Zyta ate at a much slower pace than Rigel, she was a bit underweight so she got full really fast. Though Zyta stopped eating as Rigel explained about how the spaceship docks worked, and for a moment she looked almost excited at the thought of Rigel helping her with his connections. But Zyta quickly realized that if she did receive Rigel's help she wouldn't have anything she could pay him back with. Zyta didn't want to be in debt to anyone, not in favours or material things."I guess...I need to study and become skilled enough to become a spaceship engineer."
It wasn't a bad thought at all, and Zyta was young and had a long life ahead of her. She could become a spaceship engineer, and many more things if she willed it.
"I'm not that interested in sports, or amusement parks. As for the virtual reality simulator, I'm more interested in the mechanics and tech behind it."
Now there was genuine shock, although subtle shock, on Zyta's face as Rigel said he'd still be hungry after eating all of that. She looked at his plates and then at him.
"Where does all that food go? You're not especially large, just how fast is your metabolism?"
Zyta was genuinely confused, and Rigel's sudden jump from food to Zyta's origins didn't help it. But she answered nevertheless.
"Poland, I'm from Poland. All over Poland, I didn't have a permanent place of residence."
