Jarek stared in dismay at the hole Kate had tossed the food down. His stomach growled. What do you suppose she did that for?

Ronan was frowning, staring toward Kate's room and trying to 'pick up' any thoughts she might project.

Some sort of custom or ritual? Dax speculated.

Jarek sent him a sharp look. With food? he demanded, outraged. You are saying she gave our food to the gods? What are they going to do with it?

She suspects, Ronan said emphatically.

Jarek blinked at him uncomprehendingly. She threw the food in that hole because she suspects? He considered it. What do you think she suspects?

Ronan looked at him blankly, glanced at Dax and then shook his head. Do you never think of anything but food? he demanded dryly.

Jarek gaped at him. I think about food when I am hungry! I do not think about food when I am not hungry. He frowned. Except when I am considering what I might eat the next time I am hungry.

I think I will check the pods to see if there is something to eat.

Cabinets, Ronan corrected Dax absently. Or lockers. I think I will check on Kate.

Why are you checking on Kate? Jarek asked as Ronan strode away. Clearly she is not hungry or she would not have sacrificed the food to the hole god and left.

Dax glared at him. Ronan is right! You think of nothing but your stomach! She said she was not feeling well. He is worried about our mate and you should be, too!

She is not sick, Ronan contradicted him without pausing. I am worried about what is causing her to be anxious.

It is the way her mind churns with thoughts, Dax said, studying the contents of the cabinet he had opened. I would not feel well either if my mind was always leaping from one thing to another and back again. It is enough to make her dizzy and that is enough to make her feel ill.

That is stupid! Jarek snapped. Why would she feel ill because of that? How could that make her dizzy?

Dax swiveled slowly around to glare at Jarek in fuming silence for a moment. Finally, his brow cleared.

You would know nothing about it since there is never more than one thought in your head at the time, he said coolly.

What is that supposed to mean? Jarek demanded indignantly.

That you are stupid.

No fighting, Ronan growled.

Dax hurled a hard container of food at Jarek's head. There you go. Eat that.

Jarek managed to catch it before the container smacked him in the face. He glared at Dax, who missed it since he had turned his back to Jarek, and threw it back at him. It narrowly missed clocking Dax in the back of the head. Fortunately, he had seen something on a lower shelf and bent over to study it more closely an instant before the container would have made contact. He jumped when the container collided with the contents of one shelf and created a small avalanche.
