Roman didn’t notice her until nearly an hour later. She was playing with Nibbles and he smiled. “How long have you been there?” He asked as he started closing up his notes and cleaning up his area.

Rand glanced over at him briefly and back to the mouse. Lately it had become an issue to take her eyes off of Nibbles. The mouse was determined to either get out or just stay with Rand. She wasn’t sure which, and would try to climb. “Almost an hour.” She reached in and tried to pick Nibbles up, who was having none of that, so Rand, to Nibbles irritation, just slipped the sleeve off. At that point Nibbles was willing to let go of it and Rand was able to remove it while she distracted Nibbles with her favorite berries. She began cleaning up, jotting down her notes, and then washed her hands and arms, anywhere Nibbles touched. Rand didn’t want Pipkin or Nibbles getting each other sick because she was careless. “Making any progress?” she asked Roman as he cleaned up. He must have for as furiously as he’d been taking notes, or at least on the edge of progress.

“Sorry,” he apologized as he finished cleaning up and then went to her. “I’m studying one of the components that makes the goo lizard… gooey. One of the components of the acidic goo she coats herself in. But no, I haven’t made much progress on it yet.” He said. “Are you ready for dinner?” There was another good way to keep his mind off it, spending time with Rand.

“Don’t apologize, it’s okay.” Ever since Mr Wyvern had left, Rand knew that Roman was eager to move on to the next project with the animals. Being CSO and XO meant that he hadn’t gotten to get started right away on his own next project. So now that he had cleared his work load she wasn’t surprised to find him working late to get started on the next project. “I am, and Chef made cheesy potato soup today. I haven’t had it yet, but I’ve heard it’s amazing.”

Roman nodded, heading towards the galley with her. “The ship is lucky to have such a talented chef. Some of my previous assignments, the whole crew lost a few pounds avoiding the food.” He said. The galley was not completely empty but emptier than it would be at a more normal dinner time. “Let’s get our soup and then go back upstairs.” He didn’t feel like sitting with everyone else today.
