Xaivis: Settling…although how settled I’m allowed to get is largely going to depend on how this conversation goes.
Stendhal: Uh that's great cos I'm sure that this conversation will be great!
She gave a warm smile, which he returned.
Xaivis: I hope so too.
Stendhal: Do you like a tea?
She had a kindly manner about her, she had a calmness that resonated – putting others at ease. It was a talent and one definitely best employed in her current role.
Xaivis: I do but I’m more of a coffee man actually, if you have one.
Stendhal: Response
He watched as she collected the drinks and handed him his – the flavour and aroma were good, solid. He wondered if he’d ever really get tired of this…he certainly hoped not.
Xaivis: Well, basically I’m here so you can assess if I’m psychologically fit for duty. ::He smiled:: but I’d not force a snap – it’s always best to gather some intel and plan.
Stendhal: Response
Xaivis: Perhaps I should start at the very beginning…I was born on Terra Nova. I don’t know if you know much about it but, even being so close to Earth, it has a very complex history and quite a harsh climate in places…half of the planet is still broadly uninhabitable.
Stendhal: Response
Xaivis: Exactly, so it’s not exactly a thriving world…a lot of people work the land or are involved in the reclamation.
Stendhal: Response
TBC
