Mara and Lucy then joined in with the toast, their words adding to the camaraderie of the moment and what had bonded them. Words were powerful, and sometimes it was all you needed to hear to know that you were understood and, more importantly, that you belonged somewhere. For someone like Ardanna, it allowed her to feel accepted and appreciate the second chance she'd been given when things could have turned out much worse, and she would always be thankful for it. She also believed that this impromptu and unexpected get-together wasn't going to end just yet, even with a toast being made, as surely there was more for them to talk about.
Yes, she was aware that she would need to report for duty soon, but since her boss was part of the group, Ardanna figured it wouldn't hurt to stay a little longer because she wasn't the type to take any liberties either. So she sat silent for a moment or two before settling on a subject that might keep the conversation flowing.
" So what music is everyone into?" she asked thoughtfully, aware that she was touching slightly on the subject of hobbies, but continued regardless, as this was slightly a more in-depth question. " I'm a particular fan of rock music, old Earth stuff from bands like Burning Witches, North Wind Calls, Volbeat, Amaranthe, that kind of thing".
Ardanna doubted it would come as a surprise to anyone given her roots, but she also wasn't opposed to hearing other bands or even recommendations from her new friends, as that was another important part of getting to know one another. While she awaited the collective responses, the Ensign drew the attention of a passing server, requesting a fruit-based mocktail for herself and anything that the others might want.
