Chow time (D5 EE Cafeteria)

[Lakshmi Kaala]

"Someone needs to guard the perimeter." Laks points out.

[Richard Winter]

"I don't think tomorrow will be boring," he said, thinking about the talks with the AFFC. "I'll be glad to take you up on that offer, Laks," Richard said with a smile. "Now that the city is open we could do a little bar crawl there."

[John Slaktare]

Bar crawls not being his thing, being a non-drinker, he doesn't really have anything to contribute to that idea.

"Yeah. Perimeter needs watching," he agrees.

[Lakshmi Kaala]

"We'll go." Lakshmi replies, speaking for herself and Tessa. The blonde smiled a little. She hadn't said no.

[Richard Winter]

"Then let's see when we can go celebrate!" he said enthusiastically, "What about you Butcher?" he asked him

[John Slaktare]

"I don't drink. If you need someone to stay sober though," he replies with a shrug.

[Tessa Wentworth]

"That might be smart. Hangover headaches are not fun." Wisdom from Tessa.

[Richard Winter]

Richard nodded, "But most of the time you don't think about it when you're having fun." He said and laughed.

[GM Yuusha]

Finishing her meal, Laks lets out a pleased sound as she pats her stomach. "That was good." She washes the food down with some fresh milk.

Tessa has nearly cleared her plate. Even speaking less she is a slower eaten than Lakshmi.

[John Slaktare]

John was actually a very deliberate eater. He chewed his food patiently and made sure it was properly masticated before swallowing. So half his food was still around, and his area was very clean.

"Well, if you need someone sober to come along, let me know."

He nods in agreement with Lakshmi.

[Lakshmi Kaala]

"Let's see about it when we're more secure. Hey, enjoy the curry Butcher." Laks flashes a smile his way as she grabs her tray and gets up.

[Tessa Wentworth]

Tessa followed suit until Laks grabs her tray too. "See you both soon I hope. Please be safe out there. Good luck tomorrow." She offers some words of support as Laks walks off to return the trays.

[John Slaktare]

"Appreciated," John replies with a nod. "Stay safe yourself. Though I suppose I'll probably be one of the pilots trying to ensure that tomorrow."

[Richard Winter]

"We're doing our best!" he said, his by now probably cold food in front of him. "See ya!"

[Tessa Wentworth]

"What is it... good hunting." She remembers the saying. She turns to repeat it to Richard. Giving each a wave she trots after Laks.

[Lakshmi Kaala]

The Captain, done with the trays, lifts her hand as she walks past the still eating pair. "Don't go to sleep too late tonight. Nice chatting to you again John, Richard. Mata ne~"

She shakes her hand gently in a wave, Tessa turning around to give her own, before both women leave the cafeteria.

/ Exit

[John Slaktare]

Butcher returns the wave and then continues eating. Eventually he looks up at Richard and tilts his head, thinking for a moment. "Where you from?"

[Richard Winter]

"Hesperus II. Jungles, wastelands, factories. Not a vacation spot, but my home," he replied.

[John Slaktare]

John nodded at that. "Been a while since you been back?"

[Richard Winter]

"The last time was three years ago. About the time I decided to become a mercenary. Where are you from, if I may ask?"
