((Elysium, Deck 6- USS Artemis))
The dynamic duo that was Sam and Sil, had made themselves comfortable at the table and Vitor had quickly spilled the beans about his secret that was the arcade.
Silveira: Oh, it’s the fun place I left on the holodeck. Imril was actually instrumental in helping me finish it and if it wasn’t for him it would still be a work in progress. And there’s something for everyone there. I am sure we can find you a cool arcade… ::He raised his finger before sitting:: Once you finish your meal. Fish and salad is very good for… ::Vitor pointed to Sam and her belly:: The three of you.
Richards: ::Faux pouting:: Fine. I will eat my food. If you don’t show me this cool arcade… I’ll… Well I will. ::furrowing her eyebrows:: I will do something!
She broke out in a fit of laughter. Not even she could take herself seriously sometimes.
Silveira: My dear, you are an expert at doing everything.
Richards: Can I at least pick my own drink?
She looked at him with a grin. Something about Sil made her want to act a bit silly sometimes. This was easily one of those times.
Silveira: But of course, I don’t want to be accused of not giving you a choice.
Richards: Well, if your majesty ::gesturing to Sil:: will allow it. I will have strawberry lemonade.
He seemed to take her teasing in stride, but figured she should lay off just a little bit if she wanted to see the arcade.
Silveira: Very well. Now get yourself comfortable and I will be right back.
Richards: Oh, I will. Don’t you worry. I’ll be so comfortable it’s almost a crime.
She snickered again as Sil made his way to get their food. One of the waiters followed him with a second tray.
He sat down and smiled as he settled back into his spot. He winked at Sam before beginning to get a forkful of food.
Silveira: Now my dear friend, you will enjoy this banquet worthy of a Queen.
Richards: ::Smirking:: I’ll be the judge of that.
Sam watched as he took a bite and savored it, she quietly followed suit and took a bite of the Salad first. It was good. It was really good. With a slight hesitation she took a bite of the fish… He was right. It was delicious.
Silveira: So… What do you think? And seriously I can understand if you don’t like it, but it is really healthy.
Richards: Hmmm. I will need to eat a bit more before I decide if I like it.
She was lying. He probably knew it, but she would keep up the charade just for some fun.
There was a valiant attempt for her to eat her food without making it look like it owed her money or something. She was hungrier than she realized.
Silveira: Response
Richards: So. Tell me more about this arcade.
She had seen some films that showed arcades and one time she convinced Nathan to find a holodeck program for one, but they both ended up disappointed in the lack of arcade games and the abundance of sweaty child smell. She wondered if that was part of what made it “authentic”.
Silveira: Response
Richards: I have to know. Do you have Dance Dance Revolution?
Silveira: Response
TAG/TBC!
