Ensign Jaran Jira - Turquoise Waves of Grain

[Jira Jaran]

(( Hermitage, Northern Plains, Rylor ))

Jaran: ::loudly from inside:: You can just come on in!

The door creaked open and Munro walked in, looking around.

Munro: I'm learning a lot about you this morning, Doctor Jaran. You like beautiful locations. And you don't like material things? 

Jira chuckled at this.

Jaran: I do indeed love beautiful locations. Save for the colour, this place reminds me a lot of home, too. As far as material things, well... sometimes it's nice to get away from distractions. But I'm definitely glad you could join me!

Munro: Thank you, doctor, I haven't had a chance to come planetside yet and this is a wonderful introduction to Rylor :: sniffs :: And that smells delicious, is that fresh pastry? :: Ava points outside :: It's so nice out, should we have breakfast outside? 

Jira was enjoying seeing the commander's reactions. This was a woman who definitely needed a break from bulkheads and warp cores and duty rosters.

They crossed to the kitchen and picked up the wicker tray of pastries from the counter. Prylar Letal had ensured the kitchen was well stocked with local ingredients, and Jira had been a little overzealous with the novelty of being able to bake again. 

Jaran: Pastries! I went a little overboard. I made groatcakes and three different types of droli, since I couldn't decide. Traditionally, these retreats are meant to be meat-free, so I apologise that I don't have any to offer you, as well. But yes, let's go outside. There's a bench that looks over the hills we can sit on.

Munro: After you. 

Jira picked up a small bottle with a viscous substance to take along with the tray, stacked a couple plates on the tray as well, then walked to the back door.

Jaran: Would you mind replicating us a pot of coffee to share? It's the one thing I hadn't done yet.

Munro: Response

The two walked out the back door with their breakfast. The bench was at the top of a low hill a short walk away, and they had a view of a sea of turquoise grass once they were seated. Jira put the tray in between them and offered Munro a plate.

Jaran: I figured you'd want this if you love syrup of squill on your groatcakes like I do.

Munro: Response

They took a moment to eat quietly and look over the vista. It really was a beautiful location. Jira decided to finally speak what was on their mind, though. Where could have been better to do it?

Jaran: I woke up this morning thinking about Callis. I wake up with it on my mind almost every day now. But today was the first time it wasn't all negative. I was thinking of our time under that rock, praying together. Have you thought at all about that since?

Munro: Response
