Arashi purred when he was pet, and blinked when she excused herself. The moment she left the room he got up and stretched a moment before heading to see Skye.

Rivar nodded and followed Tanya into the kitchen. "You want to get the glasses out as I get the lemons prepped?" He asked, grabbing 8 lemons, intending to squeeze the juice of half of the lemons into the glasses and decorating them with slices from the last half. He looked at Tanya, thinking, "she's lucky she's pretty. I'm pretty sure that's what saved her from Skye being his worst. That and arashi seeing her beforehand..."

Rivar smiled and cut the lemons in half before squeezing one half over each glass that Tanya set out. When he was done he cut the left over lemon half into slices and put them on the rims of each glass as a garnish. He then filled the glasses with water and pushed them towards Tanya when he was done. "here. go ahead and send them out, i'm pretty sure Arashi has told the captain that lunch is ready by now, so the guys should be filing in by the time you're done putting the glasses down so you can be out of there before they're in there." He smiled softly, and realized why Arashi had questioned him earlier. He really was talking more than usual.

Rivar smiled and nodded, fully planning on not letting her help with the dishes. while she was busy putting the glasses on the dining table he made her a glass of lemonade. When she returned he smiled again and handed it to her as he passed by her on his way into the dining hall.

Skye picked up his food after everyone else had already settled down to eat. He looked at his men in slight disgust except for when his eyes met Rivar's. He gave Rivar a curt nod and went into the kitchen, silently, and sat on a chair he made out of water. He looked at Tanya and sid softly, "I get this vibe from you that you are nervous to mess up." He wanted to continue, feeling fairly certain that he was correct with interpreting the vibe he was getting, but knew that it would most likely going to be better if she talked it out.

((i'm sorry if this post isn't as good as my usual. I've been working for 13 hours now and i have 11 left to go.))

Tanya thanked Rivar for the lemonade and took a small sip before setting the glass down on the floor. Looking at her stew, she gently blew on it before taking a bite. It had turned out very good, her mother would be proud. For a moment, Tanya thought about her father. She didn't know his name, what he looked like, what he did....nothing. All she knew was that she had a father who was probably already dead. She wished to meet him but even if she did, she wouldn't know what to do or say to him. Why did he leave? she thought to herself. Tanya snapped out of her thoughts after hearing the captain speak. Looking at him, she raised an eyebrow. "Nervous to mess up?" she repeated and chuckled nervously. "What gives you that idea captain?" she asked curiously.

((It's perfectly fine, I understand. I've been mega busy with school so I don't get much free time.))

((My heart just broke. I had what i wanted written and the website didn't like my inactivity between writing half of it... it got lost.))

Skye smiled softly, "Well, i'm getting these vibes from you and usually i'm pretty good at understanding various vibes." He shrugged and continued, "That and arashi mentioned that you're being super careful with the dishes and food. So, i kinda used that information to decipher the vibes you're giving off." He made a face and tilted his head slightly. "I'm saying Vibes a lot... I'm Sorry, I'm not trying to be weird..." He sort of trailed off, hoping she didn't really notice how awkward he was being. He wasn't used to being able to try to relax and be friendly. He had come into the kitchen to try and befriend Tanya, But so far he felt he was just being awkward.

From the dining room, The sounds of an argument was starting to wisp their way to the kitchen. Skye didn't pay them any attention because he knew his men wouldn't physically fight because they respected Skye and his rules, But arguing was fair game.

((Oh no! I hate when that happens! ; ^ ;))

Tanya stared at him as he spoke while she enjoyed her meal and drink. It was a very welcomed distraction from focusing on the dishes and food. Focusing on the captain's face wasn't going to do anything, she didn't think so anyway. "Ah y-yes...well I wouldn't want to break anything or hurt anyone. I will always be nervous until I can get this ability under control." Tanya explained and laughed happily as she shook her head. "Oh captain, don't be sorry. I enjoy listening to you, what you are saying is quite interesting really." she assured and smiled after drinking more of her drink. "So you can understand all the vibes of everyone on this ship?" Tanya asked and took a few bites of her food.

Skye smiled softly and said, "Don't worry about breaking dishes. You're human. It's natural. People make mistakes and you wouldn't get into trouble for breaking a stack of plates or whatever. If you felt better about it, we can start using more durable dishes until you're more comfortable. We do have those, By the way. They're silicone or something. I'm not quite sure what they're made of actually. Just not glass or clay." He smiled again, remembering that she said she enjoyed listening to him and what he was saying was interesting. "And about the vibes, Yeah, pretty much. I mean sometimes it gets confusing when there are more than three people in the same room or general area as me, but that doesn't happen except for meal times and ship parties." He took a couple bites of his stew, and then continued. "It helps that Arashi can tell me the cause of certain vibes, so i can interpret them... They're sort of..." He took another bite while he looked for the words he wanted. " Sort of like auras. Except instead of a color, they're an emotion or a mix of emotions. It's like extremely confused empathy." He took another bite of the stew and said, "this is really good," Before continuing to eat.

Skye Smiled, " Actually a stomach ache. I feel the vibes mostly in my stomach. It's only bad when i'm around a lot of negative feelings, like if my crew is stressed or there's tension... Which happens a lot when you're on a ship. It's actually why i rarely eat with the crew." He shrugged. " I actually only can tolerate all of them at once when everyone's mood is about the same and positive, like if they're happy or enjoying themselves, Such as ship parties, which is why i have them. " He looked down at his bowl and noticed he had almost finished. " Are there any leftovers? Your stew really is really good." He asked about the left overs for that reason, mainly. He really did enjoy the food, and would probably end up over eating if he wasn't careful, But at that moment he didn't care.

((you know, I've had this tab open since you replied but this is the first time i've really had a chance to...))

"Thank you" He said as he took the bowl from her. "You really are a great cook. I'm glad we kept you. And yeah. It's easy to tell when you're feeling someone else's emotions. Your own are felt in your chest, but someone else's is kind of between your pancreas and your stomach. And often times it feels like a knot." again, he was eating as he spoke, taking bites between sentences. He looked at Tanya. "The main difference between just feeling someone else's emotions and picking up their vibes is the ability to understand why they're feeling that way almost exactly, even if they don't really know themselves."

((It's okay Rena, I've been really busy with school))

Tanya couldn't help but smile and blush softly at his kind words. "Thank-you Captain, it means a lot to hear you say that." she said softly and instinctively touched her stomach. It was very interesting and somewhat confusing what he was saying. "It must be rather difficult to understand another person's emotions when the person themselves doesn't understand them." she pointed out and brushed some hair away from her face. She was happy to know that he was enjoying the stew; it probably meant that everyone else was enjoying it too.
