She walked over to the ship’s comm button. =/\=Dinner’s on! Your favorite! Get in here before it’s gone.=/\= It was everyone’s favorite so they should start rushing in. She moved back to the counter and started plating. She carried two plates over to Eli and Oneshe and set them down. It was Texas style toast with a traditional cinnamon and egg French Toast soak. Then it was covered in an almond, vanilla, and sugar butter. It was topped with sliced coconut and roasted almonds and baked. Then she topped it with fresh fruit. There were options of various syrups and powdered sugar on the table as well.

Eli leaned his head into her arm as she sat down the plate, it smelled amazing it always did. “I’m sorry I made fun of you” he said softly

Vash chuckled. “I’d be sad if you didn’t.” Everyone here treated her normal. Included the teasing. She didn’t like being seen as a kid, but from Eli it didn’t sting. She was his kid.

Nathan stepped through the door, appearance tidy as always and a worn PADD in one hand on which he’d been reading the NOTAMs for this part of space. That was one agreement he’d had with the Zois for years - Nathan took care of staying on top of local news and told the brothers - or now just Noril - only if something was particularly interesting or concerning. It was decent enough downtime work when he wasn’t watching the bridge. He strolled around to Oneshe’s left and took a seat.

Vash grabbed another plate and set it down in front of Nathan. “If you eat fast there might be seconds.”

Oneshe ate with surprisingly good table manners when it meant avoiding getting syrup in his fur. Shortly after Eli’s apology, he paused mid bite,

“I did not mean to offend you either, miss,” he said,

“Honestly it’s hard to tell anyone’s age, you know. Like Vulcans, most of them are at least 50 years older than you think they are. And most Orion women age very gracefully as well.”

Vash nodded once, “Apology accepted. I guess I have good genes then.” Deltans aged better than even Vulcans.

After swallowing down another bite, he looked at what remained on his half-full plate,

“This is really good. Very good. I am going to gain so much weight.”

“Welcome to the ship,” Nathan laughed. “Don’t worry, we’ll keep you busy enough it won’t stick.”

Vash chuckled, “I’ll take the compliment, but don’t worry, I don’t make this often.”

Noril headed in, grinning at Vash. “Do I smell food? Were you gonna call me?”

Vash raised a brow, “I made an all call. It’s not my fault you find your computers so fascinating.” She grinned. She grabbed a plate and pushed Noril’s shoulder toward the table as she put the plate on the table. “Sit down and eat.”

“Nope, its an display of bronzed edibles. It only looks like food.” TJ responded. He sat down to eat.

Vash gave TJ a cheeky grin. “I’m not sure if I should be insulted that you think my food is made of metal or flattered that you think it looks like a work of art.”

Eli’s eyes narrowed, “Well taste good to me, well done Daughter.” he said noting her new title for effect.

Vash grinned and rounded the table and dropped a kiss on Eli’s cheek. “Thanks Papa.”

Noril almost rolled his eyes. “I swear, the two of you could be less obnoxious about it,” he said as he sat down to eat.

~ N, Captain

Vash wrinkled her nose at him, almost stuck her tongue out at him, and Noril would know it too. “No. I finally have a father who actually wants me and loves me. I’m going to enjoy every minute of it.” She put a hand on her hip and tossed her non-existent hair, “So there.”

Eli leaned back, “A boy friends love is fickle, but a fathers love is eternal.” he said with a smirk on his face, “Speaking of which you and I need to have a little chat soon” he said as his eyes narrowed.

Oh uh… she hadn’t old Papa about that… oh she wanted to be a fly on the wall for that chat!

Oneshe looked between all three inquisitively. Surprised by his newfound understanding of the group dynamics. It was obvious to him that Eli being Vash’s father was probably symbolic. Such practices existed among his people as well.

It was more interesting to observe the hostility between Eli and the Captain. But he decided to not get involved. It wasn’t his tail, as the saying went. Instead after swallowing another bite he attempted to make conversation,

“So,” he said, directing his gaze at Rivers, “I do not think I remember hearing your name?”

Noril effortlessly read minds. Without a glance at Oneshe, he said, “If it were real hostility, you’d know it.”
