When Two Worlds Collide

[Aeryn Miller]

Aeryn had to stifle a chuckle at the reference that Beka then made about Nat, knowing from first hand experience what it was like to spill a drink, and the way that the embarrassment burned just as much as the alcohol itself. Of course she had learned to brush it off or make some joke about it, before she decided to be diplomatic with her response. “ I won’t tell her” she replied with a wink as Beka realised what she had said. The apology and explanation that followed, was enough to almost catch Aeryn off guard, as it had been a long time since anyone had called her hot, let alone it coming from Nat’s roommate.

“ I guess it was fate then” Aeryn remarked, suddenly feeling a little more bolder than she usually would be, because Beka had succeeded in casting a sense of intrigue, a feeling that Aeryn hadn’t experienced since … well it didn’t matter as Beka then invited her in and offered her a drink.

“ A soda would be good, thanks”.

While she could have opted for something stronger, it didn’t feel right, at least not yet as Beka apologised for a second time and introduced herself properly complete with a curtsey. “ The honour is all mine, as it’s not every day that someone calls me hot and curtsies for me".

" I'm Aeryn" the Security Chief added, despite being a little flustered at the compliment that had been given.
