Mon-El has posed:
    Mon-El was currently on the bridge, monitoring the controls and ensuring that nothing was happening that would affect the team. His eyes scan the systems, and he nods silently. It was tough being the Legion leader after all, and Lar took his responsibilities seriously. It was currently pretty quiet. Too quiet.

Mon-El sits in the captain's chair, his chin resting on his right knuckles, waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Violet (1272) has posed:
    "Hello, Lar." That's a soft voice, one that isn't heard all that often. It's Violet - Salu Digby. She's padded quietly onto the command deck, though of course Mon-el would have noticed with his super-hearing.
    She has a cup in her hand with a bright liquid in it. "I... I brought you some juice. I thought you... maybe you were thirsty?" and she offers the cup to him as she ends up beside the Legion leader.

Mon-El has posed:
    Mon-El looks over his shoulder as the new arrival moves onto the bridge. With a warm smile, Lar gets up, and bows slightly towards the young woman he sees before him. "Vi! It is good to see you!" His eyes sparkle with the warmth of his smile.

    Noticing the cup in her hand, and smiling as she offers him the juice, Lar nods, and accepts the gift. "Thank you. That was very thoughtful of you! I appreciate that." Lar takes a drink, and says, "Mmm. Nice. Yes, I am a bit thirsty. Monitor Duty can be a thirsty job." Lar turns back to the screens.

    "So, settling in? I haven't had a chance to chat with you yet, now that you are back with us. Everything going well?" Lar takes another drink and enjoys the flavour of the juice.

Violet (1272) has posed:
Violet tosses her head so her bangs are in her face as Lar stands and bows. "No, no... please. Pl... please sit down. You shouldn't bow..." but she has a touch of a pleased smile on her face. "I'm glad you liked it."

She tears her gaze away from Mon-el to look at the monitor board. "Is there anything happening? I... I could take the rest of your shift if you want. I don't mind."

Mon-El has posed:
    "Of course I did Vi. It was brought by you after all. I am sure you spent a lot of time deciding what to bring. It is delicious." Lar winks at her, and smiles, taking another drink.

    "Nope nothing happening so far. It's been quiet, strangely enough. Maybe it is because Lyle is in Sickbay, and Brainy is concerned. With those two out of trouble, things tend to settle down."

    Lar smiles and adds, "I appreciate the offer though, Vi, but that's okay. We all have our shifts. I don't mind finishing up. I'm glad you are here to keep me company though. It helps to pass the time with some interesting conversation."

Violet (1272) has posed:
    "...'m not sure I have... interesting things to say." Violet mutters, some of it too quiet for most people to hear. "Are you going to the amusement park with us?" she wonders to Mon-el. "You should take some R and R too, you know. It's not healthy to always sacrifice yourself for the rest of us, while we have fun." and she smiles a bit. "They have this interesting colorful goo on Earth, that they pour on fried triangle of corn dough. 'Nachos' I think they were called. The stuff is neon-yellow and looks disgusting but it tastes like salty cheese. I'm not sure it _is_ cheese, but it does a good job of pretending it is."

Mon-El has posed:
    Mon-El takes a moment, and finishes off the juice. Looking over at Vi, Lar smiles, shakes his head, and says, "Salu. Everything you say is interesting. You have a keen mind, and great observational abilities. I count on your sharpness and capabilities whenever we are in battle...or when we are simply chatting. After all, you are indespensible to the team...and to me."

    A small pause, as Mon-El nods and says, "I will try. An amusement park of 2025 might be interesting." Lar listens to the rest, as Vi admonishes him. Holding up both hands palm out in surrendur, Mon-El grins and says, "I know, I know. R&R sounds great."

    "Nachos...of course! I haven't had those in a thousand years!" Lar grins and says, "I will try and make it. It sounds...gooey." Mon-El grins. "You sell it well!"

Violet (1272) has posed:
Vi visibly shrinks as Lar compliments her, but only for a moment... then she's back to normal, though THAT'S none too tall in the first place. "They have a drink there too... I tried it when Luornu took me to the planet... a sparkling drink that tasted like sour citrus, not like grapes or grape wine at all. But... get this..." and she laughs quietly. "... they call it..." and she pauses for effect. "... grapefruit." She shrugs a shoulder. "The Earthers of this century have clever names for things."

Mon-El has posed:
    Mon-El smiles as Salu shrinks a bit, and then comes back to full size. Ah, ever the "shrinking violet". "Grapefruit." Lar chuckles. "I have had it! It is an insidious drink. It is sour, but after a few more sips, it grows on you. Of course." Mon-El chuckles. "Yes, the 21st century is a wondrous place my friend. Truly." Lar shakes his head, and adds, "I miss it sometimes. But here we are! Back again! It is a wondrous opportunity, that is for sure. I just hope we can get home."

Violet (1272) has posed:
"Maybe they need us here, right now?" Vi wonders. "Perhaps we're here for a reason? Hopefully we'll return and no time will have passed back home." That's a bit wistful. "I hope, anyway. It would be terrible if it were hundreds of years after we left."

Mon-El has posed:
    "You are probably right Vi." Mon-El regards her thoughtfully for a moment. "Things happen for a reason." He smiles and nods. "I am sure it will be easy to return to the time we left. They need us. Brainy and Lyle will figure it out I am sure." Mon-El puts down the cup and says, "We'll get home. In the meantime, we can learn from the past, adn enjoy all she has to offer. Right?" Mon-El smiles.
