Lizzy smiled as the coffee was ready too, she brought a tray with two cups of black coffee. Lizzy was naked, she put the tray down, then slid into the large tub with Izzy and gave her big kiss as they relax and drink coffee in a Burian bubble bath, what a shore leave. " I am here Izzy did you miss me." She said after she slid into the tub.

 Lizzy had no plans, she knew Sam had the meeting at 11, it was still early. Lizzy then said," I think they are serving breakfast in the Hall Sam said, do you want to go or see if they will bring some up and we can relax in the bubble bath till Sam is out of her meeting at least.

Henry took a knee to make a fuss of the excited dog.

"Come on, where's everyone else?"

Mila led him to the table and he was reunited with Can, who proudly showed him the game he had one.

"Excellent work. Now, where's this bacon Mila is telling me about?"

Izzy would watch as a naked Lizzy walked into the bathroom and set down a tray with two cups of coffee beside the bath before slipping into the water, with Izzy pulling her in close as they kissed ”hmm I certainly did” she murmured as she held Lizzy close and nuzzled the side of her neck, chuckling throatily at the question of breakfast ”hmm room service definitely, I don’t want you getting dressed just yet” she whispered playfully nipping the lobe of Lizzy’s ear. The way she saw it this was like an early honeymoon and she wanted to make the most of it, after all it wasn’t every shore leave they got a VIP suite in a palace to themselves with no training or duties to pull them away.

She would kiss Lizzy a few more times before repositioning herself slightly so they could retrieve their coffee and drink it within the bath, enjoying the unique flavour of the Burian blend ”so…Maddy knows how to party…were we thinking of asking her to be a bridesmaid?” Izzy asked deciding that she wanted her and NA-CE at the wedding as guests at the very least.

 Andruss  was more then suprised, and a bit , happy, if not  embarrassed  by his  first attempt.

 Well..Lets go find our rooms?, then we can meet  in the morning     for   the morning meal?

   Shadow  was  near the  SM and Dusk..Shade was a  table over with Maria and Scarlet. He could see the Buffet-ish  area  where the foods were  sorted out, as  workers replenished them

    Shadow  saw the boys  turn their attention to henry and Val as they sat  down  and began to eat.

 Shadow  smiled a Bit. and asked Dusk,well... the Boys  slept  on a pile of tents  with blankets.  I  did about the same near the static field.. Largs all over the  place..Mila  with the Boys  and a  dozing  Nuska  next to me and Larry. What did you guys  do?

   Dusk   said  as she  at  some bacon, dipped in the dippy egg.we came back and  had  some late food  and  then some drink and then i fell asleep  on Roy..

 Shadow had a  fork full of eggs half way to his   mouth, his eyes shifted from Roy to Dusk.ahh..well?  I mean..that..um.. as good a way....to um..spend  shore leave...

Roy snorted softly at Dusk's explanation of their activity after they'd left Shadow and the boys at the Big Ugly...then snorted more audibly at the look Shadow gave him.  "You know me, Shadow...the only time I carry on an exciting conversation is when I'm giving orders or breathing fire at some slack-a...er recruit or transfer.  The view of the night sky from the palace balconies is pretty relaxing, even by my standards."  He wasn't going to embarrass Dusk by making a fuss about denying anything had happened...but he also wasn't going to let Shadow wonder what his daughter had been up to.

"As for plans...I never plan my shoreleave.  I may--occasionally--have specific errands that I need to take care of sometime during shoreleave, but there have been way too many times where some unexpected task was shoved my direction.  I don't fly, but if I did, I would definitely be a seat-of-the-pants kind of flyer."  He grinned at Shadow.

"That said, if nobody has any specific need for me to handle something prior to recall, I'd be happy to fly out to the village with you."

   There was a bit of a chuckle, well? we'll see what happens  after the   meeting thing.  I'll get Sam, or  'The Third' to make sure  we have  a shuttle. Of Course that all goes away if  The Admniral looked under a Rock and  want's us to clean something  up.

 I would like to see that Village again. Last time i I was there, we had the  survival run. They are very nice  people. Dusk  added.

 The whole planet is  'nice people'. You have to search long and hard to find a pure blood Burian that joined the EDT. If anyone    'green' is  with the bad guys, they are  a transplant, or  half Burian from some off world  Race.

