Shok has arrived. Shok enters RP mode.
Ector is sitting with Miranda his wife drinking an alien substitute for tea, a close Chai-like analogy. He prepares the tea service with the 'cream' and 'honey'. He has finger sandwhiches made of unknown meats and cheeses already prepared.
Miranda smiles quietly as she watches Ector prepare the tea, hands folded on her lap. Every once in a while her gaze wanders, taking in things around them, but mostly she focuses on Ector, and just sits there without saying a word.
Shok wanders into the lounge either on break or day off before seeing the pair sitting there. He looks between the two "Not interuppting anything am I?"
Ikin arrives from Corridor B <MCV Alopex>. Ikin has arrived.
Ector sips his tea once it's prepared. He looks up at Shok and says, "No Sah. Just a spot of tea with the beloved wife ... speaking of which ..." He sets his tea down and stands and says, "May I introduce Miranda Allo the 129th Baroness of Deptford."
Shok gives a small smile and a nod to the woman extending a hand in the human greeting he's learned so well as a handshake "Quite a lengthy title. You can simply call me Magaigh Shok. Or even just Shok." The happy couple is seated at a table with some snacks and tea with Shok having just walked in and introduced himself.
Ikin heads on into the lounge and orders himself a form of highly caffienated soft drink before leaning neatly on one of the walls of the room. About this point, he finally actually notices the other folks in the room and raises one hand in a weak sort of wave.
Miranda lightly pats Ector's arm, then she extends her hand to Shok, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Shock. You can call me Miranda." Another smile forms, then she glances up at Ector, "Is the tea ready, darling?"
Ector nods and gestures to Miranda's cup. He says, "It's more Chai-like and spicy than a propper tea but with cream and honey it's suitable. It's the best we could get without paying tremendously steep prices beloved."
Shok nods at this and eyes the meat they have laying out asking Ector "Would you care at all If I were to have a bit of that?" He tilts his head towards said meat and adds "I don't have any change for the vending machine right now."
Ikin takes a drink from the can of I-don't-care-to-come-up-with-a-name-for-it, mostly by tilting his head up and pouring it into his open beak before fishing through his vest pocket and coming up with a bit of change, which he holds out to the Magaigh.
Miranda listens to Ector, then hums as she reaches out to pick up her cup. Then a quick little sip is taken, and she considers it for a moment, "Hmm. Not bad, really." She smiles at Ector, then glances up at Shok, but lets Ector answer.
Ector nods to Shok and says, "Feel free. We have extra sandwhiches. They are somewhat small though." Ector points for Miranda, "That feathered fellow over there is Ikin ... Everyone calls him "nerdbird" but I think he's a bloody genius and one of the first and finest people I've met here."
Ikin puts his change back in his vest pocket and tilts his head a bit, "Uh... Thank you... But I'm not all that uh... Yeah." the bird says, looking quite a bit flustered, "Uh... Yeah, some research. Hoping I can get the professor before too long so I can have some help in it."
Miranda tilts her head, gaze flicking toward Ikin, and she flashes him a smile while nodding politely, "It's nice to meet you." Then she simply glances between the three, while sipping at her tea, relaxing.
