"I don't know, either. I've never suffered such loss before. I was sad when Nana died, but she had lived a long, full life. She passed away peacefully." She smiles ruefully. "And I had the proper time and space to grieve. This is so different, I don't know what to expect. I don't think any of us do."

(Gaius Baltar is the biggest tool. At least Adia can say that she didn't vote for him!)

She can only guess why Paladin would be so surprised by the compliment, but Adia makes a note to mention it more often. She certainly feels very lucky. She joins Paladin at the buffet and takes an appreciative look at the offerings. Instinctively, she moves towards the salad bar. She is not a vegetarian, but fresh fruit and vegetables are scarce on New Caprica. Practically non-existent. "I think I'll start with a salad. I'll meet you back at the table."
