

“Nice to meet you Kast. I”m Sharah Fayth. Well we will make a fine group. Oxton and I both of some reading to do as well.” She started to hold up a book, but realized she didn’t have it with her. “Guess I forgot it. I’ll have to run down and get it from my quarters once we get to deck 9.” Luckily her quarters were on the same deck and 9-forward.

Mara smiled gently at Satyol, holding out her hand for him… That was the appropriate thing to do, right? She figured there wasn’t any turning back from this point.

“I’m Mara Oxton… I don’t actually have any nicknames”

She held up her book for a second, smiling even more.

“It’s about Vulcan culture… Actually, if you don’t mind me asking… Could you teach me anything about Caitian culture or your language if you have one other than common English?”

Mara was very interested in other species’ cultures and languages. On Earth she had only encountered a few Vulcans, and had learned every language she was ever in contact with on Earth. Which was around 34, of course she had to study a lot and spend most of her time reading and listening to recordings of the languages throughout her life. Mara was always a bit gutted over the fact that she wasn’t able to learn as fast as Vulcans could, or store as much information as Androids could. But she always loved learning about other things, even if other information like social interactions had to be pushed aside!
