[When Abigail wakes up, she isn't afraid. She isn't even concerned. She knows that this isn't the room she's used to, but she knows, too, that it's sort of hers and she has a right to it. So she springs out of bed, inspects it from top to bottom, and then heads out to explore the Barge.]
[There's a confidence in her that might surprise those who know her well as an adult. She investigates everything as if it belongs to her, spending a while on the deck looking at the stars and (loudly, incorrectly) identifying constellations. When she's done there, she curls up in the library with a stack of books almost taller than her, some on space (since that seems to be today's theme), some on anatomy, and some science fiction books, because that's basically the same as space.]
[In the end she gravitates towards the kitchens, where she inexplicably feels the most comfortable. She stays through lunch shift and well into the afternoon, investigating, tidying, wiping down surfaces.]
[Soon enough, she has a question.]

I've been paying attention to the kitchens, [she says in a lofty voice, commanding attention in the way that only children often do.] And I need to know something.
Where does the food come from? It has to come from somewhere.

[It's not quiet but he wants to be near in case children come looking for food; and they can take their lunch break, too. Ben has discovered over the course of being on board the Barge that actually, conversations held at a reasonable volume in a public space are much more likely to be completely ignored than those sequestered off into an out of the way corner.
Either of their rooms are off limits for this specific moment, due to previously mentioned reasons. Ben doesn't let go of her hand, but leads the way to the doors, out into the part of his shared territory with tables and chairs.]
