Nick shrugged. "More like my job makes me one," Nick said simply. "Otherwise I would probably have some lady waiting for me in the city." Nick was truthful. When he was just joining the Kingdom and working his way through the ranks, he spent much of his off time with one group of friend or another in the city. But the closer her got to the commander position, the less time he spent with them. He had even bothered to have a fling with someone on base, but once he was slated for promotion, even that had to come to an end. At the accusing look he was getting, Nick kind of hardened a bit. "Some people choose to pay in produce, and the further into a zone you are, the better the conditions," Nick said. "It isn't my fault your town did not choose to move somewhere closer where supplies are more readily available." He wasn't lying, and he knew the hardships some were facing within the various zones, but that would not stop him from benefiting from his position. Perhaps it was just his upbringing, but it was something you chose if you did not choose to improve your quality of life.<br/><br/>Nevertheless, Nick reached in and pulled out a packet of ground beef, setting it on the counter. "As for a feast, that will probably have to wait until dinner, unless you can change my mind," Nick said, turning around just in time to see Neda playing with the screen that had come out of the counter. He walked over and gently swatted her hand, stopping her from fiddling. A couple button presses later, and the screen was back to where Nick liked it. "If you choose to cook, then you can fiddle," Nick said firmly but politely. "I just like having something on while I am." Nick then turned back to the meat he had pulled out and removed the plastic that was covering it. "But you can go choose a movie if you want. If you haven't heard of it, just say the title and then 'info'. Probably wont finish it before we're done eating, but once we finish a quick roundabout, we can come back up. And I can think about cooking that feast."
