Kaia shrugged. “A little. I took lessons, but I was never very musical. I can certainly try, though,” she said with a small grin. She took the small instrument and settled in a half-seated position up against the wall, testing the strings in her paws before strumming a short melody. Her playing was simple, but from the way she handled the instrument, it was within the realm of imagination that someone with notable talent in it’s usage could make some beautiful or fun music.

For a moment, Kiama watched as Kaia played, but it wasn’t long till she closed her eyes to focus as much as possible on the music. While she listened a soft smile spreaded across her face.

“If we were near Galdor, I would take you to a concert.”

Kaia, Engineer.

Blinking a couple of times, Kiama looked at her and said, “I’d love that. Thank you. I hope we’ll get close to Galdor one day.” Without thinking about it, she moved closer to Kaia and gently wrapped an arm around her shoulder.

Kaia purred a little. “It may be a while, given that we are in the wrong quadrant for that,” she said with a laugh. The tiny ensign slipped out of the grip of the much taller humanoid and went to the nearest doorway. “This house has, if I remember correctly from the program, the front room which is used as a living/dining room combination, a kitchen and food preparation room, a storage basement, two bedrooms, a hallway, and a lavatory.”

“True, but thanks to the wormhole it doesn’t take nearly as long as it would otherwise. No 70-year journey,” Kiama said with a soft smile; only then realising that her comment might actually be like pouring salt onto a wound and hoping that it would feel like that for Kaia. Rising to her feet, she followed Kaia to the doorway, wondering what a kitchen and all in her culture looked like. Tilting her head slightly to the side, she asked, “It’s probably a stupid and ignorant question, sorry, but what is the difference between the kitchen and the food preparation room?”
