That surprised Shaw, that Prani had never seen the ocean before. Prani loved nature so much—he had kinda just assumed that she had seen everything it had to offer. "If it makes you feel any better I really didn't get to see much of it," he chuckled, thinking back to that padawan adventure on Ellora. "It was kinda dark and this ape guy was spinning me around on his back, so it really wasn't the beach getaway you might imagine." 'Ape guy' was probably not a very nice term for another sentient being, but after kidnapping and attempted murder Shaw didn't really have any qualms calling the guy 'ape guy.' Luckily Roanoke had saved his butt right in the nick of time, and Caul had saved Zessel's.
Shaw grinned over at her. "If you don't make it to the beach, let me know. Maybe we could go together sometime." It was just an idea. Odds were that she would cross paths with the ocean on some assignment or another before then, but the offer was there if she didn't. Shaw was just gonna have to make some more credits before then. "I've always wanted to learn how to surf!" Knowing him he would probably spend most of the time falling off the board, but even that sounded like fun.
Midbite with a sandwich held in both hands, Shaw just froze and stared when Prani said that she was a vegetarian. He blinked a few times before he pried the sandwich from his jaws and repeated, "A vegetarian? You're a vegetarian?" How had he never realized that until now? Realizing that baked beans and vegetables wasn't much of a dinner, it took the wind right out of his sails. "Sorry, Prani—I didn't know. I just thought you really loved your veggies!" He could really be clueless sometimes.
Neither of them probably realized it, but most girls would have balked at the idea of dipping their vegetables in baked beans. But Prani wasn't like most girls. Truth be told, Shaw hadn't been planning on eating any of the vegetables, but fair was fair. He picked up a cucumber slice (more of a chunk really) and dunked it in the baked beans, making a face as he swallowed. "You're either really nice or you got really weird taste," he teased, laughing as he stared over at her, and he didn't care which it was.
The admission that no one else had ever done anything like this for her before brought a smile to Shaw's lips. It was a relief to hear, after he had forgotten half the picnic supplies and cut their trip to the petting zoo short. Maybe he hadn't made a disaster of everything after all. "I wanna spoil you," he said simply, grinning from ear to ear as he leaned over and nudged her shoulder. "That's my job now. I'm your boyfriend, remember?" But he would remember that, that she liked hanging out with him for just him.
"Let's not think about that right now," he said, not sure if that was really the best way to handle it or not, but he was seventeen and pushing the unpleasant parts off until they were absolutely necessary to face seemed like the best option. "I still got a couple months left before Master Valtiere picks me up." Or he met up with Master Valtiere. He wasn't sure yet. All he knew was that the sephi had said they would be going into enemy territory this time. That... that definitely seemed like the wrong thing to tell Prani, so Shaw kept that to himself. Shaw picked up some cauliflower this time to see if it tasted any better paired with the baked beans. "Besides I bet you'll be doing a lot of your own traveling," he smiled, "Galaxy really needs healers like you." @Sreeya
