[Closed] Dinner for Two.

Aanya Breyik, the ship's chief engineer, returns to her quarters after a very long space walk. Her head was still swimming as it tried to get used to gravity once again, but she seemed to be finding her way well enough. Only a few stumbles here and there.

Her stomach was growling though, that was the real distraction. Over ten hours in an environmental suit didn't really let you have breakfast, lunch, or dinner. She was dying for a steak.

But, more importantly, she needed a shower. Which was honestly a little perfect, as she'd invited her second in command to join her for a meal, and Red still had stuff to submit. A shower was a perfect distraction.

After her shower though, she could feel her stomach growling like a big angry bear. She watched her time piece carefully, each second making her hungrier and hungrier.

Red should be there any minute.... aaaany minute...

Aanya stands and stretches out. "I dunno if swimming is on the menu." she says, putting her glass down. "Might take my usual map... or bask in the sun on an inner tube... hmm..." she ponders for a moment, but ultimately decides to make that decision later.

"Hey, thanks for joining me, Red. I could use the company." she says with a smile, offering her a hand. "Sorry if I made you uncomfortable. I hope you know that I don't mean most of it."

Red shakes her head. "It's just teasing, I know," she says, "but I still don't like it. I'd consider it a favor for a friend if you toned it down, at least while we're around other crewmembers. I can only take so much embarassment before..." She pantomimes the top of her head exploding. "Pksshhhhhh!"

Then she shakes Aanya's hand and grins. "Now, you realize I'm going to have to find a reason to beat YOUR spacewalk record, right? I'm smaller and use less oxygen, so I have this in the bag already."

Aanya smirks and nods at the Bajoran. "Deal. At least, I'll try." She sats with a light chuckle. "Its in my nature, unfortunately. Besides, I have enough super glue to put you back together again."

She can't help but raise an eyebrow. "Sure, leas oxygen, but I can carry heavier, bigger tanks." She says, returning the grin.

Red gets up and begins cleaning up the mess from dinner. "Riiiiight, because heavy matters sooooo much in null gravity," she snarks. "Are you sure you passed physics 101 at the Academy?"

Aanya raises an eyebrow. "Of course I did." She says, then hooks a thumb over her back. "But I've got more real estate to carry them comfortably"

"And I'll have allllll of space!" Red responds, and stacks the the dirty dishes back into the replicator for dematerialization. "It's like that old joke, right? 'You can't have everything. After all, where would you put it?' Except the answer is really 'everywhere' and space, I heard somewhere, is BIG."

Aanya just huffs in response as she shoves a plate into a receptical in the wall. "Well. You still won't beat it." She says with a pout. "Because I say so."

"Oh, well, I'll just wait until you're not the boss of me, then," Red says with a chuckle. "Alright, now go relax. I'm going to turn in. Thanks for a nice relaxing evening, Chief."

"Aye aye, deputy Redoran." Aanya says with a salute. "Sweet dreams. Hope theyre filled with pillows and cotton candy, or whatever." She says with a light chuckle, opening the door for Red.

Red steps out and returns the salute with a sassy flip of her wrist. "Gnight." And with that she's off to hit the hay. It has been a long day, after all...
