Around 1200, Marishka rang Faye’s chime like a proper guest with little to know agenda.

“Come in,” Faye called out.

Faye’s quarters that she shared with Daggum were two DH quarters combined into one. There was a bedroom, bathroom, living area, office, and small kitchenette. The kitchen area had a two place induction burner, cold storage, and a sink. There was also a closed contraption that looked like a small oven sitting on the counter.

She was sitting on a large couch , with a low table in front flanked by two larger than usual chairs. Along the walls were transparent frames holding old comic books and posters for some of the old Earth bands that Faye loved, like the Clash, David Bowie and The Foo Fighters. On another wall was a somewhat abstract painting of a sea with cliffs. The kitchen area was partially separated by an island with the sink. The door to the left led to the bedroom and bathroom, the door to the right was locked.

The place looked lived in, but overall reasonably tidy. Daggum’s comics were accessible but kept safe, and Faye had her yoga gear stashed in a large sturdy grass basket next to a low shelf with gardening implements in a open tote. There was also a pet bed by the sofa, with food and water bowls near the kitchenette. There was no pet in the bed but as Marishka stepped into the quarters, a fluffy tail appeared belonging to a white and grey long-haired cat. The feline seemed to be studying the newcomer critically, as if decided whether to permit her entrance or not.

“Tess, she’s fine. I invited her,” Faye said with a smirk as she rose from the sofa and set a Padd down to the side. “Don’t mind Tess, she’s very protective.”

Marishka entered Faye’s quarters and glanced around. She enjoyed the decor and was surprised it was so homey. The modifications were subtle but definitely served a purpose. Glancing down at the small feline she attempted to make her eyes soft, she had been told this was effective but, every cat is different.

“Greetings IlnDoq, if I had known you were here I would have brought proper tribute to pay. Please forgive me, I am not Ferengi and I do not believe in bribes.” Hoping she had made momentary peace with Tess, Marishka crossed the space and sat down on the long couch.

“It always surprises me how people can turn their quarters into their own refuge. A little slice of whatever they need to make their time on wherever they’re at more bearable. Hello Faye, what do we need to talk about?”

Marishka was trying to be conversational but, there would always be a part of her that wanted to get right to the point. She was the type of person that would probably always be working on balance. It was in her genetics.
