Raven had dark hair and dark eyes that went with her slightly darker skin tone. A couple of small tattoo marks on the lower part of her mouth hinted at some cultural reference, but was unclear. She was certainly not shy and was full of energy. It was unclear just how much was fueled by her beverage, but there was no denying that she was a force to be reckoned with. The dark hair was pulled back into a ponytail and the coveralls looked to have survived years of use.
At the mention of another raktajino, she narrowed her eyes, briefly appearing to evaluate Izzy and Charlie. A devilish smile quickly returned to her face and with a couple more taps on her PADD, two more steaming cups appeared, one in front of each of the ladies. Raven pointed at Tom and gave him a mock scolding, "None for you..."
The secret recipe that appeared in steaming ceramic mugs was an amazing mixture. It was smooth and creamy with elements of dark chocolate, cinnamon, and some sort of hot pepper. It wasn't painfully spiced, but it was clearly there. The effect was a warmth and aroma that spread through you from the first sip. The bitter taste of the Raktajino was smoothed out with the cocoa, cream, a hint of sweetness and the mild bite of the pepper. There were a few other subtle spices in there that they couldn't define, but the mixture was delicious and invigorating. It was easy to understand why Raven openly admitted an addiction to the drink.
In reply to the topic of gaming, Raven nodded and elaborated, "So often, a competition favors strength and speed, giving men an advantage. Games like variations of billiards, they lend themselves to precision, a fine understanding of physics and no small degree of skill at the delicate touch at applying them in the real world on a table surrounded by friends." She then shrugged and added, "If you have the misfortune to be surrounded by enemies, you are armed with big sticks and very sold projectiles that are both rather formidable in the right hands, but I prefer to dwell on the more joyful version of the game."
That last part got a curious look from Gath and even a small chuckle.