 Lyri came over, looking in a pretty good  mood.She was dressed as Roy, and, though she looked good, one could tell she rather be dressed in off duty uniform, or even Civies.

  Last Night  went  well   4 fights  at the FAire... 7 at the  Airfield  and 20 something in the City? almost all involved  intersectional  rivalries  " Fling Fur"  and 'Scratch" had  most fights, vying  for whose  ship was the best..all that kinda  thing.. Inter-fleet fights popped up all over, the other threes section  reported  the same...Burians  are pretty stoic? they let us handle all the punishments... most  fights that were broken up by and officer  or Non-Com , were just forgot  about... any that the Burian Shore Patrol  broke up...we sent the   parties to the Hermes...anyway?  so far so good... see you at the Meetings...

 she  continued down saying hi to others at tables Captain Si motioned for her  to come by their  table, where, she , more or less   gave the same  recap.

  Beth  came over  with her Tray and sat down.Well?  Did you know you could get inn trouble for Punching a guy out?

  Don't you work in SEC?

 yeah yeah, But if he  grabs your ass, and you punch him out, I thought it was a Thing?  You Know.. break his  nose...'casue  they don't  thing  some Little chick  will..well? break thier nose? beth sipped her  Coffee..

Dusk sighed..I have   broken  some noses.. They seem to think  we will not  break those noses?..you would wonder  why?..Father? did you ever  get you nose Broken, for  ass Grabbing?.

  Beth almost choked on her   coffee. and giggled  as she  tried to wipe the   stuff off her  lips.

  I have been slapped   alot over  my years.. Never  been  punched in the nose though for 'stray grabbing'  though.

 Beth   patted    Shadow's  arm,...Your  Father seems to be a  dense at times. Most times he is  slapped , its because he didn't Grab someone!

 Beth   laughed this  time at the Look on Dusk and Shadow's  face... Shadow  giving he at intolerant stare, and Dusk looking between her  and Roy  in confusion...

 I need to understand this more? There are  times to break a nose , for not being grabbed..? Dusk asked, perplexed.

 Shadow  hung his head  and gave it a shake..  Beth  started laughing harder.

The pair of them would lay on the couch and kiss for a while, with Tarja enjoying the feel of his fingers in her hair, before a smiling Andruss pulled away from her and suggested they go to their rooms and meet up for breakfast next morning. Tarja for her part would smile and nod, sitting up on the couch to rearrange her blouse and finish her drink in a single mouthful ”Ok let’s go” she said getting up and offering her hand to him.

After walking the corridors they would find her room first with her using the keycard to open the door before turning back to Andruss “Thank you for taking me out Andruss, I had a lot of fun tonight” she said with a twinkle in her eye saying she wasn’t just talking about the fair. It was then that she would lean in to give him another kiss before stepping back into her room with a smile. Part of her wanting to pull him into the room with her and spend the night with him, but he was a sweet guy and she didn’t want to rush him. Instead she would give him a finger wave as she said goodnight and promised to meet him for breakfast and closed the door.

After getting undressed and taking care of a few things she had climbed into the surprisingly large bunk and gone to sleep where apart from the usual nightmares that caused her to wake up screaming and reaching for a gun that wasn’t there she would have a good night.

Awakening a little later than usual Tarja would climb out of bed, take off the man’s T-shirt she usually slept in and took a long shower, taking the extra time afforded to her by shore leave to savour the warm water and scented soaps and shampoos provided before drying herself off and getting dressed. With her opting for a black Nightwish T-shirt with a rose on it, a pair of blue jeans, a flannel shirt and walking boots. She had been just about to to put her hair up into it’s usual bun only to let it drop loose, suspecting that Andruss would prefer it that way, although the idea changing how she looked for a man did make her feel a little embarrassed.

Fully dressed and with her day bag packed and ready to return to the Hermes, Tarja would head for the breakfast hall to get something to eat and more importantly to meet Andruss.

 Lizzy was enjoying herself relaxing in the wonderful tub. " Yes Madison can party if she is not careful she could get out of control, I bet she isnt even back yet. I hope she doesnt come back too drunk Burians really hate behavior unbecoming an Officer, Sam might get in trouble, hopefully Madison is smart about her partying.

