Asbel's been so busy lately that he's almost forgotten to take the time to stop and eat. But, seriously, who could blame him? It's not as if protein bars have anything on his favored blend of meat, potatoes, onions, carrots and curry sauce over rice. Served mild of course! How long has it been now...?

But, things are as they are, and so he's left to sigh, nab a package of processed whatever-it-is and something to drink, and look for a place to sit.

Scanning the room, Asbel recognizes a number of familiar faces. He's sure he could join them and talk it up about the various goings-on around the moon base. But then he sees Dist, eating all by himself, and that just won't do.

So it is that Asbel Lhant strides over to his table, smiling in that well-meaning way of his.

"Hey. Mind if I join you?"
