It hadn’t been that long since she’d embarrassed herself in front of the senior and junior officers, or at least the ones who had been at the meeting, and yet Aeryn and Robin didn’t seem to be too put out by her appearance. Lucy smiled a little when Robin helped herself to an onion ring. It was a small thing, but starting from square one would take time.
Making some proper progression in social interactions was what kept Lucy moving. Maybe making some friends in the process. Also there was the small matter of learning how to fall in love again.
“Welcome to the Artemis, Hallowette.”
Lucy recalled that Hallowette had commented on the milkshape and so had Aeryn. Milkshakes were good. Homemade and a decent packet mix had their merits. Mixing fresh ingredients with milk and ice cream was always worth it if you didn’t get too experimental. Orrin’s milkshakes were excellent.
“Totally forgot about Orrin’s milkshakes. Do you think he’d be open to the idea of a Raktajino milkshake? Don’t know if the flavors would balance out. Certain culinary experiments should only be tried once and never repeated if they are a disaster. The replicator milkshakes are good, but sometimes a homemade shake can be special.”
Lucy grabbed her burger and took a bite. A mind could wander too far and she was somewhat afraid of rambling. She tried to chew thoughtfully and chased the burger with a gulp of her shake. It was really good. Diner food has a special place for Lucy and she wanted to clear the fog of emotions she was wrapped in before they arrived at the nebula.