 Lizzy giggled at Izzy when she said room service, Lizzy grabbed her Comm and handed it to her," Your idea you get to order." Lizzy giggled then nibbled on Izzy's neck and ear as she went to call for room service.

 Sam seemed deep in thought, she didnt see too many others in dress uniform, she wondered what was going on. Sam decided hopefully it was good and she couldn't do anything about it anyway so just go with it for now.

 She finished her meal and then took a few minutes to look at the Hermes people and others enjoying her HOMELAND'S hospitality. It really felt good for Sam to finally have a place she could call a real home and the Burians were amazing.

 When she was finished she took care of her trash and tray. Sam then headed for the conference to get set up for the meeting and do her job unless it wasnt her job anymore.

------->>>> To BURA Mission (for meeting)

 NA-CE took a seat not to far from the LC, SM, Dusk and Shade. She was new so she sat, ate but she listened not to ease drop but to gather information on her new crew.

Doing her best to suppress the giggling as Lizzy nibbled her neck Izzy would dial the number for the palace kitchens in order to get some breakfast sent up to them ”Hi, yeah we’d like to order some room service please, we’re in the Princess Suite…yes, we’re Lt Robertson’s friends…Breakfast for two would be lovely, thank you…yes twenty minutes will be fine, ok goodbye” Izzy cheerfully spoke in between giggles before hanging up the call and kissing Lizzy ”Breakfast will be up in around twenty minutes babe…hmm whatever will we do in that time?”

 Lizzy smiled as she kissed Izzy while she was on the phone, when she was off. Lizzy responded," Awesome breakfast for to sounds good, now this is the life. Hmm what will we do for 20 minutes."

 Lizzy then made sure Izzy wasnt drinking coffee, then gave her a tickle attack and Lizzy and Izzy have fun for about 15 to 20 minutes. Lizzy saw the time and knew how punctual the Burians where, she gave Izzy a kiss, then climbed out of the tub hitting Izzy with some softer body parts.

 Lizzy dried off some then threw on a gorgeous robe they supplied, and headed for the door. Just as she got there the bell rank and it was room service.

 Lizzy went and got a 20 cred chip slid it into the Burians hand and said," Thank you very much I got it from here."  Lizzy smiled and the nice Burian left with his tip.

 Lizzy then locked the door took of her robe, then picked up the tray. Lizzy walked into the bathroom naked with a fresh pot of coffee and their breakfast for two.

With the aroma of breakfast reaching her long before she arrived, Tarja would enter the breakfast hall and look about the room for any sign of Andruss. Although she wouldn't spot him, with her assuming that he hadn't arrived yet, she would see NA- CE sitting by herself once again with her deciding to walk over and say hello whilst she waited for Andruss "Hi NA-CE, how was your shore leave yesterday?" she asked the Angel woman, with her having not seen her since they're meeting on the rec dec the other day.

 Andruss   arrived    5 or so minutes  after  Tarja. he  stepped into the  Hall and  off to the side  as he looked to see if he could see her.

 he noticed her  talking to a new  Angel Woman, he   decided to wait until  she either finished, or sat  down by the Angel.

 Some people     grabbed  malls   meals and.or  coffee..other s, bigger  nmeals and drinks.. Some folks were already leaving

Roy rolled his eyes at both Beth and Shadow, once again taking up the role of interpreter for Dusk.  "There are certain...physical cues, that a Human woman, and females of many other races, for that matter, give when they wish to attract the attention of a specific male."  He grimaced slightly, and added, "Human males, at least, tend to be slow at picking up on those cues, and some women can be rather aggressive about presenting them.  If the cues aren't acknowledged and acted upon as desired, those women often interpret it as some kind of personal insult...and being inclined to aggressive presentations, they'll resort to hitting the man that isn't giving them the attention they were seeking."

He shook his head slightly, and continued, "I wouldn't worry about trying to understand it...more often than not, all it does is further confuse the man and make him even less likely to respond to any sort of future enticements...and the kinds of men who have favorable responses to getting slapped are usually the kind of men that you're better off avoiding in the first place."  He shot a sidelong glance at Beth as he explained, "But, some women are slow to recognize that, as well.  Human social interactions can be ridiculously convoluted...I'd recommend just sticking with a straight-forward approach.  People don't do it very often, but if it's what you're naturally inclined to, it's better because the kind of people who will react well to it are the kind of people that will create good mutual understanding.  Having people who are making you constantly second-guess yourself is a recipe for stress and frustration, and we already have enough of that thanks to the Empire and its allies."

