Rand walked into her shared quarters with Randy, not paying attention to anything around her. She was mad. She stomped over to the small kitchen area, where she could easily prepare simple snacks or coffee for the CO and XO if required. She pulled out cheeze-whiz and crackers and went and threw herself down on her bed. She grabbed Iòna, her stuffed Kelpie, tucked it into an elbow and popped the cap off the cheeze-whiz. She was muttering curses in Gaelic and totally ignoring the crackers and just oozing the cheeze-whiz straight into her mouth. The longer she laid their, the louder her muttering got, and the more colorful it became.
