Séan picked the deck up, discarded the top card, then dealt one down for Solal, one up for himself, one up for Solal, and a last one up for him. Solal was showing an eight of diamonds, while Séan’s were showing a seven of hearts and a jack of spades. He looked expectantly at Solal to see if you wanted to hit or stay.

Solal considered the cards for a moment and then indicated for a ‘hit’. “What else did you do for fun on cargo runs?” It was his attempt to make polite conversation over the game.

Séan dealt Solal another card face up, it was a five of clubs. “Well for awhile it was a lot of reading. Then it was physical training and meditation, which I know doesn’t sound very fun. It was something I needed in my life to center me though. So between distance learning, card games with my dad, reading and keeping myself centered… well, I kept busy. It’s probably ironic that I’ve spent most of my life in space but I still love novels set in space.”

“Meditation is fun,” Solal replied. Fun wasn’t really the right word to him, but it was something nice to do in free time. “Old novels set in space are fascinating, to see how wrong 20th and 21st century earth writers were about space. I’ll stay.” The last comment was regarding the game. His down card was a five of spades, making eighteen total.

“I’m staying at seventeen.” Séan said with a smile. “They certainly had some strange ideas on how faster than light travel would work, what sort of ‘aliens’ we were bound to discover, and the ratio of habitable planets. Though I have to say Vulcan barely counts in that category. Why do you think most non-humans are humanoid in appearance? Is that a human-centric question to ask?”
