== Evie's Quarters - the "in-between" time zone ==
Gath rang the chime and when she opened the door, he was holding a bag and a travel case of some kind. He was dressed in comfortable tan pants and a simple, white, short sleeve t-shirt. The shirt was snug, but the soft cotton fabric was very flexible.
"Good evening. I wasn't sure what you had for preparation, so I brought some things, just in case. So few people prepare food using real heat anymore." He stepped inside and continued, "I brought a sweet white wine for with the seafood as well as a kind of thick flatbread I became fond of that I think you'll like. It makes a great appetizer as well as part of the main meal. It has a little bit of goat cheese that is melted on it that adds a mildly salty taste and is quite appealing."
He set things down and smiled again as he turned to look at her. He took his time to look at her from head to toe, not rushing. His smile widened when he realized she was barefoot.
"That's the kind of sight that keeps a man home at night."
Gath then wrapped his arms around her and drew her close for a soft hug and kissed her on the cheek. "The case has a very compact but powerful kind of hot plate for field use. It also has a couple of knives, a pan and some cooking utensils. There's even a folding grill that can be used over it, if you're into that approach and I have used it with some small wood chips to create a smoked flavor a few times, but it's tricky to use and not set off the fire detection system on the ship, so maybe we hold off on that feature this time."
Slipping his own shoes off and going barefoot, he said, "I love the bare feet. I'm a bit of a naturalist myself." He rubbed his hands together and looked around, "So, what's the plan?"
