"MMmmmm...the coffee in the mess never smells this good.  You may find me visiting a lot in the mornings knowing you have fresh coffee in your room."  Max joked as she sat, letting herself sink comfortably into the cushion.  "So, did you ask for this assignment, or did it come with your promotion?"
