After a while, a pleasant scent began distracting her as it caused her stomach to start growling.
When the hyperspace insertion was finally completed, Akane made her way back to the galley and nearly fell over again.
It brought back memories of Ranma cooking, for all the lack of a pigtail and the fact that Erinnica Tate (aka Red) was wearing light makeup.
"Figured you being Corellian, this'd make a nice gesture," said Red as she registered Akane's presence. "Only Corellian dish I know - most of 'em are too spicy for the typical palate, y'know."
Akane raised an eyebrow at that, since it was not a detail she'd seen in the briefing. Her stomach growled again.
Red laughed, an honest open laugh without a hint of cruelty in it. Again Akane was reminded of the redhaired girl she'd met on a rainy day in March and immediately decided to become friends with. Like that had lasted, mentally added Akane.
"I'm used to doing shipboard food, like I said I'm a cook and a gunner primarily. Worked a couple of the big commercial liners and a cruise ship, but I'm not into the 'extras' some people expect of the crew. So mainly I work with very limited supplies, stretching 'em out and trying to come up with new ways of fixing them and a wide variety of species with different tastes make sure ya gotta have a number of recipes."
Akane wondered why the emphasis on extras and what the girl meant. "Well, uhm, smells good. Whatever it is."
"Corellian zinfa stew," explained Red. "I specialize in stews and soups, they're easy to set on simmer if a fight breaks out - and with the number of ingredients you normally have dehydrated on board a ship - it's practical."
Akane wondered if maybe she should help, though clearly the new crewgirl had staked out the galley as her territory...
