" That she is," Aeryn remarked, knowing that she could wax lyrically about her stunning girlfriend; however, that wouldn't be fair to Hallowette or Lucy. Even now, Aeryn still couldn't quite believe that she could speak about someone in that way, especially after imposing an embargo on herself following Merle's death, but at least she was now able to put that firmly in the past, without having to forget that time of her life and look back on it fondly.
Hallowette was also in agreement with Aeryn's suggestion of getting dessert, and she was right the milkshakes wouldn't quite cut it, despite being the right amount of sweet. The Tac officer then mentioned how she recognised Aeryn's accent, before informing her dining companions about her visit to Dunfermline and how she used to order cranachan. Now that was a dish that Aeryn was very familiar with, as she answered the hybrid. " You've guessed right, I was born in the small town of Portree in the Scottish Highlands, before my parents relocated to the research station on Tamanga III for work. They always made sure that I never forgot my roots, and I would go back to Scotland during my time at the Academy, and while on leave to visit family".
Aeryn loved immersing herself fully in learning more about her family, the culture, and the traditions as often as she could, and at this point, a visit home was long overdue. " I'm also very familiar with cranachan, both my Granny Miller and Granny McDonald used to make it all the time, in fact, Granny Miller still does, but I've never been able to find one that was quite like theirs, even with the replicators, but it's not a bad substitute whenever I'm craving something from home".
By the time Aeryn returned to Portree, she was old enough to have the traditional version, and even though the ship version contained synthehol it still hit the spot. " We could get some if you wanted, unless there's another preference?".
