Kara was adapting. Sam had moved in with her, so it was somewhat familiar. Not very, since she and Sam hadn't really lived together since New Caprica. They might have been in the same rack, but that didn't mean they were really a married couple. Not like the rest, who shared quarters away from the general population.

It was an adjustment, but one she was trying for. That was a change of pace, if nothing else.

That didn't mean Kara had decided to be domesticated. No, she needed to get out and mix it up with people. She might have felt isolated in her 'destiny' aboard Galactica, but she felt different here. That driving urge was gone. She could be herself again.

And herself wanted to drink. And play Triad. And maybe punch someone in the face. And maybe get punched in the face. She wanted to let go and enjoy herself for once, instead of worrying about Cylons and humanity and Vipers and her marriage and what she was frakking up now. And maybe it would give her a chance to reconnect with friends and a lover she'd pushed away, and make new connections.

Whatever the case, she was already plotting how long it would take her to get to shitfaced.

"I get it. I won't tell you if you don't want me to. But if you get to wondering, and you really want to know, I'll tell you." She smiled right back at him, shaking her head. "It's still weird, y'know. You having a kid and all. I've almost gotten used to it."

Kara made a face at him. "I haven't told you the best part. He's Samuel T. Anders." She smirked and raised a brow, then shrugged at his question. "He loves me. He loves me a lot." She glanced at him, looking sheepish. "More than I've earned."

"If I get that itch, I'll let you know." He gave Kara a wry smirk and then reached for the bottle. He tilted it back, taking a drink, and he pursed his lips. "Glad you've gotten used to it, Kara."

He nearly did a spit take and his eyes got saucer wide. Helo was a big time Pyramid fan. He bet on games back on Caprica all the time. "You're frakking me? I thought I recognized him!" he grinned and then bumped her with his shoulder again. "Look at you, Thrace. Landing a big time sports star. Didn't figure you for the type."

"You will. I know you." She grinned and handed the bottle over, shaking her head. "Kinda used to it. I still think 'Dear Gods, Helo spawned' and have to start the process all over again."

She mimicked his expression, then laughed. "Not recently. And that's him. My sports star turned Cylon resistance fighter turned Cylon." It was her little lead in, letting Karl know that she was married to a Cylon. Something she was still coming to grips with.
