"I would have said peculiarities." Serenity said as she walked into the room.

"Quirks," Thais added with a nod.

"Coming from the Elf whose idea of a good time is re-tensioning her bow... that says a lot." Temperance snapped a little.

Crystal sat in a chair, "Ignore them, I do. Food?" She asked Thais.

"You are almost as bad as Sage did you know that?" He asked her as he went to get the door, as Temperance went to get the rest of the food out.

Serenity turned to their guests, "yeah... we're always like this... reminds us of home."

"That and we've all known each other for at least ten years." Han said with a chuckle. "So we bicker, all the time."

"Pizza!" Thais said as he walked in with a stack of pizzas.

"Food," Crystal said as she hopped up and started to stalk Thais into the dining room.

"Come on let's eat and get to know each other." Serenity said.
