[center][h3][color=92278f]Beth[/color][/h3][/center] The announcement brought Beth out of her thoughts. Dinner sounded like a good idea - [i]gorram it[/i]. She pressed a few buttons and a video feed of her cousin popped up. [color=92278f]"Hey sorry, I won't make it for dinner tonight. I'll try for tomorrow though okay."[/color] "Sure come by the shop early, I'd like your advice on some stuff." Beth nodded, switched off the wave and went down to eat. The atmosphere of the room was even more uncomfortable then it had been. What had she missed? Jinxy wasn't looking up from her plate, and no one else looked too pleased. Not that anyone of them every carried a bright smile, this was downright depressing. Beth was tempted to make a joke along the lines of 'okay who died', but the joke never made it out of her mouth as she remembered the space sickness in the cargo-bay. Yeah okay that was not the joke to make. Beth took her seat. Jinxy's announcement did not help her own mood. She hated being stuck planet-side, but it did mean she should be able to have dinner with her cousin the next day. [color=92278f]"Well on that note then, I request leave for tomorrow afternoon and evening to visit my cousin."[/color]
