[ ??? ]

I don't have a name.

... You don't? What do people call you?

AR-26710.

[It would be a stretch to call that a name.]

... It's a little easier to call you Firefly, but I can call you that if you want.

I don't mind "Firefly".

[ It's just a little strange to have a name. ]

Firefly, then.

[ Walking over to stand beside her and look at the flowers. ]

Are you admiring the scenery?

Yes. Usually when I'm on a planet, there isn't nearly as much plant life.

You better soak it all up then. There's lovely tea too.

What is... tea?

It's a warm, grassy tasting beverage. You've never had it?

No.

It sounds like it's familiar to you.

It's one of my favourite things, actually.

[ Wanders over to one of the tables to pour them both a cup. ]

I'm guessing you don't get to relax much.

Relaxation is for civilians.

[He's right.]

Maybe you can be a civilian for a while. Just so I'm not drinking my tea alone.

Just for a little while should be okay.

Here.

[ Hands her a cup. ]

Let me know what you think.

[ She'll take a sip.

What flavor is this, and how bitter is it? ]

[ It's probably a mild black tea. She can add milk if she wants... ]

[ She prefers it bitter... ]

It's nice...

Have as much as you like. It's one of my favourite blends.

[ hehe ]

Are you feeling relaxed?

[Sipping the tea, since she's been allowed.]

What is "relaxed" like?

Like... you're not worried about anything for the moment.

[ about to hakuna matata her ]

I should be on alert.
