Patrick Isadore strode into the lounge, and went straight to the replicator. He punched a few buttons and mumbled into it. It beeped at him in error and returned to the normal menu. The dark haired man grumbled and pressed the buttons again, and this time a bowl of corn came out. He took it with a sigh and headed to a table.

Avannia entered the lounge, looking for a bit of relaxation and socialization after a long day's work categorizing specimens in the science lab. As soon as she walked into the room, she could sense Patrick's frustration. Glancing oddly at his bowl of corn, she wondered if it was the source of his consternation. "Good evening, Commander," she greeted him.

"Hello Ensign," he replied, smiling at the woman, "care to join me for a bowl of" he pauses and looks at the bright yellow corn, "unpopped, steamed corn?"

Ava smirked lightly, shaking her head. "No thanks," she replied politely. "Having trouble with the replicator?" The idea of the chief engineer having trouble with any of the ship's technology was more than a little bit funny to her.

"It wont make popcorn," he scowls slightly, "Evidently it's classified as a hazard. I'll have to do it by hand. Damn, I thought I had this figured out. Been working on it long enough, but" he smiles at her "at least this is healthy!"

"Indeed," Ava smiled. She went to the replicator and got herself a mug of hot chocolate (complete with whipped cream) and returned to Patrick's table, offering him a handshake with her free hand as she sat down across from him. "I spend all of my time in Sciences, so I'm not very familiar with the other departments, but it's nice to make your acquaintance. I'm Avannia Deloi."

Pat accepts her hand and shakes it, "Nice to meet you too, name's Patrick Ull Isadore. Got a ton of nicknames if you ever hear 'em. Pick one yourself, I answer to just about anything," except Apples, he thinks.

"As long as they shout it in your direction, right?" Ava smiled as she took a sip of her hot chocolate.

Patrick snorted and chuckled, "Yeah, gets me into all sorts of awkward situations. I found out that one of my nick names is decidedly not 'sugarpants',"

She laughed at that, setting down her mug so that she wouldn't spill her drink. "And who called you that?" she chuckled. "My friends usually call me Ava when I'm not on duty, by the way."

"They didn't call me that, they were talking to a woman to the right of me. Weird situation to be in, let me tell you." he laughed again, "Ava is a pretty name,"

"Oooohhh, haha," Ava laughed, grasping the story. "Thank you," she said graciously. "So, am I correct in assuming that you are the chief of engineering?"

"Yup I am," he said, moving the corn around in the bowl, "Chief Engineer, or Cheng, if you prefer,"

Ever interested in people, Ava was delighted to be meeting and learning about another crewmember. She took another sip of her hot chocolate, leaving a dab of whipped cream on the tip of her nose, unnoticed. "Were you assigned to the ship or did you choose the Quincy?" she asked.

"Assigned, I really didn't care-" he paused and looked at her, "You have some...on your..." he gestured to her nose.
