[ miles has come to expect the unexpected around here, but mark -- mark exceeds the unexpected on so many levels. like, for instance, the fact that he's a lot...heavier than miles last saw him. this damned place throws him for a loop every time.
their last parting, while more or less civil, hadn't exactly been on the friendliest of terms, and miles considers avoiding contact for mark's sake for a moment. but it's not that big of a ship, they're bound to run into each other sooner or later, and it might as well as be under controlled conditions. and whatever mark's convictions, he's still miles' brother, as far as miles is concerned. this could be a good thing, in a way.
he doesn't want to make mark feel like he needs to be on the defensive, so he approaches the table at a casual pace, even offering a smile, at least partly to conceal his confusion over mark's changed appearance. ]
Hello, Mark. [ miles tries to mask the inherent awkwardness of the situation with an affable tone, and gestures vaguely with his own tray, which is fairly light, as well. he'll leave alone if mark wants him to, he tells himself. but he can't not try. ] Funny seeing you here. You, ah, mind if I sit?
