"But I like your cooking..." Declan murmured, mildly confused. Shrugging it off, they sat and ate, the Titan occasionally casting the odd look Aoba's way, worried about his mood and health and any number of variables that came from such a curiously tumultuous man. Aob's mood swings made Declan feel pretty good about his own; he no longer considered his anger issues that much of a problem. At least they were triggered pretty specifically.
He broke the silence periodically, explaining the certain protocols and itinerary involved with the trip, lined out where they would be staying (landing, really, since they would stay on the ship when not exploring), and expressed some small concern regarding food on the ship. Guardians not really having to eat meant replicators weren't installed, so Declan had to place a supply order. They would have food as designated by the quartermaster options, but he didn't know what it might entail. Mostly frozen foods, for which he apologized. That said, though, they were ready to go as soon as Aoba was prepared. First stop would be Venus because the Moon jump had to be post-posed. Generally a no-fly zone for any but the most experienced Guardians, Declan had clearance to take Aoba there, but the Hive had swarmed recently and they needed to find a designated safe-zone, which hadn't been posted yet. It was fine, he mused, since that meant they would get to spend more time at the Ishtar libraries on Venus.
Cleaning up breakfast and packing all their left-overs from previous meals to have throughout the day on the ship instead of breaking immediately into the food stores, Declan, Aoba, Ren, and Ghost were soon off, strapping themselves in to leave the atmosphere and take a Seragaki into deep space.
"The first break and first jump are the worst, I'm told. Once we get out of atmo I'm sure you'll adjust fine. There's all kinds of amenities on the ship, including gravity, but I'll shut it off at least once. You should get to experience zero G. You ready?"
