“And here we are on our final stop… and also where we will eat. Replicators are there…” and he pointed, “… and fresh food is there. If you want to tell me what you want, I’ll fetch and bring it over. You can grab us that table by the window.” he suggested.

Cara looked over at the fresh food options. The meds were working so, “Thank you, Gravel, anythin’ fresh, as long as there’s no fish. I’m allergic.” She moved over towards the table and put her back towards the windows. Sitting still or at impulse she could stare at the stars all day long, but the weird streaks that seemed to never move and stay stationary while she could feel the ship moving gave her vertigo and made her sick to her stomach without the meds. Hopefully in a few days it wouldn’t matter, but she didn’t feel like pushing her luck.

Gravel nodded and came back a few minutes later with bangers and mash, sautéed mushrooms, steamed vegetables, peas, corn, marinated beef kabobs. “Didnt know exactly, so I hot an assortment. Now… what would you like to drink?” he asked.

Mardusk

“I don’t suppose they have Guinness?” Cara laughed, “Joking, maybe another time. Strawberry lemonade.” The food smelled amazing and despite earlier she was suddenly hungry.

“Guinness is at Mike’s, and its on tap. Strawberry lemonade, coming up.” and he walked away and came back a few moments later and set a tall glass in front of her. “There you go.” For himself he had a pitcher of what looked like blue milk. As he sat down, the chair gave a protesting groan and Mardusk glared at it, then looked at Cara and smiled. “So… tell me all about you.” and he stabbed a sausage, cut it in half, and ate the half in a single bite.

If Cara thought anything about the groaning chair it wasn’t apparent. She slid several of the beef tips off of a kabob stick, cut them in half and then stabbed one along with a mushroom. She thought while she ate, such a broad question and so many way to answer. “I grew up in near Dublin, Ireland. I like ta play cards, I used ta swim a lot. Donna come anywhere near my quarters when I’m crafting. You will get covered in glue and glitter through no fault of ya own. And I read, a lot, because then I can go on great adventures and not get lost.” It was said totally dead pan, but there was laughter in her eyes as she quickly speared the steamed vegetables and ate them to stop herself from laughing.

O’Farrell

Mardusk smiled and said “Oh, from what I’ve seen you could probably get lost in a PaDD or a book. MIght even take you hours to figure what order the pages go in.” and he laughed. He stabbed the other half of sausage and said “Why Star Fleet? Why be a Counselor? Why not a glue and glitter craftsman somewhere?” and he ate the sausage and took a drink from the pitcher, his eyes never leaving her.
