“So what are we going to have for dinner and can it be dipped into sour cream and salsa?”

“I was thinking burrito bowls,” Brad said. “So I suppose you can have salsa and sour cream on yours, though dipping might be a bit complicated.”

“That sounds amazing.” She said stretching slightly and smiling.

As they arrived at their destination she bounced slightly on the balls of her feet. “After you!” She said

Brad shook his head with a grin. “How gallant of you to let me into my own quarters first,” he teased, stepping ahead of her and allowing his commbadge’s proximity to the door to unlock it and swish it open.

“Computer, lights to 50 percent,” he said, stepping in and heading for his replicator. “What do you want in yours?” he asked.

Willow followed. “Chicken, cheese, avocado, lettuce, cucumber, salsa and sour cream.” She said with a grin. Her stomach rumbled, apparently she was much hungrier than she had thought. She put a hand over it and blushed slightly.

A few button presses, a whir and a flash of light later, Brad brought two bowls emitting light clouds of steam over to his dining area, setting a over-full helping in front of one seat and a normally-filled one in front of the other, before pulling out the chair in front of the over-full bowl.

“Have a seat, Wills.”

Ooc: sorry Brandon feel free to ignore if you’d rather not continue the thread!

Ic: Willow did so before the normal portion and waited a second for him to get comfortable so they could start eating together. She then dove in as if she hadn’t eaten for a week. Which wasn’t true she’s had a small stack of banana pancakes for breakfast.

Before she could take more than one bite, he adeptly switched the dishes. “Ahem, the one full of strange green things is yours,” he said with a teasing grin. His own bowl merely had chicken, cheese, black beans and rice in it, with a lime wedge on top.

“It’s called vegetables you carnivore.” she grinned.

“Why eat the vegetable when I can just inject myself with VitaMix Composition 12?” Brad retorted.

Part of her was aware she was supposed to make conversation during such events as eating with someone but all her brain supplied was “Mmm”

Thankfully, Brad wasn’t much for small talk either, and had been taught never to talk with his mouth full.

After a good proportion of the food was eaten Willow sat back and said “food good. Gunna explode.” She pulled a face.

“No exploding in here,” Brad replied. “I refuse to fill out the ‘damaged quarters’ paperwork on top of the ‘dead Captain’ paperwork. Not to mention the way the rumor mill would handle it.”
