Vetra's getting restless. She's never been in one place so long before. She's used to moving around, taking different jobs that bring her everywhere. Even on the Tempest, she'd been constantly going on missions with Ryder and someone else. This is . . . awkward. She feels trapped.

She goes for a run to see if that helps, and ends up just feeling a little more panicky than she had before. So she starts sparring with an invisible partner, trying out familiar moves and moves that might work against people of different sizes. She's panting by the time she's worn out, and she walks back to her apartment slowly, hands shaking slightly.

She misses Sid. She misses Ryder. She even misses Kosta.

Bull followed after her, careful as he moved through doors. He hated these narrow doorways; at least now he remembered to turn his head. Most of the time.

He'd gotten a little stuck once.

"Darrow has a way of making you deal with personal things."

"Oh, great," she says with a little sigh. She glances back at him. "Want anything to drink?" she asks. "I've got . . . well . . . water from the tap is probably the only thing I have that you can drink."

"Water is fine. Part of me is tempted to drink whatever it is you do. If I can handle maraas-lok, I can handle a lot of things." But he also understood a considerable amount of their anatomy was different; it was entirely possible that things Vetra drank could kill him, rot him from the inside out.

"If you're gonna, I'm not gonna drive you to the hospital," she says, but she's joking. She doesn't know enough about Bull's anatomy to judge whether it'll actually hurt him, and she's not a scientist, so she's not going to try.

She pours him a glass of water and pulls out something bottled that she can drink for herself.

"So, you're pretty good at reading people, huh?"
