"Yes. We could agree on an environment. Look at this common room for example. What a mess! Here, it's a meadow, there it's a beach, a palace, a boudoir."
"You mean we should make it the same for all of us?" asked Lazar.
"Sure. We can have whatever we want in our cabins, but let's make some sense out of the common room."
"Good idea," said Brunei. "I'll call the others."
Three months out:
Brunei stepped through the stuccoed portal, and into the central Spanish garden. He noticed that the sky was blue, with a few fleecy white clouds.
But then, the weather was always good. They had agreed on it.
Lazar, Ingrid, Lin Pey and Vera were sitting on the green lawn surrounding the fountain.
Daker, Joby, Linda and Donner preferred the shade, and lounged against the white arabesqued wall which enclosed the garden on four sides, broken only by four arched entrance portals.
