Beka was happily eating her cookie as she listened to Robin and Aeryn talk, squeezing her date’s hand at ‘it's good to be with someone who really gets me’.
There was something going on with Robin, but Beka couldn’t quite put her finger on it. She felt like her friend was holding something back. There had been a few times she’d actively considered trying to set Robin up with someone, but the plan had been abandoned because she still hadn’t found anyone she considered worthy. But she was looking.
The type of person who’d date me is definitely off the list she thought. I think Robin needs someone a little quieter, someone who will let her express herself. She probably wouldn’t thank me for trying but she should be happy, she should have something for herself. Someone maybe.
"I think it's brilliant, Mara might not have wanted to do this initially, but she's pulled off one hell of a party."
After a moment Beka’s brain caught up with her ears.
“Hang on. You said Mara did this?” the doctor asked. “Mara Calleja? The big one? Security officer? She organised this party?” The disbelief was clear in her green eyes, and she looked around again. “No way. This has got to be a real Artemis long termer, surely. To be able to crack these jokes at our expense, that’s got to take some confidence.”
She paused for a second.
“So what are we going to play then? I’m not sure my back would thank me for going hard in the Insecure Male Zone, and the safest place to be when I’m shooting is where I’m aiming…”
== To you two! ==
