Nalini found herself enjoying being in the kitchen, she let Agrippina take care of interacting with the crew. She cooked, and cleaned, and got things ready for the next day. Occasionally, she might watch the crew while they were eating, observing their reactions and taking notes. However, right now there wasn't anyone else around and a lot to clean and prep for the next day. She put her tablet in a corner of the kitchen and told it to call Caeneus.
The old Separa'Shan answered, "Nalini! Good to hear from you, how are you adjusting?"
Nagashun started washing dishes. "Slowly, it's fine when it comes to the formal bits, taking orders and doing what needs to be done. I'm not sure I know anyone well enough to talk to them."
Caeneus nodded, "How well do you want to know them?" He asked.
"Well, you know, I want to know a lot about them. What they like, what they don't like, where they are from, what forces shaped them. Who their friends and family are. Everything really." She said, rolling a thing of dishes into the washer and activating it while she started on some more.
"People don't have to know everything to say hi to each other. They don't have your... advantages when it comes to getting to know people." Caeneus offered.
"I know, it's just... like even with Dr. Maindo I still could access her file, read all of her work, understand where she was coming from. She wasn't a stranger even when we first met." Nalini added, putting the dishes away.
"So your holding back because you want more information about your crewmates before talking to them."
Nalini sighed, starting to prep the kitchen for the next day's work. "I know what your going to say, most people don't know and can't pull up someone's entire life history in a picosecond. It's just... it feels incomplete I guess? I also get this fear, like their not going to like me and I want them to like me, and if I had all of the information I could control that."
Caeneus laughed, "Your shy. It's ok, you don't have to be an outgoing person."
"I'm not shy..." Nalini protested as they chopped some vegetables.
"All right, all right, can you do something for me?"
"What is it?" Nalini asked warily.
"I want you to hang out with the rest of the crew sometime tomorrow. Just join them in... well whatever it is a crew like that does everyday. Talk to them, and get to know them the hard way, rather than cheating and digging to already know how they are going to respond."
Nalini paused her chopping, scooting what she had made into containers that she put into the fridge. "All right, I'll do that. It's probably going to a bar or something, I'll see if I can join them."
