The truce that had been called between Beka and Mara was the proverbial icing on the cake for Aeryn, as the redhead took a sip of her drink, knowing that the rest of the evening could only get better. While the drink was new to her, the CSO didn't dislike it as Ju decided to kick off the karaoke. Aeryn admired the newbie's enthusiasm and, while she was nowhere near as comfortable as she had been at Christmas when it came to singing, decided that maybe she could get up there after all, without as much liquid courage.
Only time would tell whether she would sing straight after Ju or not, as she gave the Engineer her attention, enjoying the beat of the song she had chosen, despite not being familiar with it. That was the important part for Aeryn, as the trio of women was approached by one of Aeryn's scientists. There was a moment where Aeryn realised how that sounded and covered the residual smirk with a well-timed sip of her drink, before answering Tarek.
" Ah yes, it's good to see you again Tarek, you heard correctly and yes, that's probably for the best," she said with a slight playfulness to her tone. Of course, Aeryn had heard about Tarek's escapades, and while she was a fan of pranks at the appropriate time, Ju's party probably wasn't the best location for one to happen, especially with the number of senior officers present.
Tarek then moved on to greeting Beka and Mara, before coming up with the kind of pun that either caused you to laugh or groan, depending on your inclination. Aeryn chose to laugh because she was wired that way, before noticing Carol's arrival and Damian's conversation coming to an end.
" Will you be singing some Karaoke, Tarek?".
