Although the activity officially announced over the intercom had been "music," the Commander felt that it would be more appropriate to not do what was suggested by Dr. Landel when given a choice, particularly now that he had a real source of direction available. Having carefully pocketed his chocolate from lunch, he looked around the Sun Room, but did not see his king. That was fine; he'd keep the chocolate until nightfall, and give it over then, if he had to. In the meantime, he had a mission.
Picking a target wasn't as easy this time, as the room was already full of pairs or groups discussing amongst themselves and no one seemed to have a sign out welcoming conversation like before. Finding one girl by herself, he ignored the visual indications that she was not in a mood for company, sitting down nearby. "Hello. Are you a member of a club?" If she didn't want to talk, he would stay to the point. The fact that he'd have the same short manners whether she'd seemed friendly or not wasn't important.
