JP: Doctor Renaie Shortrith & Lieutenant Commander Chythar Skyfire - A Face To A Name (Pt. 2)
Zeph
Again, the researcher’s brow creased as the thought was just a bit too loud, causing him to accidentally pick up on this one question. He said nothing, just nodded slightly. He didn’t need to reveal his gifts unless asked, at this point.
Renaie flopped faux-dramatically onto the floor then dissolved into a bubble of childish giggles. It was unexpected that they already had a friend, and very mild hysteria came over them, causing the giggles.
It takes him a few moments to react to someone having an uncontrollable fit of giggles at his feet, but reaches his hand out to them to help them back to their feet.
They took his hand gratefully and slowly stood up.
Shortrith: ::silly, earth reference:: renaie.exe has stopped working
Skyfire: Would you care for one of my signature raktajinos to reboot?
Shortrith: ::perking up:: Yes please.
Skyfire: To the BC then? I might have time to fix you one before I have to resume parenting duties.
Shortrith: Yep, all good!

CD entered with Renaie and wandered behind the bar like he owned it. Most of the staff who were on duty was used to Chythar doing this by now, since he founded this particular franchise. However, that was approximately four years ago. He was sorta off and on as a barista when he wasn’t busy in sickbay or elsewhere.
Renaie slowly turned around, taking a moment to observe her surroundings.
Shortrith: I forgot how nice a place this was. But then again, I’ve only been here once ::laughing softly::
Skyfire: Happens to everyone the first time. Not to worry, one signature Skyfire raktajino coming up!
Renaie’s eyes widened as their face broke out into a wide smile
Shortrith: Thank you!!!
It took him a few minutes to mix it up, but when he was done he presented the steaming hot cup on the table in front of them, and mixed one up for himself.
Skyfire: A toast to your graduation and posting aboard the Astraeus. :: And raised his glass ::
Shortrith: Let’s drink to that. ::raised glass:: and to meeting penpals in person?
He clinked his glass against theirs, and took a swig of his drink. It was perfect, and he had perfected the recipe. He smiled slightly and determined he had just enough time to finish it before he headed back to deal with kids, and dinner.
Renaie took a sip. oO It’s heavenly. Similar to how Mum and Dad made it at home. Oo They had to fight the urge to immediately drink it all.
Shortrith: This is really good! Thank you for making it.
Skyfire: Not a problem. Whoops, look at the time. I got just enough time to finish this, then must be getting along.
Shortrith: All good! Shall we keep in touch? I’ll see you around. ::smiles at him::
Skyfire: Yep, I’ll be in touch. See you later.
He knocked back the rest of his drink and made his way out of the lounge. He had impatient kids at home.
