	I do so love hearing your voice. You really know how to make a girl feel special. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Well, you are my favorite of everyone I've met here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh? I would say your willingness to call puts you at the top of mine. Still lonely in here. I suppose that's to be expected. You going to sing for me again, Beautiful? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I did say you could talk to me anytime, and I meant it. I'm used to having multiple people speaking to me via comms, at all hours of the day and night. Breq and Station and I are the only ones from our world here now, though. Did you want me to sing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sorry. I meant to call. Not everyone enjoys my winning personality as much as you do. Of course, not everyone invites me to check out their system. Guess I have a bit of a routine. I like it when you sing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Now you know. It's a standing invitation. You should tell me more about yourself. Breq's songs are better when she's here to do a duet, but I could sing you one of the new ones I've learned. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There's not much to tell. I wanted to see the stars. It didn't work out. What new songs have you learned? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vendaai 2018-08-03 03:55 am UTC (link)
	Surely there's more to tell than that. What are your favorite things? What do you -- or did you, before your ship crashed -- do for fun? That sort of thing. A number of them. I think Stand By Me is my favorite so far. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I make souffles. They never turn out the way my mother made them. Entertainment options are limited. I try to make my own fun now. That song is a classic. Love it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What are souffles? [...] I'm still figuring out what kind of fun I'd like to have on this particular planet, too. I'll sing it if you sing it with me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You've never had a souffle? This must be fixed immediately. I'm not sure I remember all the words. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vendaai 2018-08-05 03:39 am UTC (link)
	I don't think so. I don't recognize the name, at least. I've eaten food I didn't know the name of, though. Making them up when you can't remember is half the fun. You should hear the way our crew butchered Breq's songs. At least, I'm fairly certain we did, but in our defense, we didn't know the languages. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Long distance dinner date? I'll talk you through making one. Should be amusing if nothing else. Now I really want to hear you sing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vendaai 2018-08-05 03:55 am UTC (link)
	That's an excellent idea. What do I need to make a souffle? I might have to go shopping first, we don't have any Earth food on Station. I will sing for you, I promise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	4 eggs, a pint of milk, flour, a stick of butter, salt, pepper, lemon optional. You'll want egg beaters or a mixer, bowls and utensils to mix in, a saucepan and oven, and ceramic mugs or bowls to put the mix in. I just like hearing your voice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'll have to get some eggs. I think we have the others, except the lemon. Oh, we do have dried eggs. The milk is dried too, can I use that or do I need the real thing?

I've got all of those.

I love the sound of my own voice, so you don't have to worry about whether you'll hear enough of it. But as it happens, I also like the sound of yours, so I don't want to be the only one talking (or singing, as the case may be).

	Definitely real eggs and milk. Can't have souffle without the eggs and milk. Excellent. Hope you're sure about that. I can talk for ages. Got real good at talking to fill up the silence. Can go on about almost anything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vendaai 2018-08-05 04:12 am UTC (link)
	Alright, I'll head out to the store. Absolutely sure. Plenty of time to talk about anything you want while I'm out shopping. (Reply to this) (Parent)
