"Uhm?" his mouth had noodles hanging out of it. He slurped the noodles into his mouth, "a little, yeah." He took a mouthful of chicken cutlet and some vegetable, perhaps broccoli. There were also a couple of slivers of ginger floating in his soup for taste.
 
As Bronzi droned on Sura continued her rambling at Danny. She enjoyed talking when she did not feel threatened.

"Oh, well. I am here celebrating my Da's Pouchday. He does not want to think he is getting older. But I told Mr. Luca and everybody else about it. So here we are. I don't think anybody is going to show up for it. But my Da already said ---" Sura cleared her throat and then spoke in a near perfect mockery of Bronzi. "I dun need no damned pinkies ta party."

"I think he is just shy. What do you do Mr....?"
 
"...Mr. Luca..." That name was the one thing that stuck out most from that electronic-undertoned Gartagen's voice.

Where'd he hear that name before? It was familiar. It was on a far flung planet beyond anyone's thought. In return for his life, Danny gave Luca a ship to escape from N-357 from, and he stole his own ship. He didn't anticipate the sorts of adventures that ship would undertake - and he'd unknowingly helped shape history at that time.

Occasionally back at the Consortium's grounds proper, he'd overhear a murmur or two of this 'Luca' from one of the employees - particularly from the strange Llmanel Lorath one with the sharp teeth and prosthetic legs.

"Danny," he replied with his name, nodding. "I'm sure your 'da' has had a good day so far, especially if he's friends with Luca," the blonde man sounded like he'd interacted him at least once in the past - but everyone had heard his name before. Maybe he was just a fan?

He didn't say what he did for a living though.
 
Sura shoveled more of the cake into her mouth, as crumbs and icing dripped off of her blue chin and landed on the table below. One of the Yamataian's saw this and sneered in disgust at her apparent barbarism. Sura chewed and swallowed it. 'Eeeeeh, I think he is kind of morose about the whole getting older thing." Sura responded as her translator hummed and buzzed her alien dialect around into the language Danny could hear.

"But working for Luca has its boons. I think my da woulda ended up working as a hired gun for some corporation or gangster were it not for Mr. Luca."

'So...uh...Mr. Danny, what do you do that requires orders for a day off? Must be intense?"
 
"er..." Danny paused for a moment, holding his eating implements as he looked at the Gartagen child. "Er, so far, search and rescue I think it's called," he smiled. "Apparently I'm supposed to do a lot of things. I only joined a while ago, so I have no idea what else I'm supposed to be doing with my job, but I'm sure it'll be more of that."

There was a long, thin briefcase under his feet made of matte black plastic material. It looked to be about four feet long with a carry handle. It did not appear to have any obvious way of opening it.
 
"So what is with the long suit case?" Sura asked pointing a cloven finger at the construct.

"You say search and rescue, yet you have a shiny gun shaped carrying case! I think I have stumbled across a romantic assassin! Here to assassinate some predatory Yamataian politician, and then fall in love with his weeping widow!" Sura said playfully, as a smile spread across her pretty, heart shaped face.

She laughed softly "I am kidding, you do not strike me as a cold blooded assassin."
