Torri couldn't imagine carving another evening out of her life to devote to a dinner, but the idea was charming. She'd do her damndest to make it happen. If Drayson asked, specifically, of course. "Yes, maybe. Assuming that the place is no longer a fire hazard."
Her smile diffused the harshness of the statement. She was only kidding.
He undid his tie and opened up his collar, and Torri had to specifically put her eyes elsewhere to avoid watching too closely. Although the idea of Drayson telling her his eyes were 'up here' would be abundantly amusing.
She didn't have to think long, though. "No where really. I guess I think of home is being where ever my parents are. I was an only child, and I didn't know my extended family overly well. Not enough to think London is home."
She dipped a shoulder in casual shrug and looked around them. "I suppose this is also home. Upload pictures to the walls, skychat with friends, and eat some decent food and its good enough. Its not like I want the white picket fence and a dog in the back yard. Some place private to unwind."
That was probably the crux of the matter in the end. Army life didn't necessarily make privacy a high priority. Then again she had it better in MEDCOM than most.
"I hope to get settled someplace after the next advancement. I'll have done my tours and finished residency."
She assumed advancement would come eventually. It was fairly standard for physicians to make Major upon completion of residency. She only hoped her time at the Facility counted toward her promotion.
