Olivia nodded her agreement and appreciation for Nicole's remarks. She inspected the plate of ribs before her, not entirely certain how to go at it. Raising her eyes to Nicole's plate, she observed her for a moment, before shrugging to herself and picking a bone up with her fingers. The meat peeled off easily and, drenched in a thick sauce, tasted delicious. The mercenary couldn't help but let out a satisfied moan, her expectations of the dish far exceeded. Her usual pilot's rations and the easy-cook meals she usually relied on tasted like ash and dust by comparison.
Enjoying the food, the mercenary tried to think back to the last time she had simply hung out and relaxed with someone. It had to have been months, before she left Liberty and got lost. And before that... She wasn't sure. It had been years since she had allowed herself to make close acquaintances, much less friends. Most of her time prior to settling in Liberty had been spent in solitude, whenever possible.
Finding herself in an unusually good mood, she glanced over to the younger Prower sister and smiled.
