Doreen saw him standing next to her. She took her head off of her hands and folded them before her on the table, her drink sitting in front of them. She just gave a friendly smile at his request to join her.
"Please do," she answered, making a motion at the chair in front of her.
She then stirred her drink a bit and maintained a weak smile, "I owe you an apology. You know, for when I ran out?" She shook her head once in some disgust with herself and looked downward a bit and looked back at him with a straight face, "I didn't want anyone knowing that I have a baby at this point of my life and..."
She paused, a bit troubled, but smiled weakly again, "giving me that toy was the first nice thing someone has done for me in some time, well, besides the staff on ship helping me out."
Her smile brightened slightly, "it's just not something that I'm used to and it caught me off guard and well, I overreacted so for that, I'm sorry."
She then sat, leaning on her folded arms, enjoying the company of her new friend.
