That's Crystal Flowerwing, she thought, blearily, the call waking her up after a very late night of dancing and emotional purging. But then again, Captain Maxson is still unenlightened, so...Verity had patience. Especially since he seemed to be reaching out to her. Maybe, Verity thought, he has seen the light.

Even though she has doubts that Logic and Reason and Thinking can lead to enlightenment. But it was a start.

So she rolled over, flipping the All Natural Eco-Friendly Hemp blanket off her legs, and answered her comm.

"Captain Max! How wonderful to hear! How can I hellp you ?"

Guh. That was just unnerving. Well, not like he hadn't kept himself in line in the face of more disturbing things than that.

"Kang's mentioned to me that you had some recommendations about his diet. It got me thinking."

Mostly 'dear God, they really got their claws into her brain', but thinking is thinking regardless of topic.

"I don't suppose there's any chance you could have a look at my current kitchen and pantry setup and recommend a few changes?"

Well, she hoped it had gotten KANG thinking as well. About his awful meat-eating ways. Still, they did live together, and converting Captain Max to Holistic Eating was sure to have some pull with Kang....

"Venison! He eats BAMBI!" She almost cried. Poor Bambi. Lost his mother and everything.

Verity scrambled up, and began digging through her bag. Yes! Her book on Feng Shui!

"I'd be glad to! I'll bring some sweetgrass and some smoky quartz, too, for an entire cleansing of the area. You know, where Kang probably cooks his died-in-pain." If he cooked it at all. Ick. SO unenlightened! This was both a crisis and an opportunity. "On my way!"

"... sure, you do that," Roger said. Remembering some of the comments he'd heard he added, "I've got plenty of sage leaves here if you need them."

They'd been meant for the stuffing. Well, one of the stuffings. He'd just bought more sage than he'd intended.

"I'm at the hostel. It's easier than working in the apartment kitchen."
