Ten Forward
Marian is holding a padd, and her fingertips are resting around the lip of her cup.
She could be said to be reading a book, and drinking a cup of a tea.
The little black screen is not as good as bound paper and leather, and the tea is from a magic from the wall that is a science that looks like The Lady's work with flashing light. The replicator's Lily Tea tastes nothing like the one she's missed, but she doesn't dislike the Earl Grey the woman behind the bar suggested she try tonight.
It may not be perfect. But neither is being on a starship.
Yet she has a seat. She has Caspian and Kate. She has tea and a book.
No one could ever say Marian hasn't always been very good at compromise.