 NA-CE smiled at Tarja and replied," Hello Tarja, good to see you. Mine was great spent the day with a group of wonderful ladies to the Festival. Then we went out dancing and drinking it was fun. How was your day, please you can have a seat."

When invited to sit, Tarja would take the seat opposite NA-CE before replying ”I was on date yesterday with nice boy from mech unit; Andruss, he took me out for dinner then we went to fair, it was lots of fun…I’m supposed to be meeting him for breakfast” she said looking to around once again to see if he had arrived yet.

Spotting him standing off to one side of the main doors, she would raise her arm over her head and wave to get his attention and get him to come over and join them. With Andruss hopefully coming over to join them Tarja would drop her voice as she spoke to NA-CE ”I am somewhat older than he is I think, but he is cute and acts like the gentleman so I will see where things are going” she explained, making it clear that the young man was her date from last night ”So you are meeting lady friends for breakfast, yes?” she then asked, with it looking the Angel woman had made better in roads on making friends than she currently had.

  Andruss   puts  a  hand  up  half  way  and waves   with a bit of a  Smile  and  Almost Runs  into  Captain Morris  , as the Captain was leaving..  he stood  at Attention, but the older , Black Man   just   smiled and gave him a  pat on the shoulder, and  continued  walking.

  Reaching the table Andruss  looked  embarrassed..gods!  I almost ran into the Adjutant !

 then he looked over to the  wall were people were coming , going or waiting as they selected  food.

 I think we're supposed to go pick our  foods out, they only have servants to clean up  ...i think?

.................

 Dusk  gave  Roy a  look ,  Shadow pretended  not to see it as  he seemed  to concentrate on on a bit of bacon...I think i will make sure to  remember those words....

Admiral Hennings  came  by with a  pate stacked with some kind  of  Greenish ham...and    scrambled  eggs..Just like the Book!


 Shadow  chuckled   and   Hennings  grinned.when we are in the meeting, the Subject of where  we are going next, is going to come up.  You Three, need to make your feelings known..its  doesn't matter  which side you're on... if you back the Admiral..good..if you have reservation, that's understandable and will show the APF we have
 free thinkers.  Try to get some down time, before we leave.

 eh went off  with his  Green eggs and Ham

 NA-CE smiled and was very happy Tarja joined her, she liked her and she was straight forward no nonsense. " That sounds very nice, and I believe that is him now."

 NA-CE chuckled nd replied," Every human here is younger than me by a few hundred years." NA-CE giggles then added," As long as he treats you well I dont have to kill him for hurting my friend we came aboard together." NA-CE laughs and smiled at Tarja.

 When Andruss came over she smiled and said," Yes it is what they call buffet style food I believe. It is very good and may I ask why is everyone seem to be making fun of the green eggs and green ham, is there something I am missing?"

 Andruss  smiled,n Very  Famous Author  wrote  kids  books. It was  his most  famous, i think...They even made a Vid Cartoon of it, you can search it  on you Vid screen on the ship..he had alot of others  too!..

 Do you like green eggs and ham?

I do not like them, Sam-I-am.
I do not like green eggs and ham!

Would you like them here or there?

I would not like them here or there.
I would not like them anywhere.

he looks  a bit embarrassed...um..there's alot  more  as 'Sam i am' tries to get th  gut to try the eggs..i ..sorta liked it  growing up...

.................

   Shadow    excused himself to see what  they had  for deserrt.. as he  walked   down the   aisle between the Tables , Flores  Stopped him..the stop was harsh...

 something   wrong?

Mara....  Frans   went in early,  Mara   , Eckles  and Brivet  kept  going?..Birvet and Eckles  got lucky,  leaving Mara  with the wingman...

 ...AND Shadow snarled...

  Flores looked over to where  Mara  sat with Eckles  and He-La.he roughed her   up a bit.. she 's ok?  he didn't..um..do anything, she got away..but she's  shook and He  Keeps  COMing her..he wants to see her  tonight.. and he  won't take no of  an answer, she is thinking about going back up to the ship,,

 Screw that... here.  take this plate, Get me something like a  pastry ?  and  a chococlate Milk...

