She was enjoying her food when Oreste mentioned putting it into rations. With her mouth still full, she bobbed her head in agreement and managed an "absolutely!" For the moment, thoughts of war and death were back burnered to the cuisine. When she swallowed her food, she said to him, "Crayterians certainly know how to live in such hostile times. I mean, the food, the planet, all of it."
As she enjoyed the food and Yuma itself, she thought of growing up back on Stuttgart. The rich, fertile fields and forests on a planet that no one had to modify to work the soil.
"Have you ever been to Stuttgart?" she asked. "It's truly a place of beauty. Rich soil and thick forests." She then sighed, "Been too long since I've been there."
