Nālani gives a small, tight smile: Archana is doing a fine job of raising you then, manners are important.Assana looks a bit shocked at the request, but complies.
You said that just like my mum says it! - It's odd. When I'm home I can't stand her fussing and now I miss her.
I think it likely she misses you more than you do her. You know where she is, which is probably the safest place anyone connected to this ship can be. We will free her when we free ourselves, Hai?
Assana and I will join you shortly. Her new deck will help greatly, I think."You're welcome, and thanks for helping clear the dishes. I'm going to go see about the computer," she looks at Pranit, "unless you want me to work on something else."
To Assana: See, a job to take your mind of your troubles. Work is what keeps us sane.quietly: I have a favour to ask of you first though.
Nālani makes coffee to bring to the Bridge.
