Geneenh gritted her teeth and waited for the asari to recognize her, but if that was the case the woman gave no sign as she served up a bowl of pho, chopsticks and a cup of tea to the engineer.
She expertly swirled some noodles onto her chopsticks and took a bite, then nodded.
"Tastes a little different compared to the pho I've eaten in the past," she said, a thoughtful expression on her face.
"That's the wonderful thing about cooking!" the asari who served her said. "You can put in almost any sort of ingredients into something and as long as people like it, you're not wrong!"

Maelstrom and Enalya's efforts met with general approval from those seated in the mess, Thrak finding the human meal especially satisfying. Eric was about to revisit the krogan's obsession with food when the hulking merc made a comment about the bubble tea that caused the N7s nostrils to fill up with broth. Eric doubled over and shook for half a minute as he swallowed and cleared his upper respiratory tract with the aid of a handkerchief. He sat upright and peered about at the asari. If they were offended by Thrak's words they did not make it known.
"Hoooo!" he exhaled finally. "Whadda wildman... hey, Mal? There's an idea. How bout it - start that noodle place, give up th' merc life? You wouldn't hafta worry about competition. Can't see Maya Pizza, Mickey's or anyone else ballin' up ta set up shop on Tuchanka. Could even help ya hollow out a choice spot if ya want..."

Maelstrom almost laughed at the suggestion. "Good spot to avoid Cerberus, I'll bet." In his best hawker's voice, he added, "Half off one all-you-can-eat for any krogan who brings in the head of a Cerberus agent! Free if that head isn't connected to anything!"

Joe chuckled at Maelstrom's offer.
It was odd to see the biotic so relaxed. Until now, the man had walked around like he had the weight of the galaxy on his shoulders.
Maybe now he's realizing he's got friends he can count on, to help him carry the load...
"Careful, Mal," he said. "We're about to hit a target-rich environment and Thrak might run out and kill them all just so you'll make more pho! Not that it isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I just think it might be hard for him to haul all those bodies to you to get his discount."

Geneenh watched the casual way the others talked amongst themselves and knew this was a team that had been together, that had gone through some difficult times.
But she knew from experience that sooner or later there would be something that would tear them apart and set them against each other. She could say something to that effect, but of course they would deny it, so she didn't bother.
I wonder which one of them will betray me, she thought, and her eyes flicked towards the other asari.
