Downtime

Virginia nodded gratefully and set the bottle of alcohol on the kitchen counter before turning back to the seated Morreti, "These things will be here only temporarily until Roanoke is fixed... hopefully it will start soon.", she sighed as she walked over to the coffee table where she closed her own laptop shut. Her blue gaze and attitude marked a great deal of mental fatigue and though she was doing her best, her posture was not quite as proud as it used to be - there was a certain dejection evident in it.

She was about to sit down on the sofa before she gestured with her left hand to wait and went into the bedroom. There was a sound from the bedroom as she opened a drawer and came back into the living room with a credit chip, which she placed in front of Morreti and quietly added, "Twenty thousand credits for my... pure liquid medicine, y'know.", she added in as neutral a tone as she could, not wanting to sound humiliated even though she felt that way. She said the word 'medicine' with obvious disgust in her voice.
