While Aeryn had enjoyed Tarek's pun, Mara and Beka reacted a little differently to her fellow science officer before the small group was joined by a Bolian woman wearing a dress in a lovely shade of purple. The CSO hadn't met Ensign Halee personally until this moment, but she'd heard a lot about her from Beka, smiling as the other woman teased her girlfriend. " It's nice to finally meet you Halee" Aeryn offered warmly, as the ship's unofficial singing teacher encouraged Mara to follow Ju and sing on the karaoke.
Having just dealt with Beka trying to do the same thing, there was some trepidation about whether Halee would succeed. However, she didn't blame Beka for her reaction as the Doctor moved to the other side of her. Despite the warning from Mara, Beka agreed with Halee, and Aeryn had to admit that she too would like to hear Mara sing. It became a waiting game as Mara steered Halee away for a private conversation that couldn't be ignored.
" Yeah that's probably wise" Aeryn teased when Beka made a joke before Halee succeeded in getting Mara to perform. Aeryn then watched with interest, recognising the song that her friend had chosen and agreeing with Beka about how unexpected it had been. " She's really good, and don't sell yourself short Babe, as you've got a great voice too".
Aeryn was no popstar, but she could hold a tune and always enjoyed it whenever Beka sang, as Mara brought the first song to a close, clapping as she would do for anyone. The second song came as a surprise to Aeryn, but it also made sense considering the theme of the evening, there was more to it as Mara attempted to get her, Beka, and Ju to join her. Thinking she should have had another beer, Aeryn held back for just a moment until deciding that she might as well have a go.
" What the hell, count me in," she said, discarding her glass as she followed Beka to the stage. " C'mon Tarek" she added, hoping to rope him in.
This was either going to go down well or horribly as she threw caution to the wind and tried to follow along with the dance moves and lyrics.
