Splendora was surprised to see that she had been the only one to show for dinner that night. Everyone had pretty much been doing their own thing. Her and Nivar had secured some BH contracts and she had sent a note to everyone to meet at Bijanka Coffee House and Grill. So far she'd been the only one to arrive and she had arrived right on time.

Vox strolled through the doors of the Bijanka Coffee House and Grill hankering for a good steak. The smell, as he walked in, said he was definitely going to get some. He noticed Splendora.

"Hey, are you the only one here from our group?" He asked.

"It appears that it is only you and I." She said. "I hope that's okay?"

"It's no problem for me. I'm eager for some nice steak." Vox replied licking his lips.

"I just want something light." She smiled. She handed him the menu. "How have things been going here?"

"Not bad so far. I have a few pieces for the gallery and good prices so I am happy about that. " Vox replied.

"That's amazing. I'd love to see them sometime." She thought about his gallery. "I hope you'll find all your treasures when we get back to SB400...if we get back."

"I hope so too. My safe is strong but it also well hidden so I can only hope." Vox replied.

"Well count on my help when you are getting things reopened. Actually I was going to talk to you about that?"

"Oh, thank you for the offer. I appreciate it. Depends on the mess when I get back though. " Vox replied.

They ordered their food and when it arrived dug in. For her part, Splendora, had ordered a burger and waffle fries. "This is really cool." She said. "The food is so good." She thought a moment. "Wanna go to an art gallery after this?"

Vox, who was enjoying his steak, looked up. "Sure, sounds like a plan."

"I had reserved tickets for us all but I think you and I will appreciate it more."

"Oh, absolutely. Its been a while since I went to an art gallery that a) not my own and b) one owned by someone I know in the trade. I know no one on Freecloud. " he said with a smile.

She grinned. "Excellent!" She finished off the last of her food. "Time for dessert before we go?"

"Absolutely. I wonder if they do a well-known dessert from my homeworld, Trill? Its called Zorina. " Vox asked.

They each ordered their dessert and tucked in. Splendora had ordered the same as Vox. She was rather enjoying it. "It's very good." She said.

"It is, but not quite as good as when I make it. Well, I do make it slightly differently. Only because my mother showed me how to do it that way. I will have to show you sometime. " Vox replied.

She smiled, "Agreed." they finished up and headed out. The walk had been short and Splendora reflected on how wonderful the evening was outside. "It's really nice out here. I almost wish it was an open-air gallery."

"Indeed. I haven't been to an open-air gallery since the one I visited on Santri III." Vox commented.

The night passed too quickly but both had enjoyed the gallery. Splendora had picked up a couple of pieces for her room on the new ship that Michael and Hex had secured and she'd be returning to their home base on that ship. She hadn't seen Tom or Vito nor had they answered her hails. She worried about them terribly.
