Gurjan wasn't intent on really continueing the conversation, so he silently continued eating after the Isorlai's remark. Thankfully, the annoncement of hyperspace interrupted them before things got awkward like this. Gurjan stood up while shoveling the last of his light meal inside, he deposited the platter back on the counter on the way out. He had tried not to eat too much in case his stomach decided not to agree with the coming warp jump again. Had he taken his pills against that earlier today? He could remember saying something about it to his roommate... Had he ever actually taken a dosage?... Too late for it now though, according to the label it took at least half an hour for them to have any real effect. He arrived in the commons room at about the same moment as nick and wisely took a seat closest to the bathrooms.

As he had feared, he had indeed forgotten his pills. He felt it behind his eyes the moment the jump started. The vivid nightmare that danced before his eyes, his sense of direction going all over the place in directions that shouldn't even exist. It was soon over luckily, and the Isorlai had just a moment to come to his senses. Just long enough to have the nausea set in. He held back long enough to stagger to a cubicle...

Gurjan awakened by a sharp tone the following morning. He quickly flipped ope his toggle and silenced the alarm. He took a brief glance at his roommate's bunk to see whether he had inadvertedly woken him up as well. Out of consideration for the aranok's own sleeping pattern, he had set his alarm to a tone that was audible only to isorlai ears.

He wormed his way out of bed and started fumbling around with clothes, his fur still had some stains left from yesterday that he hadn't managed to wash out in the short shower he allowed himself. Covering them up with darker colors of clothing would have to do for now.

He walked into the commons room. In a subdued fashion, as to not draw too much more attention to himself. He silently greeted the commander with a quick salute and poured out a cup of water. The jump exit was approaching, and he was not going to let himself be taken by surprise like that in the same jump.
