"I admit, at first I thought it was an off color Caf." Which is basically coffee in space, but still. "But it turned out to be far less bitter. I think I might like it more." She was smiling a bit more. Maybe subjects like this will be less serious.

She lifted her mug to his when he held it up. "Chocolate. That I have heard of. Or something like it. I've never had it in liquid form, but I can see why it bribes someone into a better mood." He settled back to hold the mug in both hands. Still a bit of food on her plate, and she would finish it all, but she held this close and smiled over the rim before taking a sip. "Thank you." She said after, for his bringing more back to her.

"The food is different here, but not all that bad." She nodded to his plate. "And you went back for more, so it must be edible to you as well."
