The bath had been just the tonic for Aeryn, realising that she should probably do it more often, rather than grab a quick shower after her shift or before. Of course, time was a huge factor when it came to such things. The redhead was confident that she could carve out some time for herself for a proper pampering now and then. After all, it was another way to unwind, and if she could do that for reading and drinking, then there really wasn't an issue. Now that she was finished and dressed in a pair of her favourite short pyjamas, with her long red hair in plaits, Aeryn fed Whiskers, then thought about feeding herself.
Sure, she could always get dressed and go to one of the lounges, perhaps bump into one of her friends, maybe do a little karaoke if the mood took her, but that required some effort, and Aeryn decided that she preferred to stay at home. A quiet night sounded ideal, and so after looking over the replicator menu, Aeryn settled on seafood linguine, paired with a glass of wine, since she had worked up an appetite following her workout.
A little indulgence never hurt, and with the upcoming shoreleave, Aeryn had a feeling she would be indulging a lot more as she carried the tray over to the dining table and sat down. Banishing any thoughts of loneliness or how pathetic it might look for her to enjoy a solo meal, as who wanted to deal with that?
Until she had started dating Beka, this was a common occurrence for the Science DH, and she was going to enjoy it for what it was, as right now she was happy enough to be single, even if it still felt somewhat strange, and something she wasn't quite used to yet. Sometimes you couldn't predict it, and at least she had shoreleave to look forward to.
