I haven't even seen a sarong since leaving Beta Colony..... It is nice. [complicated. but... one unexpected perk about this ship is that no one has any preconceptions about what it means to be Betan.]
Maple mead and groats? That sounds like the beginning of some arcane ritual. What's a groat when it's at home?
[a startled pause at that. he did? it's here? that's a good feeling, somehow. adds, after a moment....] My captain's insignia finally came through, too. We could have a costume party.
[wry, maybe, but. still.~]
...Miles, don't tell me you've never seen a sarong unwrapped. [yes, that was typed in exactly the tone of voice you think it was.] They're just long rectangles. It's all in the pattern and how you wear it. Think I could get away with going topless on this ship?
[it's a completely legitimate everyday Betan style!]
