The Great Escape

[The Sovereign]

As Eliza collapsed into the couch next to her, Sam started to play with the controls on the viewing lounges shutters. Taking a few moments to apply the settings she liked, she opened up only the shutters on the side that both her and Eliza were facing, preventing excess light from the other side from bleeding in and distorting the view. Satisfied, she turned back to Eliza, and giving her a questioning look began to speak. "Enma on the couch? Does that mean you and her are... you know... ANYWAYS, forget I asked. Baden Baden is the closest, but from there we can go straight to Curacao! Its right near home as well for me, and I know all of its best places to visit."

Reaching over to stroke the kittens head, she smiled at Eliza. "Oh I'm so glad you like him, I was worried you might be allergic or something, and then it would have been absolutely dreadful. What are you going to name him? We'll have to get him a scratching post, and a little bed, and those small little jerseys for when its cold. Although I suppose Yaren never gets cold does it. Regulated temperature and all. Oh you must tell me what its like serving with the Core! No wait, tell me about when you were an outcast, on the run and out numbered all the time, with only your ship to keep you going. I wish I had lived an exciting life, you are so lucky."