 Flores  Smiles...you bet...

  Shadow moved  down   the Table... around the end   and  sat down with out Preamble, Looks  at   Mara...Tell me..now.

 Mara's  eyes  were red, we were   at a club, lots of people , and these guys come up and hit  on us..we turned alot  down, But Eck  and Brivet found  a guy to thier liking and left, i stayed  looking  for others  to dance  with  and the   one guy just wouldn't leave me alone...he had a  couple guys with him  we went out into the street and they  wanted   me to get in  a  Van, I went over the   top of the Hood  and  Ran... gods be damned  , i am soooo glad  for tunnel  runs..Shadow?   he keeps  COMing me... I am afraid they  are Kidnaping people...women?..They...they  weren't nice...

 Two things?..1st... next COM  tell him you meet him at the  airfield ,  where the   tree tunnel to , the town is....the 2nd thing? when its  finished...you go out and have a good time...

 all the women looked at  Shadow...LC?..They are Sanri Mercs... who work for  the  EMS...there are  at least 3...

 Shadow   got  up  and took the plate that Flores  was  bringing over..and?....  once  the Meeting takes  place  you and  whomever  comes with you go and have  fun... I'm pretty sure  it  won't  be a   Big thing...

 But , Shadow LC,  Three Sanri?

 flores sits  down putting pastries  for the  ladies out...Haven't you heard,  Shadow  slwa  7 with one stroke...

 Shadow  says  with a Laugh,Yeah?  Might need a bigger  fly swatter....

 he took a  bite of the pastry   as he    stopped at  the Table  and Talked  to Roles...His Admiral friend's  smile Vanished  as he heard the  story,  they shook  hands  as  Roles sat down shaking his head.

 ending his trip, Back at Roy..So.....SM... seems  to be  some   guys  tried to   tag Mara..whether it was for  fun, or Shanghai , i don't know..but they are EMS.... I  Talked to Roles, he said  anything we do is fine with him...there are three?....at least?.. so I was thinking.. maybe..before  we go see the Village.. we  might had a brief  talk  with them... we..um... will be   at the treeline  where the Largs play...

You can not  handle  3 mercenaires?

 He winced a bit....Did i mention they were Sanri?

With one hand tangled within Lizzy’s hair and the other wandering across her body as her beautiful redhead nibbled her ear in a highly enjoyable way, Izzy would curse Burian punctuality as there was a polite knock at the door and Lizzy, wearing a rather fetching robe, went to answer it. Whilst Lizzy was away, Izzy would lay back and enjoy the bath for a little longer as she ran through the things she wanted to try and find engagement ring, bridesmaid dresses, bouquet, maybe something for the wedding night…. before Lizzy, now out of her robe returned with their breakfast ”now this is service I could get used to…do you want to eat in here or shall we take it into the other room?” she asked with a smile as she admired Lizzy, unsure if eating in the bath would be a good idea.

 Lizzy gggled and replied," Oh no I was just showing what we got, you need to get your sexy cute ass out here and we can eat. Then we can rewarm the tub and have some more fun until the meeting is over then we need to go shopping my love."

 Lizzy then picked up the try now with their coffee cups and coffee pot and carried it away shaking her ass at Izzy as she went naked into the other room and sat naked at the table.

There was a bit of an embarrassed look at the mention of age with Tarja replying ”true…but it is little different for humans, I think” before chuckling as NA-CE promised to kill him if he misbehaved, Happy to have her in her corner.

Looking up as Andruss approached she would nod in understanding as he pointed out the buffet ”yes, I saw….I was saying hello to NA-CE, NA-CE this is Andruss, Andruss this is NA-CE, she is corpsman we came on Hermes together” she said making the introductions before NA-CE asked about the green eggs and ham, with Tarja chuckling as Andruss proceeded to quote Dr. Seuss ”Very good! Shall we get breakfast now? It smells very good” she then asked, getting up in order to go and join the queue.

 NA-CE smiled and replied to Andruss," Oh I understand now a little better, not used to your food being colorful, got it." NA-CE smiled she knew human culture was much different from Blue Moon Angel culture, human culture was interesting, chaotic and had a unique flare she rather enjoyed.

 NA-CE smiled and said," I will be here when you get back I might go up for ore as well."
