Arla spent so much time working that sometimes she just needed an opportunity to get away from it all. To that end, she had booked herself a place on a cruise ship on Manaan and planned to spend the next several days just soaking in the sun.
She had awoken early and headed to the gym, still in her tight-fitting workout clothes when she arrived in the dining hall. As it turned out, she had waited just long enough so that everyone else was also eating breakfast, and the bustling cafeteria made it almost difficult to move. Eventually, she'd managed to get herself a nice breakfast scramble, but had to slide into a seat at a table so close to the table next to her that she was practically having breakfast with the guy next to her.
She popped out her EZPhone and set it on the table, happily munching at her food as she looked at the list of activities that were available on the ship that day.
She was accustomed to doing things alone - she lived virtually her whole life that way - but it was arguably all the more acutely underlined when she was here. It wasn't the comfort of her ship or the daily "routine" of her work, but a place of leisure and relaxation. She looked around at the families and groups of people that were here, and she wondered almost in passing if she would ever find another person. It seemed unlikely at this point, though the thought didn't particularly bother her on a deep level. If it was meant, it was meant.
She shrugged to herself and poured an excessive amount of hot sauce across her skillet as she turned her attention back to the daily schedule.
