“Hell, even species won’t determine things. I remember the first time I attended a Christmas celebration and people were surprised that I didn’t know about it because I was Human. But I didn’t grow up on Earth, or with any sort of religion, so holidays like that were a bit of a surprise,” Faye said, smirking at the memory. She liked the lights and decor. It was festive, but she still hated group socializing and that would never change. She could tolerate it for the sake of crew bonding or whatever crap was required, but she’d always hightail it out of there as soon as possible.

Marsihka leaned back and looked from Faye to Khabal. In some ways they couldn’t be more different.

“I can’t see as you would have had any use for personal or group holidays Mr. Khabal. Would that assumption be correct? Both of my lineages will not miss an opportunity to invent a holiday if you aske me. Got up in the morning when you’d rather have slept in? Let’s throw a party. Ascension of, oh, insert something interesting here? Bloodwine for everyone. Who knows, maybe they’re right.”

“Spiral Nomads don’t have holidays. We do recognize the need for down time and socialization among many of the others but the Quarm, themselves, usually only celebrate successful contracts and, provided we survive long enough, retirement.” Khabal explained.

“I can’t imagine a Quarm retiring but we know so little of your people that I’m certain it must happen. What does that look like?” she asked signaling for another drink.

  • Marishka

It was clear Marishka knew more about Khabal than most and Faye was content to just listen and learn. And she had ceased feeling weird about not drinking when others were. It was just an everyday part of her life now and she had no emotion attached to it, which for Faye was massive.
