She hadn’t been too shocked by the surprised sound that escaped Tony as she explained in much more detail than normal. It was rare for her and though he might not know a lot about her or maybe even the other crew members, most knew by now that she kept most things to herself. Rae wasn’t sure why she was in such a form but it most likely had to do with loss. The smirk had had on his face was missed but the chuckling that followed was clear as day. It wasn’t as though she was trying to be cheerful or funny but the story of course could be viewed that way. Rae herself still found a little joy when remembering her roommates face during the event. It was the stifling of said laughter that made her bite her inner cheek slightly.

[i]’It seems I have made a mistake once more. Why are emotions so complex?’[/i] Rae thought as she noticed the awkward silence. She hadn’t meant to even make one in the first place and wasn’t sure where she went wrong but obviously she had. Why else would he have stopped laughing all of a sudden? Now there was only strange silence that had only been momentarily stopped by the Captain’s orders and her own question. The laughter hadn’t been for malicious intent and usually it meant a sign of joy or amusement so she didn’t know why he had stifled the sound so suddenly when she hadn’t indicated it bothered her. Had she? At least, whatever negative worries she had about Rendyl seemed to be fine as the other woman had nodded to her with a smile, that was a good sign.

Luirae was relieved to have the silence broken but the statement made her footing stutter slightly as an image of Anderson face slammed into her mind with a sound of a gun shot. The pace of her steps slowed a bit and her fingers curled gently into fist before relaxing once again. She looked to Tony, a soft smile on her lips and sadness reflecting quite clearly in her eyes as she spoke her next words without a hint of the emotions that were swirling inside her,[color=palegreen]”I highly doubt that will be the case. Raymond will already have to explain today’s events to the Committee and while some information will need to be shared among the crew...that can wait until we get some much deserved rest and when the orders from the Committee have been completed....no, I believe it will be more of a memorial or a way to express goodbye and remembrance to Anderson since probably no one else but us will. I have been on the Monroe since the beginning and criminal or not, we honor those that fight along side us.”[/color]

She took a deep calming breath and opened the doorway to the kitchen, glad that she could put her energy into a task like cooking since she was at her limits. Emotions were not her specialty and when they flared, it was hard to handle them. Luirae had hoped the raging attacks she had done through the hallways earlier had been enough but she had thought wrong. She felt exhausted, physically and emotionally. She just hoped that her assessment of meeting was correct because she could get through that for Anderson to show respect but if it was to go over today some more then Raymond had another thing coming. The doctor has no problems walking out on a meeting like that and she dared anyone to stop her today from doing so. 

With those thought pushed aside, she turned her attention to Rendyl.[color=palegreen]”There is not much I can make within a short time frame so I’ll give you an option from the two easiest choices. Do you want pasta or sandwiches? If you can think of another meal I can make in thirty minutes or less then I would be happy to attempt it for you.”[/color] asked her kindly. Whatever the choice may be, she might as well make enough for everyone and any leftovers could be eaten later.
