Lieutenant Tayrey's cottage is in a quieter part of Somnius, not far from the lake. The garden is full of bright flowers, but wild and overgrown. As Levi approaches, she opens the front door and waves to him.

'Over here!' she calls out. She's in her usual uniform, despite being home alone. The only evidence of her injury from this distance is that she does seem to be leaning against the doorframe. 'Peace and prosperity,' she greets him. It's not often that she has visitors here. Tayrey's in an odd situation, in that she's accustomed to absolute privacy in her own cabin, but a busy, almost crowded starship the rest of the time. She's not used to having a whole house to herself! She's eager to welcome Levi in.
