Orvos’s life had taken a drastic change from the familiarity of having Janna around. He was effectively forced to try and make friends outside of his typical sphere of influence. Challenging as it was, he had found time to amend his relationship with his long-ago first officer Dawson from the Aurora – a ship they both commanded centuries ago. Things had changed between them over the years. What had once been a betrayal on both their parts, was now reconciled. The details were now left to the past. Together they moved on.

In fact, it was the very reason Orvos now found himself walking into the Parthenon. The pair would meet every few days, sharing a meal, chatting. Members of the crew also took notice.

One of the servers happened by him and said, “Ah, captain! He’s at table 13, sir.” Orvos grinned and gave the man a nod before moving to Dawson’s location.

Orvos quietly sidled up to the table. Dawson, brought his beverage to his lips before saying, “I was beginning to think you wouldn’t show. With all the hustle and bustle on the ship now, I thought you’d be too busy.”

He shook his head as he took a seat at the table. “You should already know, never too busy for a friend.”

Dawson had taken a swig of his drink before smiling. “Indeed! And you ought to know how much I love being very serious about things.” This time both of them chuckled.

“So what’s the hustle about anyway? Crew’s a bit more active.” remarked Dawson before a server came up to drop off the typical beverage Orvos always ordered - a Wildchild Iced Tea (flavors of blueberry, elderberry, and hibiscus mixed with a hint of sweetener).

Orvos leaned back. “Well, seems the ship is headed to Wer Beta III. Going to be helping them with their weather problems it seems.”

“We the only ship or something?”

“Only ship. For now anyway. I’m sure the crew can handle it. There’s been a lot changes, I know, but they come together when it’s needed.”
