 She finishes her coffee and turns to Shephard.

"Would you mind if Woola joins us?  He enjoys exploring almost as much as I do."

She sits up a bit, dragging a hand through her hair in a futile attempt to keep it from whipping around too wildly.

"Thank you for today, Adrian. It's more fun than I've had in a long time."

Her voice is quieter with the confession, as if the confession of it has taken her by surprise.

"Glad you enjoyed it, ma- Dejah."

Lifelong habit. What can you do.

"It ain't much fun bein' alone down there with the machines anyway. Folks who appreciate 'em ought to know about 'em, I figure."

She grips his side in silent acknowledgement. She does appreciate it, more than he knows.

"It isn't much fun being alone anywhere."

"'Round here you don't much have to be less'n you want to, for what that's worth," Shephard says. "It's useful that way."

We apologize to anyone who's enjoying the tranquility of the Milliways grounds. That Buell engine is going to be roaring out here for a while.
