After shift Chandel was in her quarters changing into a more comfortable caftan and head scarf for the evening when an invitation from Leah pinged through on her comms. Accepting the invitation she finished tucking in the ends of her head scarf around the foil of braids on her head and headed out of her quarters.
Fortunately Leah was on the same deck as Chandel, just on the other end of the corridor so she just had to make her way around the curve of the saucer section.
Reaching Leah’s door, Chandel rang the chime.

“¡Adelante!” Leah said, and the door unlocked for Chandel to enter.

Inside the single berth quarters, Leah was making do with not only the smaller space, but the decided lack of decor. None of her changes were permanent, but she had drastically changed the appearance of the standard space.

Her bed was tucked to one side, with a crocheted cover in dark purples, magenta and mustard circles over top. In the opposite corner was the loveseat and an armchair, both draped over their backs with soft blankets. There was a thin area rug that covered most of the living space in a dark red with traditional floral motifs in blues, oranges and pale yellows.

Floating shelves and a bookcase contained real books, wrought iron candle sticks and a few framed photos. There were a couple antique style travel poster for Córdoba, Spain near her bed and on the wall by the couch was a large tapestry for a Spanish female dancer in a flowy red dress. Next to it was a tall floor lamp with 9 mosaic globes hanging in successive heights. they cast a warm glow of colour.

Atop the low wooden coffee table was a tray with little divisions filled with various beads and a another tray with tools, wire and findings. Leah was sitting on the floor at the table. She looked up and beamed. “Hi! Come on in. I was just gathering supplies.

Chandel smiled as she entered, “Hello Leah, how are you?” She looked curiously around for a moment, taking in the decor before moving over to the table opposite Leah and gracefully lowered herself to a lotus position, shifting her long caftan over her knees comfortably. “This is nice, reminds me of my grandmere’s small cabin in the bayou.”
