Joker plodded towards the mess hall, the white towel in his hand dragging behind him. Gardner raised an eyebrow as he handed Joker his tray. Joker looked down at the food and shrugged. Not wholly pleased with the selection. He settled down at the table, throwing his towel around his shoulders.
"Joker it's after noon, why are you still in a bathrobe and pajamas?" Tali asked coming in to the mess hall. The machine part in her hand forgotten momentarily as she took in Joker's appearance. He smiled, shakeing his head declining to answer. Tali edged around Joker and headed out of the room, the part clutched close to her chest. Just as she reached the door, Joker called out.
"Don't worry, I'm mostly harmless."
Shepard did not bat an eye as she took in Joker's outfit. She did cocking her head to the side and asked, "I thought that would be April second?"
"No ma'am." Joker replied both pleased and surprised that she knew. "How did you know?"
"Watched the movie." Shepard shrugged, and head back for her cabin.
Gardner fidgeted, finally asked "What?"
"42." Came Joker's reply as he finished his lunch. He stood up to return his empty tray as Shepard came back in. She was wearing her robe over her day uniform, and a towel slung over one shoulder. Joker snorted giving Shepard a thumbs up, and headed back for the elevator.
"Commander?" Gardner exclaimed, his hand atomically fixing a plate for her as she came over. Shepard smiled enigmatically and pulling out a data pad to read as she sat down.
"I think you humans have a saying for situations like this Gardner." Garrus answered, pulling his MRE out of the pantry and heading back to his station.
"Which saying?" Gardner asked fixing another plate for the diminutive comm. officer who kept eyeing Shepard.
"Just smile and nod." Garrus replied, as laughter echoed down the hallway.
