Hallowette's response to Aeryn's suggestion of getting some cranachan was met with an approving smile, especially upon seeing the naughty gleam in the tac officer's eyes, along with her appreciation of Aeryn's culture. Something that Aeryn hoped to return to in due course because she always enjoyed learning about other cultures and practices. " Ah, Scottish boys do have a certain charm", Aeryn replied knowingly, although that came from what she had heard and seen, rather than experiencing it herself thanks to her upbringing away from her original roots. Moreso from her cousins, and how they were happily married to people who weren't necessarily from that part of the world or even Earth itself.
" I'm glad you loved it there" she added, not forgetting that part of the conversation, and, in a way, it made her a little homesick, which she was able to quickly shake off as Hallowette revealed somewhat shyly about how the landlady had been able to make her an alcohol-free version of the dessert and why. As far as Aeryn was concerned, there was no shame in that at all, because despite her small collection of whiskey, it wasn't as if she had to drink every day, so she would happily have the same version as her friend. " I'm sure it was, my Granny sometimes did a similar version for me, especially when I was younger, so let's see how the replicators fare with an alcohol-free one".
" I don't mind at all, and yes, my accent seems to come back stronger whenever I visit there," she said. " As for some phrases and such, I'm sure I can teach you a couple. I'll get dessert, and then we'll have a little lesson on the Scottish language".
Leaving the table briefly, Aeryn fetched two alcohol-free cranachans and two lavender lemonades and returned with them. Sitting back down, the CSO thought about a phrase that they could start with.
"Keep the heid, which means keep calm under pressure".
