[ Metis is a bit preoccupied walking around with their data pad in hand. Because clearly working while walking is efficient and smart! They do pause in the middle of the hall, a red glow of buffering flickering on their helm until they raise their head and a ! overtakes it. ]
Ah, Ms. Throné, good day. [ There's the sound of warm pleasantries and soft surprise in their tone. ] Doing some exploring? Or are you perhaps in the midst of helping one of the four with their tasks this week?

[ throné gets to find adrastea sitting in the titan's call, actually, one heel hooked in the bar stool's footrest while the other is down, turning them back and forth lazily while they work. they have their I.R.I.S. up and a datapad out, and appear to be regarding a blueprint of the currently accessible areas of the eudora when she comes in.
a soft whirr comes from their helmet, before they turn their head to look her way. ]
Come to get a drink?

[she startles just a little when she's addressed, but it's fine - she glances at them... up at them? down at them? anyway.]
Exploring. [she says, at first, smoothing her dress down.] ... Do I get anything for helping the others with their tasks?
[you get to be a good citizen, throné]

[she's bringing her brand new copy of hitchhiker's guide with her to this establishment! she's also not expecting to see one of the senior crew here for whatever reason, and she almost spins around and leaves before she realizes it's one of the ones she didn't talk to.
so that's acceptable apparently, because she moves over to sit down two barstools away.]
... There's not much else to do but read and drink.

[ a glance to the book, along with a tilt of their head, but they seem to accept this before looking back at their work. ]
Honestly, fair. Even when the ship is fully opened up, anyways, I still think this is the best place to have some downtime.
[ but adrastea finishes and closes what they're doing and taps the bar counter with a finger. a glass with ice and something amber materializes. ]
I don't think Thebe would mind if you wanted to change the music, either.

[ A glance at them is... almost at level, sure! ]
There's a bit of fun in getting to see new sights, isn't there? [ A blip of muted wistfulness. ] Get anything..?
Hmmm, other than the opportunity to get to know your Senior Crew and perhaps enjoy their company? [ A chuckle. ] No, there's no reward or anything for it. Though, if there is something you'd like, feel free to ask and we may be able to get it for you. Depending on what it may be, of course.

[she sets the book down... she likes reading! she doesn't get to a lot! it'll be nice to do.
she watches them order a drink, and then copies them - though she doesn't bother with the ice.]
Is Thebe in charge of the music usually? [there's a little buzz of something... wary? it's a blanket of something that's distrustful and guarded but... the way that a stray animal is. not unwilling, just defensive.] ... I don't know how to do it.

[she watches them, absently running her fingers over her collar. the emotion is a bratty sort of :nyeh: at enjoying the senior crew's company but it's not anything genuine, she really is just smad because it's all out of her control.]
If I asked you to get something, would you keep it a secret? [there's a wisp of a thought that's like not that I can take any of you at your word regardless that's just there and gone again.]

[ She is so valid. Even with the emotion, they continue their polite pleasantries as if unbothered by it. A mechanical hand curls beneath their helm for a brief moment before nodding. ]
A secret from the rest of the Junior Crew, certainly. Your business is your own. [ They politely ignore that thought, not pointing it out. ] Though it won't necessarily be a secret from the rest of the Senior Crew. Is that alright?

[ they reach over the counter to grab one of those thin, stirrer straws and stick it into the drink, bringing it up so they can take a drink through their helmet. don't ask how this works i don't want to logistic it out with the individual helmet designs. ]
We usually just let them handle whatever happens in the bar. They've got a talent for bartending, and usually none of us really mind what they curate music-wise. [ adrastea tilts their head, emotions smooth and calm and a little muted to balance. they keep their distance like a slightly more adjusted street animal. ] You can use your I.R.I.S.
[ a tap to their own wrist to bring it back up, before selecting the music player and syncing it to the titan's signal. then this starts to play. ]

[it's just hammerspace like the 7r hoods got it
she pauses when the music starts, just listening. it's so foreboding sounding, help. she doesn't seem to mind, though - the other day she was straight out just listening to a violin cover of hallelujah so.
she takes a drink, and then:]
Very mysterious. A touch intimidating. [this is a little bit of a joke, and it's very, very dry.]

Haha, don't worry I won't mention a word.
[ A gentle muted reassurance. Metis don't just laugh at a threat. They raise their arm to turn on their I.R.I.S, the screen flickering to life, and take a moment to type into it before nodding. ]
There we are. I should be able to get them sent to you privately tomorrow.

[honestly, funnily enough? the fact that they just laugh kind of makes her impression of them go up. it's kind of nice to not be seen as scary?]
... Thank you. [she has manners sometimes!
there's a little thought that's along the lines of this one isn't so bad.]

[ Aw, Throné... No, they seem to take it with ease. A mellowed-out calm and composure. ]
You're welcome. [ A blip of ^^ ] I'm glad to help where needed. If there's anything else, don't hesitate to ask.
[ They seem to pause before they gesture ahead with a feeling of curiosity. ] I was planning on stopping by the galley for something, would you care to join me? We can converse along the way, if there's anything you're curious to know.

[she hesitates, but only for a second.]
... Sure. [they're gonna be stuck here for eight weeks, she might as well. she absolutely will not walk ahead of them and in fact keeps it so that her back is never facing them, but she's happy to walk side by side.] I'm... not very good at this.
[like, talking to people with the intent of getting to know them]

[ It's muted but there's a blip of contentment and they begin to walk. They don't seem to mind leading, though if she keeps her pace matching their own they seem more pleased by that. Based on another flicker of ^^ ]
That's quite alright. We all need to start somewhere. I'm accustomed to doing a lot of talking so, if you would prefer to listen we can do just that.
[ It's a notable patience from them. ] Let's see... Ah, my genre preference in books happens to be fantasy. There is just something riveting about tales of adventures.

[she'll walk side by side! she seems to enjoy that more anyway.
she listens, but. the flow is natural enough that she feels like it's not a struggle to reply.]
Fantasy? [curiously...] I suppose I'm curious to know what counts as fantasy. Just adventures?
... Kazuki seemed surprised to know that monsters exist, where I've come from.

[ A light nod, their mechanical arm reaching to pull their jacket a little open to slide their data pad away with their other hand. ]
Adventures for the most part, having the opportunity to witness more of the world and what it has to offer. Fending off foes, visiting mysterious places... things along those lines are what more fantasy books tend to cover.
[ Their head tilts a little, emitting a thoughtful hum. ] Yes, there's quite a variety of worlds out in the galaxy so what may seem normal to you and I- monsters, in this case, would be quite new to other people.

[nodding, as she listens to that. it's a little funny, if only because it's... her life? that is her life.]
... I never thought I'd say this, but adventures are much more fun to experience, rather than read about. [absently, she adjusts the collar around her neck. and then, wryly:] I'm not allowed to ask where you came from, am I.

[ That gets a light laugh out of them. ]
Yes, I quite imagine they are. [ A sigh. ] Unfortunately, I'm far too busy to just go trekking out on a sudden grand adventure. [ Their head tilts a bit, a possible glance her way before they look ahead as the mess hall comes into view. ] Contract restricts us from going into too much detail, I'm afraid. Were it not for that, I would not mind. It's a rather beautiful place.
Though, would it be alright if I inquired about yours? Whatever it is you would feel comfortable sharing. If not, any place would do really.
