Marty turned behind him. He seemed surprised that Reli had followed him, and Reyna and Chris too. As Fisher woke up his crew, Marty walked over the the water supply and scooped out a deep 'dish' full of water. "Here..." he said, setting it on the ground for Reli to use, and looked at the others down the ramp. "Either of you want some water while I'm at it? We don't really need to save this anymore..."
<Fascinating.> Ehruf said. <That would be quite useful, I'd imagine....> At that moment, they arrived at their destination. Ehruf barked out a few native phrases. He then held the curtain out of the way, and gestured for the others to enter the yuk'kum. Other Pemalites could be seen moving about, setting out various spreads of food items. There was a large basket of smoked meat, which was obviously the main course, as well as much smaller amounts of roots, tubers, and other dried vegetation. Jars filled with sloshing liquids - some were water, and some were presumably a soup of sorts- were brought out and set in the middle of the open area with the rest of the meal. After doing as Ehruf asked, the few Pemalites who were already in the yuk'kum sat to the side and talked quietly amongst themselves, glancing occasionally at the group of assorted aliens who entered. <I hope that this will be to your liking.... Help yourselves.>
