Have Fun, Gus!

[Roselle Lely]

Have Fun, Gus​

There was not much else to do than to accept that the girl wanted to keep her people's secrets. Roselle had sympathy for the sentiment and was quite content to wait and see how valuable before even considering trying to push for further information. It was always better to keep all parties as content as possible. A wrinkled smile would spread across her face, a product of many years of life "Very well then" she said pleasantly.

"You have quite the curious mind, don't you?" she commented as the girl walked over to the coffee machine. "It is a MX-39000 Master Series Coffee Brewer she said with a sigh. It is a ludicrous name for a coffee machine, but it does make some fine coffee" she explained whilst rising to her feet, slowly making her way towards the girl who just pressed a button right after mentioning it. The Senator threw a desperate glance towards the exit, wishing that her aide was there to take care of things immediately. Still, it wasn't her who would have to clean up the mess and she really didn't mind the smell of coffee. "Yes. But you're supposed to drink it."

Just a few moments after answering, Lely was about to choke on her own stupidity, realising that the young woman might actually try to drink it outright. Raising a cautionary finger, she spoke "Newly brewed coffee is very hot though. Drinking it outright can give you burns. You would need to find a container." she said, glancing at the glasses to give the girl a hint. With the witch standing between Roselle and the MX-39000 Master Series Coffee Brewer, she intended to raise an arm if Eithni ventured away to find another container.

"I am actually surprised how you could have a working society without coffee. It gives has quite the kick." the Senator joked

[Eithni Vala Stark]

Eithni looked down at the black liquid that slowly was coming out of this machine and when Roselle told her its name, she raised an eyebrow. "MX-39000 Mast~ what?" Asked Eithni a bit surprised by the long name, which the old woman also seem to think. Eithni kneeled down so her face was at the height of the area where the cup usually was placed when pouring office. However, since there wasn't a cup, the coffee just kind of splattered when it hit the harden plastic and then sloshed over the edge and dripping down at the floor.

"Drink it?" Repeated the witch with a questioning look at Roselle for then looking back at the black substance. Funnily enough, just as Roselle added the sentence that it would be hot, was Eithni just about to put her hands in under the coffee, but stopped. "Container?" Asked the girl and the hint completely went over her head as she started to look for something to hold this strange liquid called coffee.

While she didn't find a container, she did see the glass Roselle wanted her to take and just placed it under the pouring coffee and pulled the class back again as she looked down at the black liquid in her glass. "Why? That's just weird, who would restrict themself to one type liquid?" Asked Eithni really confused.

The young witch sniffed to the coffee in her drink and she quickly pulled her head back with a very wrinkled nose, twisted her face, "ew! ew, ew, ew, That smells horrible!" Said Eithni disgusted and placed the glass back on the table and took a step away. She looked at Roselle, "why would anyone drink that horrible taste?!" Asked the Nightsister both confused and horrid anyone who drink anything that smelled that bad.

With her head tilted slightly upward, Roselle said the name out loud again "A MX-39000 Master Series Coffee Brewer. But yes, by all means, call it a 'coffee machine' or something of the manner and people will know what you're talking about." a smirk appeared on her lips "In fact, more people will probably understand you then. Few of us bother learning the whole name of machines like this one."

The girl proceeded with her curious exploration, even putting a fright to the old Senator as it looked like she was well on her way to get burned. It was fortunate that it didn't happen. Nodding approvingly, the elder watched as Eithni found herself a container, a glass, to keep the liquid in. A chuckle escaped her as the young one questioned why anyone would drink their coffee black, quickly bringing her mind to the spoiled whelps on Coruscant. Naturally, Eithni didn't really come from the same place

"Listen, my child:

Tiredness is a lie, there is only coffee
Through coffee, I gain energy
Through energy, I gain productivity
Through productivity, I gain results
Through results my next term is secured
The caffeine shall bring me through."​

She said the words as if she was repeating a mantra, becoming more passionate by each line with a strong core-world accent. All words said with the utmost conviction as she stared into the little witch's eyes intently with slowly rising arms and hands curled into fists. A silence spread across the room as she was finished. Even the birds chirping outside the ship seemed to have paused their song for just a few moments. "Some prefer to add milk and sugar" she added rather casually, pointing to a small side table with various different additional ingredients.

When Roselle started to talk, saying that weird mantra and it caused the witch to tilt her head to the side, "you're weird" stated the girl simply, which made it a bit funny, coming from the odd girl. "When will we arrive at the next planet?" Asked Eithni out of the blue while levitating on the spot, so she could get to the very top shelves, just to satisfy her curiosity. When there wasn't anything of interest, she landed again on the floor and went on to the next area of the living room.

Being a curious creature by nature, Eithni started to fish out all manners of things hidden away in drawers and cupboards. "Do you have a family?" Asked Eithni while having her knees on a cabinets and her head hidden behind a cupboard door from where Roselle stood, unless she, of course, went over to stand behind the witch.

An eyebrow shot up as the girl claimed that she was weird. "Oh, no, sweet child. Once you commence your journey through the galaxy, you will find coffee to be one of the most common beverages. Especially when you have to stay awake to keep safe from beast in the jungles of Duxun!" she said with a scoff. When Eithni went to explore the ship further, the Senator took a cup and filled it with fresh coffee from the machine and then proceeded to add in milk and sugar and blended it all with a spoon. "Weak" she whispered for herself, somewhat disdainfully as she considered how little caffeine it contained compared to a normal cup.

"We will be there soon" she hollered whilst walking towards the girl with the cup. A solemn wave of grief washed over the as the girl mentioned family. Seeing the youthful spirit had made her miss her boy immensely. She stared blankly at the youngster for half a moment longer than she would have liked before recomposing herself. Her eyes gained a sparkle of determination as she perished the thought of her son, temporarily removing him from her mind. "Come now, we all do in some sense, don't we?" she said with a tone more soft than usual - but even this was quickly being adjusted as Roselle returned to normal "Have some coffee with milk and sugar. Make yourself feel at home." She said as the engines could be heard powering up for real.

"I think" she said and paused, seemingly tired. "I think I need some rest. I will be just down the hallway, dear." she said, before turning to leave the lounge. Naturally, Eithni could follow to the seated area. Soon enough, they'd be airborne, and then the shuttle was in space. The pilot's voice could soon be heard over the speaker "Hyperdrives are engaged. We will reach our destination in a few hours."
