Ghubari smiled more deeply. “Sure, why not. When you come back I’ll have things re-set.”
After Luka stepped out, the captain called for the program to restart, but the house still was there. Instead, Ghubari stood outside of it, and the sun reflected off the white washed walls, Rectangular in shape, it was fairly nondescript and there was little to it besides the garden plot to the side. Lining the dirt road that led through this part of the village were similar white washed houses. Bicycles leaned against the sides in the shade here and there, and larger growing plots were grouped together every few houses adding to the community’s food production. Filling in the spaces between homes were the small trees, bushes and dry grasses
There wasn’t much to speak of in the village itself, aside from a larger community hall and clinic, and beyond its ambiguous limits, the Makonde Plateau stretched in all directions, the warm red soil revealed on the unpaved roads and where the vegetation was more sparse.
Moving barefoot, she simply meandered slowly under the hot sun, her growing halo of wooly black hair covered by a head scarf that matched the purple and black patterned skirt wrapped around her hips.

Soon enough, Luka returned. In her hand she held a lead, and on the other end of the lead was the Borkin. About the size of a cat, Mukin looked for all the world like a winged rabbit with abnormally long legs.
Mukin looked up at Ghubari, then tugged on the leash, his little fluffy tail wiggling back and forth.
Luka smiled slightly. “Captain, this is Mukin. Mukin, sit.”
Immediately the animal stopped pulling and sat down on his bum, looking back at Luka for a moment.

Ghubari gave a smile as she approached slowly. Crouching, she held out a hand, allowing the creature to take in her scent and dictate the terms of their exchange. “Well hello Mukin,” she said, before looking up at Luka. “How has Mukin been adjusting?”

“As well as myself,” Luka said with a chuckle, making sure the holodeck arch was closed before she stepped over to unclip the leash from Mukin’s harness. “Although, I will remind you we have only been aboard for a day or two,” she added.
Mukin leaped forward so that he was inches away from Ghubari and immediately started to eagerly sniff her hand, then lick it a bit - he seemed to be smelling the remnants of the scent of the food they had eaten earlier. His tongue was a bit rough, almost like that of a cat, and when he opened his mouth to pant a little, Ghubari would clearly see the tooth structure of a predator animal.
He was very friendly, though, and rubbed against her hand, making a sound not unlike the mew of a cat.
Luka, XO
