“We are going to our room. We are taking off our clothes. We are breaking open some mead. We are getting drunk and having fun until we pass out.” Capall said matter-of-factly. “And not necessarily in that order.” He looked down at her and said “But I will say… punching those idiots felt really good.” and he laughed.

Runa was staring at her PaDD and typing away at it. The other four would soon have the video arriving in their inboxes. She tapped send and looked up at him. “Oh I bet it did. Do you wanna see it in slow motion?”

“We may need more mead from storage. I don’t know if we have enough to get drunk with. We need at least 6 bottles.”

Capall smirked. “When I did my risk assessment of this trip, factoring in sociological and psychological changes from Earth to the ship to Oed, this situation came up as a statistically high probability. So… we have three cases in the crate storage next to the room.” The doors opened and he stepped out and went down the passageway to the door past their quarters and opened it, walked in, and came out with a case of twelve earthenware bottles. He looked at Runa and said “Step one. Step two is nudity.”

‘Risk assessment’ should not sound sexy, but then Capall said it…Runa was pretty sure he could say anything and it would sound hot. And where did that heavy Scottish accent come from earlier? The man was holding out on her. She walked through the door, grabbed a bottle from the crate and dug into it and pulled out a packet. “Two ways to enjoy mead. The first is cold. The second is warmed and spiced.”

Runa moved into the kitchen and removed the seal and set the open bottle in a pot of water that she set on high. The opened the packet and poured the spices into the bottle. Then the clothes started getting tossed.

Capall watched her get the mead sett up and then grinned like a twelve year old boy seeing his first naked picture. He started removing his own clothes, and soon he looked at his wife and said “Um… I forgot what step three is.”
