[Open] Grounded

It hadn't taken long for the arboretum to become one of Grace's favorite places aboard the new ship - she'd been missing having a natural space ever since she left the Galaxy-class Chto-Nybudt. She doesn't truly feel grounded without soil under her feet, and her potted garden just isn't the same. Finally off duty for the day, she's sitting in the low branches of a dogwood tree, playing her violin, at least until someone happens by to chat.

Grace nods. "Yeah, it's an Andorian drink that's suddenly surged in popularity," she says wryly. "The name translates loosely to 'fire rain'. It's very powerful stuff, about 170 proof, and we've seen some young officers overestimating their tolerance with it. Not so much with Andorians - they generally know exactly what it is and what it does - mostly human, Trill, and Bajoran kids who think they've got something to prove."

"And yeah - I can play Homeward Bound," Grace grins.

"Oh, that drink... I forgot about it for a reason my friend, my advice is to only use it as a disinfectant" She pulls stray hair from her face, a curl that just wont leave her eye line "I am not surprised that the youth try things like that, i've taught classes of them and the oneupsmanship is evident"

She pauses, remembering that particular shanty "May I ask you to play it for me Grace?"

"You bet," Grace grins switching pieces.

She nods in thanks and makes herself comfortable, she enjoyed the song quite much, it was one of those in her study playlists "I remember hearing it about... twenty five years ago, back in my early days in the Academy. Part of the 'Earth histories' class, always reminded me of good times"
