Better 'n taking it for granted, that's for damn sure.
[It wasn't even that they had seen such a harsh divide among the different groups in the CGS. Even the older, more privileged (in as much as that they weren't youths selling themselves as human shields for food and board) First Corps had eaten the same sort of gruel that the Third Group had. The owner hadn't exactly been affluent. It was tough everywhere on Mars, except for the very thin upper crust of families so rich they might as well have been royalty.
He doesn't hold too much against them, though. His first employer had been a scion of such a family, doing everything she could to fix the very circumstances which had created the mercenaries she'd hired to protect her. There was an irony in that, sure, but he had nothing but respect for her.]
You're right, though. We gotta take advantage of all of this variety while we still can. [Said with a grin, happy in the anticipation of wherever Julius had in mind.
Casual things like getting a bite with an acquaintance was something that was still faintly unfamiliar to him, though Orga takes to it well, sampling some food he'd never really heard of before and continuing to talk for as long as their meeting together lasted.
Because, well, you gotta capitalize on the peaceful moments while they last.]
