((Mini Time Jump - Corridor, Deck 4, USS Ronin))
The shift change meant that the hallways were particularly busy and it was difficult to avoid running into people. She found herself apologizing with every other step despite her best efforts to make her way through the space without any physical contact.
All of this while keeping her eyes on Renaie, who was leading her to their preferred dining location.
Velis: What do you think? Are we close?
Shortrith: I think so, we should be there in a couple of minutes.
She only hoped that was true, especially given how clogged the hallways were. There was also concerned that the room would be full and there would be no room to sit. But she supposed they would deal with that problem when they got there.
Shortrith: Here we are!
When they at last arrived, she was grateful to see that the environment was relaxing and that there was plenty of places for them to enjoy their meal. She followed Renaie toward a nearby table.
Shortrith: What do ya want to eat? It's my shout.
Velis: ::pauses:: What's your favorite? ::grins:: I'm feeling adventurous today.
Shortrith: Response
While she went with Renaie's suggestion for food, she was craving something sweet and chose one of those virgin fruity drinks.
With that settled, she sat back and took in the atmosphere around her. As much as she enjoyed a good social experience, there was such a thing as too much. The smaller group interactions tended to be less taxing and more enjoyable. She was glad Renaie had invited her.
Velis: So is this your go to place or one of a few?
Shortrith: Response
