Ten Forward Lounge - OTA

[writes_with_digital_ink]

It's been a long shift.

Very long.

And frustrating.

As soon as she clocks off, Gaila stalks to her quarters, strips out of her uniform and pulls on a dress. A Terran sundress, not Orion, because frankly, she's over pants and she'd feel undressed if she pulled on one of her tunics without pants.

She'd meant to sulk in her room and chill, but her room is small, itchy, and so she finds herself at the lounge. The lounge has people, but it's after the main time people are here. She can handle it.

And so, Ensign Gaila betIlley commandeers a table near a window, and flops over it. She'll get to her drink in moment. For now?

Flop.

"Exactly!" Luna was faking it big time by this point. But the candy had become a badly needed mental diversion,"Candy a la the Wizarding World might just be the bit of fun someone needs." steering herself for the questions bound to follow. She added,"Nice to meet you Gaila, pretty name too. I've just been trying to understand the world I'm now in."

"Candy and fun are always things people need."

She doesn't ask about Wizarding World. She knows all too well what it is like to be volleyed with questions about where you come from in the first two minutes of a conversation with someone.

"And, thank you! Luna's lovely, too." She means it. It's a pretty name. "Anything you're really confused by? I'm from...well, okay, this world but a universe over and in the past, but I've been catching up ever since I got here."

"Especially candy." Luna cracked a tiny smile. "So much is confusing! But I'm simply trying to see this as an adventure, abet a stranger than usual one. Taking classes is helping though." she was honest with Gaila.

"Classes help a lot," she says, honestly. "Probably better with other people in the same boat, though."

She did it mostly on her own, which is a big reason why so far, she's not doing any more.

"An adventure's a great way to look at it. Hard, though," she adds.

She didn't have to add it, but it's almost an offer. If Luna wants.

If Gaila gets anything outside computers, it's how life can go up and down.
