Sulu walked into the lounge, ordered his usual drink and took it the table he always sat at. He was off duty for the next 48 hours and he had no idea what to do with himself. Usually he read or worked out or spent time working with the plants in the Arboterum but he found that right now, his heart wasn't in it. Not since he'd talked to Demora earlier in the day. His daughter had had some surprising news and it hit him harder than he'd expected.

Ben was getting remarried.

He knew that there was someone in Ben's life, he'd learned that when he was in San Francsco although he hadn't met the man. Ben had let his name slip and Demora had mentioned "Daddy's friend" but he didn't realize that it was serious. Apparently it was and they were planning a Christmas wedding. While Sulu and Ben's divorce had been amicable and they were still friends, it hurt to know that there was someone new. Especially when it came to Demora. She seemed to like him well enough but he couldn't help but be reassured when she said "but he's not you, Papa." Petty though it might be, he couldn't help but smile at the memory.

Taking a sip of his drink, he sighed and looked around the lounge. He hadn't been keepihng up with the new arrivals lately and didn't recognize anyone currently sitting at the tables. That was okay though, someone would come by soon enough and strike up a conversation. They always did.

"Just making sure I had the right thing," he said. "but come on, I'll show you the replicator. It's not hard to program it. The trick is to be as specific as you can and you'll usually get something that's pretty much like the real thing. At least that's been my experience."

He got up and led her over to the replicator. "There are a few people on board who actually cook. I'm not one of them though. That's not something that I'm all that good at." As many different things as Sulu enjoyed doing, cooking had never been one of them.

"I'm almost ashamed to be seen with you right now," she teased him as she got up and followed up over to the replicator. Actually, she might be inclined to share with him, so he could see what proper chips were really like.

"I'm not much of a cook, either," she said as they walked. "My best mate, Alicia, she's brilliant in the kitchen, but I'm pretty rubbish with that stuff." They approached the replicator and she looked over at him. "Alright, flyboy, show me how it's done."
