It was easy for Aeryn to fall back into quiet contemplation as Mara answered Hally regarding her accent, finding the insight into her friend just as insightful as what she had heard from the crew's newest member. While the CSO knew about Mara's origins and how much she had fought to escape, as well as her fight for acceptance, it still amazed the redhead about what she didn't know, therefore allowing her to absorb this new information, and how it would help her to understand and get to know Mara that much more. Tonight was the right moment for it, the calm before the storm, and how this needed to be preserved and turned into a positive for when you needed it the most.
Rather than dwell on any negatives, this proved how easy it was to move on from difficult or awkward subjects, a testament to the personalities currently huddled together in an otherwise busy room. Aeryn also didn't blame Mara for wanting to study Cardassian, considering how frequently the two seemed to cross paths, and the difference it could make for the next time they encountered them. Perhaps it was time for her to do some studying of her own; after all, it surely wouldn't hurt to add something else to her repertoire. A thought to bring up, as Hallowette's posture changed, reigniting the hybrid's earlier energy as she spoke in Klingon before mentioning how she was familiar with Cardassian. It seemed as though Mara and Hallowette had an interest in common, and Aeryn didn't hide the smile that played across her pale lips as her new friend engaged her quietly, along with the other person at their table.
Lucy had been pretty quiet, but Aeryn didn't see the need to try and get her to be engaged, because one, she wasn't a designated parent, and two, they were all adults there. If she wanted to join in, then so be it, as the conversation continued. " Exactly, and believe me, life on the Artemis is never boring," the redhead quipped, knowing that she didn't want to be anywhere else, despite the rumours surrounding the ship.
Hallowette's offer to not only speak some Bajoran or Trill, but also to teach them a couple of words and phrases caught Aeryn's interest, as while she had some knowledge of Bajoran, it had been some time since she had last heard or spoken any of it. " I'd be interested".
