When Eric mentioned the captain being an intimidating person Katâ€™s mood faded slightly, feeling a slight wave of emotion hit her again as her thoughts threatened to head back to what happened once more. It had also made her feel uncomfortable, though she supposed she kind of set herself up for it with her little comment. She hoped that Eric had not noticed it, and if he did she would simply apologize later if he brought it up. However, fortunately she just managed to kick the thoughts out of her mind and just let it pass. She even managed to keep her smile so that the overall lightened mood that thankfully lingered despite wouldnâ€™t fade. She nodded when it was mentioned that there was a coffee place where they were supposed to work. The more she thought about it the more she really could use some coffee now and was almost regretting not thinking about it sooner. Why the hell was she so tired?<br/><br/>Well she figured it was probably, again, because of what happened and because she knew she still needed to take it easy.<br/><br/>For as long as she has been on this ship it wasnâ€™t too surprising to her when it was mentioned that the coffee was free. Kat made no hesitation telling the man behind the counter that she drank her coffee as strong and as dark as possible usually. The free coffee definitely made things better, especially since she realized she didnâ€™t have any money on her at the moment. If she was going to be cleaning all day she figured she didnâ€™t have any use for money and would just eat something small from her room if she was hungry later. At least that was until she decided, if he wanted to, she would grab a bite to eat with Eric later on like she had said. Kat did feel bad that he had paid for most of the food they ate but she decided the first time that she wasnâ€™t going to argue about it.<br/><br/>A smile of satisfaction came on her expression when she took a sip of the coffee; it was still nice and hot and definitely strong. â€œThis is some good coffee,â€ she said, keeping her slightly more energetic and cheerful tone to further show her satisfaction, â€œitâ€™s nice that itâ€™s free too.â€ Kat paused for a moment before her smile widened a bit, â€œIâ€™ve been told by some people that I turn into Medusa if I donâ€™t have my coffee when I need it.â€ That was actually quite true. Whenever she needed coffee and didnâ€™t have it she could be pretty edgy. Most people could tell when she hasnâ€™t had her coffee, or was in need of a caffeine fix, and left her alone for the most part. Which, speaking of alone, she did briefly wonder where the cyborgs had gone but didnâ€™t really put much thought into it. They were probably off doing whatever for the time being.<br/><br/>â€œIâ€™m glad they made the coffee strong this time,â€ Kat added just to keep the conversation rolling, and then shrugged slightly. â€œLast time I came for coffee it was weak as hell, almost watered down. Iâ€™ll bet someone said something about it and they fixed it. It usually depends on my mood but I dislike watered down coffee or when they put sugar or cream in it. And donâ€™t even get me started on how pissed it makes me when I order coffee and get decaf.â€ It actually surprised her that she was keeping the conversation going for this long. Unfortunately all good things come to an end and she knew they couldnâ€™t afford to waste any more time or else the captain would not be pleased. Not to mention she was probably starting to become a little annoying anyway, though she hoped Eric didnâ€™t think her to be annoyingâ€¦ and it was that thought that brought up another question.<br/><br/>Kat looked down at her coffee, as if she was searching for something in there, â€œEric, do you think Iâ€™m weird at all? Before we go off to work on our cleaning, I was just curious to know what you think is all since I honestly donâ€™t really think youâ€™re weird or anything.â€ There was another pause, then a smile when she looked up at him again, â€œThough at first I was a bit worried.â€ It was probably a stupid question to ask right now, now that she thought of it, but she couldnâ€™t really remember if she had asked or if anything like this had been mentioned. And just because they got along didnâ€™t mean that he wouldnâ€™t think she was weird. She was just curious, as she said, though if anyone were to ask why the question came up she really couldnâ€™t give an answer. Maybe it was because a few of her previous partners thought she was, who knew, but the question was out there and she just wanted to know what he thought of her.
