The lack of immediate recognition upon telling Beka her name was intriguing to Aeryn. Then again, with the size of the Artemis, it didn't come as a complete surprise that not everyone knew who she was. Aeryn thought of it as a positive, as this way she could get to know Beka, without the trappings that came with rank and position. After all, she was still a person, and it might be fun just to be herself until the subject of her being Nat's boss eventually came up. Even then, it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.
There was more to Aeryn than her rank, and when Beka complimented her name while fetching their drinks from the replicator, it brought out a smile from her fellow redhead. It wasn't often that Aeryn had someone comment on her name and how exotic it might seem, but for her, it was just her name.
" Thanks, but I'll let you in on a little secret. I didn't think it was that special until I found out why my parents had chosen it", Aeryn began to reveal. " I was named after their favourite character from an old Earth TV show called Farscape".
Aeryn didn't expect Beka to be aware of that particular show, but then something happened that made the security officer pause her train of thought. It wasn't Beka telling her to sit but rather the way the Doctor looked at her, as she put the glasses of cola onto the table. From this angle, as Aeryn sat down, it wasn't hard to notice certain things and that's when another thought entered her mind.
If Beka was trying to flirt with her, then Aeryn was out of practice as there hadn't been anyone since Merle. It wasn't as if she had never received attention from the opposite sex before, but interesting all the same, before Beka's demeanour changed ever so slightly. Naturally, Aeryn was concerned until Beka apologised and carried on the conversation as if nothing had happened. " It's okay, Mara told me about it and as to what brought me to Artemis. A new start after losing someone very close to me".
