There's pros and cons from stumbling into this entire setup and deciding to indulge. One one hand, it's similar enough in effects to certain drugs that she knows will relax her, and that's not a bad thing. On the other, if things go haywire and someone tries to kill her, she dosn't want to be less than ready to leap into action. And on the third spectral hand, her sorcery works off instinct, so it'll probably be fine if she shows up with a hidden dagger and casts Shield before arriving. Surprise attacks won't get the jump on her.

The result is that she's gracelessly reclining all over a chair, letting the weed course through her, and breathing easy while remaining calmly and utterly baffled by whatever movie is on. They don't have these where she comes from, and however unreal they are, it's still a delight, even if her position means she's watching it basically sideways. Alternately, if she does go towards the food, the look on her face belongs more to a student on their final exams than someone who wants a snack. The choices are difficult. One hand reaches, and then pulls back. Contemplation in the extreme.

Listen, she's here, and the lowered inhibitions means she's even more liable to simply have a word if you float into her vicinity. Or the fact that she's still practically brand new to the ship is something. Or she's staring extremely mournfully at a gold coin that's fallen from her hands, because to retrieve it and return to fiddling with it means getting up.
