As usual, Avik had gotten something with a wide variety. At the center was a small bowl of cabbage stew topped with redspice for flavor. To the right was a small chef salad topped with tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, and other common earth vegetables. Left held a Targ ribs slow roasted over a fire then sliced into individual, handleable portions.

Casually she scattered the cabbage soup as she dipped her spoon in, stirring it lightly. She had just leaned down when Lucius interrupted her meal.

“It is comforting to see some things never change,” the counselor mused then bit into his ham sandwich.

She shook her head, then sipped some of her soup.

“Your answer to my earlier question about why you were visiting wasn’t satisfactory. I sense there’s more to it.”

“Sense or feel?” Lucius’ question caused Avik’s lips to frown briefly.

He placed his sandwich down to raise his hand defensively, “Apologizes. That was the wrong choice of words.”

“It was.”

Lucius sat there, studying her a moment. After it passed, he sighed then began to reach for his french fries.

“I thought your medical physician suggested you cut greasy food from your diet?” Avik aimed to change the subject as she continued to eat.

“Oh,” he said between bites, “She did. I figured you only live once and with the medical advancements, it’s only matter of time before cholesterol becomes obsolete.”

“That will likely be beyond your life time, Lucius.”

He shrugged. His hand reached for more fries to munch on with a cheeky smile.

“I could counter with the fact avoiding your emotions isn’t healthy either.”

“…”

An awkward moment passed as they ate in silence. Avik knew Lucius had metaphorically gotten under her skin, but she didn’t give him the satisfaction of knowing it. She was picking off the Targ meat when Lucius broke the silence. His hands wiped the grease from his hands and crumbled the napkin up, setting it to the tray’s side.

“Sorry, that was uncalled for. There’s no excuse for bring that up.”

“Humans are emotional compared to Vulcan, I believe your race would use the phrase ‘I deserved it’,” she managed to keep the condensing tone from her voice.

Lucius nodded, slowly. He was studying her a moment then continued.

“So, how have you been getting along with the crew?”

“Some are more compatible with my personality than others.”

Lucius frowned then glanced around, noting if there was anyone listening in. It didn’t appear so as he decided to risk the question on his lips.

“Anyone specific that isn’t?”

–XO, Avik, Lt. Cmdr
