Well, that's sure to be appreciated. Roasted seeds taste good, I'm sure that'll go down well.

What is your favourite holiday? If you don't mind my asking.

[stefanged]

Ah, Eid Al-Fit'r. I don't think most people've heard of it, but it's a giant festival held after a whole month of fasting.

After prayers, you spend the day celebrating and enjoying each other's company and... [His expression grows wistful.] I miss it a lot.

[desertdaggers]

No, I… don't think it sounds familiar either. [he grimaces] Probably not what you wanted to hear. I'm sorry.

It sounds like a good festival, though. Is it a family thing, or does it involve everyone?

[stefanged]

I mean... [he shrugs, clearly unbothered.] It's not like people from Earth have heard of Eid, and they live there.

Everyone, of course. Think of uh, winter solstice or harvest festivals, and you've got the general atmosphere.

[desertdaggers]

Really? Well- that's a shame. It sounds like a good thing!

Have you been able to celebrate here?

[stefanged]

Mm, yeah, small dinners were the way to go. I didn't want to do anything big, just my friends and family.

[Found family is implied - he doesn't have any blood relatives here.]

[desertdaggers]

Yeah? I'm glad to hear that. That's the upside to a place like this, I think- finding people to share that with.

[stefanged]

Exactly. And as long as you're here, you might as well make a few friends along the way.

[desertdaggers]

Got it in one. [he grins, bright] I hope I can count you as one!

[stefanged]

Really? You'd count me as one already?

[That was fast. Stefan can't help laughing a little nervously.]

Sure, uh - yeah. Yeah, we can be friends.

[desertdaggers]

Well, we're stuck in the same situation, gone exploring together… I'd say it's a good first step to begin with!

Great! [he holds out a hand. shake on it?]

[stefanged]

[Is this guy for real??

Stefan hesitates, for half a second, before shaking Hawk's hand quickly yet firmly.]

Yeah, uh. When you put it that way, I guess it is.
