A bit later a woman enters in. A bit inconspicuously. Though there are those who recognize her. A person, belonging to the fraternity that is Commonwealth, Ellie.
"Hmm... It has been a while since I've been in this place before.." Thinking quietly to herself.
She wasn't a person who would talk with others that much, which is the reason she went to sit a bit away from anyone else. Staring outside, into the infinite abyss of space. Ignoring whatever was going on around her.
It was calm. Atleast for a while
He discretly watches as Ellie enters the Dome an goes to a corner, sitting with her back to everyone, watching the stars... He only had encountered her a few times before in all this time, so he didn't recognize her at first. 'Cute kid' he tought.
His attention then got diverted to more pressing issues, as the chef was bringing his pizza...
"Ah! The smell!" He picked up the knife with his right hand, the fork with his left. He cut and eated a slice. "This pepperoni is very good, Sean!" He said with his mouth full of pizza. "I brought some more real meat pepperoni and salami from Canaria for you! It's on my ship's cargo bay. You can send someone to pick it up, the ramp is unlocked. They are a couple of wood boxes! One can't miss... Oh! And a box of Coalition vodka also, as you requested. The best on Sirius! That would be the red unmarked one." - he concluded, while devouring another pizza slice.
"So... What happened while I was away? I can see the bar is almost completely repaired, that was a good suprise! And what's that about a party I heard about? ... And where's Robert?" The pizza was already almost at half at this point...
It was truly mouth-watering to inhale the spicy flavour of the delicious pepperoni pizza Sean put on the table a few moments ago. He watched how Doria cut a slice and devoured it.
"So... What happened while I was away? I can see the bar is almost completely repaired, that was a good suprise!"said Tony with a smile. "And what's that about a party I heard about? ... And where's Robert?"The pizza was already almost at half at this point...
Sean was mesmerized by watching him eat.
"Yeah, the bar's repairs are nearly finished by now. About time, if you ask me. The snacks bar is pretty cool, too.", he said and took a look around.
"Party? Oh, that one! Well, we're gonna have a little new year party in here. Good thing you brought the vodka along, by the way. Guess that could come in handy." He made a little pause."No idea where Robert is though..."
Robert was skimming the surroundings in a manner suggesting patience manifested in the hyperbolic and metaphysical contraption of sand falling, bent by gravity, inside the glass entrails of what would be an hourglass.
He had other matters to attend to, matters which required a call of urgency, urgency that manifested with a great degree of subjectivity as those matters were neither pressing nor critical. They were trivial at most, but he wanted to address them with no hesitation. He wanted to discuss, and greet one of the newest members of the fraternity personally, inside the confines of Freeport 10.
He reckoned his current conversation partner, the Kusarian, as to be a little distracted, perhaps pressed by time as well, he thought. Or perhaps that contrived thought inside his mind was just an illusion, giving him a perfect alibi to part ways with him, for the moment.
" Monsieur, with great reluctance I must confess you the fact that I must bid you "Au Revoir" now " He said, approaching his conversation partner elegantly
" There are matters which require my attention, and unfortunately, the laws of time never functioned to my favour " he said, accompanying his words with a faint, encouraging smile.
" I am certain we can continue this discussion later, should we ever find ourselves in requirement of your exquisite services. But until then... Au revoir, monsieur "
He then thrusted his hand slowly and gallantly forward, inviting the kusarian for a hand shake only so that he could depart the next moment.
Making his way for the exist, he stumbled upon Sean and Tony.
" Sean " he whispered, not wanting to intrude their conversation or whatever activity they were caressing in an vulgar attitude.
" One moment, s'il vous plait? " he then inquired

"Speaking of the devil...", Sean grumbled upon Robert's sudden appearence.
"Oh, certainly, I wanted to talk to you aswell, about that-...umm...well...actually, nevermind."
He took a look at Tony and then at Robert again, still hypnotized by the pleasant smell of the pepperoni pizza, which almost had been completely ingested by Doria at this moment.
"How can I help you?", he asked Robert and narrowed his eyes expectantly.
" Do you happen to find yourself in the most exquisite possession of any kind of information pertaining the whereabouts of one of our members possessing an unremarkable, crude and tainted Bretonian blood who happens to answer inquiries only if they are preceded by the name of Jack Starr ? " Robert inquired, adopting a straight stance while positioning his hands behind his back, tilting his head a little sideways.
" I would like to have a word with him, thought that would be something I am most certain you wouldn't mind as you undoubtedly have no interest in how could my soon-to-be discussion affect Jack. Unless you have had him saved for... other purposes " he giggled

"Jack?", he repeated and one could tell that there was confusion in his voice. "Yeah, he ordered a shot some minutes ago and then went for a walk I guess. Should be still around here somewhere. He went this way I think.", Sean said and pointed towards a path which laid a bit remotely from the others.
"Say, what's wrong? Is everything alright?"
He was somewhat worried, for what ever reason. Perhaps it was just the usual paranoia, but now more present. The recent days have been proven difficult. It made him kind of sad, when he left Leeds. He was certain, he would never return to his old homeworld.
" There's nothing wrong, Sean. Nothing at all " he said, trying to ease Sean by accompanying his words with a smile.
" Just some... trivialities I would like to exchange with him, biensur "
A short motion was executed by his body as he turned towards the direction Sean pointed towards. Before he left though, there was just another query he would like to address to Sean:
" Do excuse me please, if I happen to be intrusive, Sean, but I would like to ask: How is your wife, these days? Is she well? " he asked with a warm tone

"Olivia? Well, we're kinda having a tough time at the moment. We left Leeds like a week ago or so and are currently staying on Holman Outpost. Luckily we made it out of there. We wanted to move here anyways, so I guess that now is the best time for that. She's kind of in a bad mood these days though. Her parents and a few of her friends are still back there. She's worried that they won't make it out. First, she didn't even wanted to leave the planet without them."
He shrugged and stared at a small creek a few steps away. He watched how the water stream flowed continuously and persistantly in one direction.
"We're...fine. I will get in touch with you in case we need something. If you don't mind, I'll continue my shift now. Thanks for asking though.", he said with a smirk on his face.
He finishes the pizza: "Man! That was good! Thanks Sean, that was awsome as usual!" He looks to Robert and says: "Oh! And Gran Canaria was nice, too! Thanks for asking, Robèrr..." He gives him his most fake smile.
He then rises up from the chair, and puts his hand on Robert's shoulder.
"Speaking of Canaria... There might be some trading opportunities for the Commonwealth, Robèrr. Some places are still reconstructing from last year bombardments, you know... Aaaaand, also..." he looks around "... there is a good market for personal armaments. Some villages and groups are prep'ing for another invasion of the planet, so they are stocking up. We can help Canaria and make a profit at the same time, what do you think my friend?"
He takes a case from his back pocket, picks one of his cigarettes from inside of it and lights it up. "Oh, man! After all that pizza I need this smoke to help my digestion! Come, Robèrr... Lets take a walk around the Dome and talk about this, shall we?"
