Ran sat in a table near Jane's, toying around with a cold bowl of soup that had been sitting in front of her for the past twenty minutes. Like most days, she was feeling rather lethargic. Though, she continually glanced over at Jane, noting that she was most likely new to the train.

Should she greet her? ...For some reason, she felt compelled to. "...Hi."

[janeshepard]

She turns her eyes away from the window, and towards the voice across from her. The girl looks young, maybe high school age--maybe a little bit older.

"Hello," she replies, then realizing that she should offer more than just salutations, offers the girl her name: "Shepard. And you are?"

[spectaclebobber]

"Shepard? You don't look like a 'Shepard' to me." She glanced over her, taking some additional note of Shepard's uniform. It reminded me somewhat of that soldier woman she had teamed up with during the escort mission. "I take it you're new here."

[janeshepard]

Shepard has a difficulty hiding her amusement; the ends of her lips twinge up slightly at the girl's remark.

"Jane Shepard," she clarifies. "I just arrived on-board the train earlier today. I was briefed earlier about the situation, but I'm still unclear as to what's this train's purpose."

"Oh... hello." A woman approached Jane, wearing an awkward smile. She was walking by before stopping to take notice that something about them was similar.

"Looks like we have the same taste." It seemed she had a sandwich, as well. A silly coincidence, perhaps, but enough to start a conversation with someone new. That was something Rally had been looking forward to doing as of late.

"Hello," Shepard replies, lifting her sandwich slightly. "There's nothing as good as an old-fashioned sandwich. Feels like it's been ages since I last had one. Nothing like this back home onboard the Normandy."

[trans_remedy]

"Yes," Rally answered. "It's so simple, but it tastes pretty special at the same time." She takes a seat at the table, hoping this new person wouldn't mind.

"Onboard the Normandy? Does that mean you came here from a ship?"

[janeshepard]

If Jane disapproves, it doesn't show on her face. Judging from the clothes she's wearing, it might be prudent to offer some clarification.

"A space ship," she says. "Jane Shepard. I just arrived on-board earlier today."
