The ship’s lounge was always a nice place to hang out, and today was no exception. Tak had the day off, and decided to spend the afternoon socialising. They sat near the bar, holding a ukelele-like instrument and picking at it in a cheerful ditty.

Ethan walked into the lounge, a personal PADD tucked under one arm. He had a couple of hours before his next shift and was looking to catch up on some reading he hadn’t had time for. Noticing the cheerful tune, he smiled and made his way over to the Ensign. “Thats a nice tune! Cant say I’ve seen that instrument before.”

Tak inclined their head in greeting. “It is my Tor’she,” they replied, finishing up a movement before pausing their playing. Tak enjoyed playing, it reminded them of soft sand, warm sun, and the crash of waves. This song, in particular, rustled up some long-forgotten memories of their lost sibling. Esan had loved to sing while Tak and Pok played, her voice lilting through the air to accompany the strums of Tak’s Tor’she and the resonant beats of Pok’s steelpan. They pushed the memories away and smiled, focusing on the now. “I played much more in my younger years, I am a little rusty with a lack of practice.”
