To plan to gnaw at the tree of truth..

[Nodoka Hanamura]

Nodoka looks to Seline. "I've tried it myself. some of the chefs are from the sushi restaurant on Concourse B. Their sushi is probably the best you can get in the Omicrons." she says to her. Honya proceeds to prepare her food, and finishes with one of the many traditional customs of Kusari. "Itadakimasu." she says before breaking apart her chopsticks and picking up one of the pieces of Sushi. Bride simply begins to dig in with Mark. Nodoka then turns to Birdie. "I'm glad you like it, Birdie. Didn't expect you to be the adventurous one when it comes to food." she says before digging into her own food. Alexei sits down and begins eating, eyeing Nerva. He turns his gaze to Hanamura. "Nodoka, tell me, how do you know this doctor? He taking care of you?" Nodoka shakes her head, "No. Nerva's a good friend of mine. We met on Gran Can." she says to him, looking to Alexei, and then to Nerva. "We met in a bar, he was curious about my old nanosuit, and I humored him. Been friends ever since. As for you, Alexei - He's a ex-Coalition civilian. Fled to Delta when his parents were killed at a young age. He's been here longer than I have." Nodoka says, speaking briefly of Alexei's past. "He's a trustworthy man, if anything - Hell, he's been maintaining the station for years." she continues before starting to eat the Yakisoba.
