AT/D04 - Officer's Lounge

[Aeryn Miller]

It was Mara who answered her first, offering to go again before apologising for going quiet. Her friend's explanation and her words caused a smile to break out on Aeryn's face again, something that had been happening a lot since the redhead decided to visit the lounge, rather than go straight to her quarters. As much as she was serious about the mission ahead, this hadn't been a bad decision, and if she was really digging deep within herself, it was exactly the distraction that she needed. Not drinking had also proved to be a good choice to make, and even though she had considered a nightcap when she eventually turned in, perhaps it wasn't necessary as she spoke.

" I get that, Mara, and it's really good to see this side of you, and you should definitely show it more," Aeryn remarked softly, happy to see her friend shine like she was supposed to. For a moment, she was briefly reminded of the time Mara tried on clothes in her quarters, long before either of them had really known one another, and Aeryn loved how their friendship had progressed. Plus, she could always count on the Bandaran to keep her in check and tell her the truth, even if it wasn't something that she wanted to hear.

" We need to make this a regular thing, and not just in the lounge. I've got another programme we could make use of," Aeryn added, after Mara offered to play piano for Hally, so the pilot didn't have to do it alone.

" Having Mara in your corner is always a good thing, trust me".
