While the others were enjoying their wine at a modest pace, Shiva held her glass at her lap. She wanted to pace herself rather than risk getting to eager. She didn't know exactly how strong this wine was after all. She looked at the drink and and swirled it around momentarily while Shuo described how his downtime was. Shiva felt the need enough to add to it.

"Well, most of the squads I was in spent time with small gambling games where they could get away with it." Shiva didn't look up from her glass. She didn't seem terribly attached to the memories she was recounting. "I never joined in. Even if they would let me play, I wasn't meant to be doing that sort of thing. I mostly studied. It was within my rights to have access to academic medical material in my role, so that's all I really did. I probably wouldn't know nearly enough about the anatomy of other races if I didn't have so much time to learn."

Shiva glanced up and realised that she should probably look more jovial in a celebration such as this. She raised a small smile and looked around at everyone before bringing her drink to her mouth for another sip. "I know what you're thinking; we're really boring. All the exciting stuff in leave happens with people without marks...or, you know..." Shiva gestured to Shuo, "...people on call all the time, or something. What about the Rothian military? What do you get to do?"
