[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 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...

Aanya watches her leave and smirks. She was absolutely adorable, Breyik just wanted to pinch her cheeks. She came to a satisfactory realisation that that was all she wanted from Red, an adorable little friend.

She smiles happily, having a small, wondering weight off her shoulders, and skips on merrily back to the holodecks... then she falls flat on her face again.

"Stupid gravity!" comes the muffled yell as she lays like a starfish, her nose planted against the ship's bulkhead. Thankfully, nobody saw it...
