:: still in their stateroom, talking to his boss on the commlink, Zuriyev's bald head blinding him ::

ACZ: Dammit Alexi, this is ATLANTIS we're talking about here!

ADM_ACZuriyev>

Da, Ian, I know it. Remember, she was my ship before she was yours.

<TAC_Cadet_Randen>

:: Sitting reclined in his brig cell on the bed. ::

:: quietly :: ACZ: I know we joke about it, but that's seriously the first time you've called her my ship.

<CSO_Lt_Wright>

:: standing outside Kate's stateroom, wearing a billowy blouse and a long flowing skirt, beaded sandals, and a floppy hat. She smooths her hands down her front, calming herself, one more time before pressing the chime. ::

SEC_1Lt_Syvek>

:: arrives at the cruise ship's bring with paperwork on Randen ::

<ENG_LtJG_Ilaihr>

SEC: I have enjoyed your company greatly Lady Kuari. It would be a pleasure to converse with you again. It would be interested to hear and learn your natural language some time.

<NAV_Cdr_Harper>

Door: Come in!

<XO_Cdr_TKirr>

:: stands next to Blackthorne, ready to back him up on Zuriyev's call ::

ADM_AC_Zuriyev>

Regardless, Ian, I think that your argument WILL fly. I just can not guarantee it yet.

SEC_1Lt_Syvek>

:: presents all the necessary paperwork to the guards and makes numerous assurances on the part of Randen ::

<SEC_Lt_Kuari>

:: bows her big head to Ilaihr :: ENG: I look forward to our next conversation. Where are you off to?

<CSO_Lt_Wright>

:: enters as the door swishes open, biting her lip at first and smiling nervously when she sees Kate :: How did I do? :: twirls ::

<NAV_Cdr_Harper>

:: her face lights up when she sees that Lexy is dressed in Risan garb, and she exclaims something unintelligible in Risan ::

<ENG_LtJG_Ilaihr>

SEC: I may have been a trader, but I have always been an explorer at heart. So in a sentiment I believe you might appreciate; Wherever the wind shall take me. ::He smiled.::

<SCI_LtJG_TLira>

:: stands near the exit, holding her bag and trying to adjust the collar of her robe to where it's not so tight ::

ACZ: Well, if you think it'll work. And I know you'll back us up, since this is your ship and all.

ADM_Zuriyev>

Da, of course. Now on the lighter note - :: looks at T'Kirr :: How is your lovely wife?

<XO_Cdr_TKirr>

:: perks eyebrow, her hands at the small of her back :: ACZ: I'm fine, thank you.

<NAV_Cdr_Harper>

Lexy: Furanda!

<aCMO_Dr_Slade>

:: Standing right behind T'Lira starring at her wondering what she is thinking about::

<TAC_Cadet_Randen>

:: When released from the cell and given back his duffle bag, he pats 1LT Syvek on the shoulder. :: Syvek: Thank you, friend!

ADM_Zuriyev>

T'Kirr: Brooke won't stop talking about that tea you brought to dinner last time.

SEC_1LT_Syvek>

:: raises an eyebrow :: I am not your friend, Cadet.

<CSO_Lt_Wright>

:: clasps her hands together in front of her, smiling broadly :: Kate: Is that good?

<SCI_LtJG_TLira>

:: gives up on adjusting the robe, it will simply be as it is. :: aCMO: What would appear to be the better course of action, visiting the hotel first to place our bags in our rooms or going straight to a destination?

<SEC_Lt_Kuari>

:: grins broadly :: ENG: Sounds like my kind of shore leave. I think I'll just ask one of the officials what the rules are on air space and have at it myself.

<TAC_Cadet_Randen>

:: Shrugs. :: Thank you anyways.

<NAV_Cdr_Harper>

Lexy: Of course! It means beautiful. You must have went to so much trouble to do this!

SEC_1Lt_Syvek>

You are in serious trouble, Cadet. :: his Vulcan face looking even more serious than usual ::

<XO_Cdr_TKirr>

:: blinks before giving a polite bow of her head :: ACZ: I'm glad she's found it favorable.

<aCMO_Dr_Slade>

SCI: I think that the hotel would be the best course of action, best not to carry these around :: Motions to the bags::

<SCI_LtJG_TLira>

aCMO: Agreed. Shall we? :: gestures to the exit and the outdoors ::

ACZ: How are the kids?

<aCMO_Dr_Slade>

SCI: After you ma'am :: Smiles and winks::

<CSO_Lt_Wright>

:: blushes :: Kate: Sara! Am I saying that right?

<NAV_Cdr_Harper>

:: grins, her attempt admirable :: It is close!

<SCI_LtJG_TLira>

:: lifts an eyebrow and proceeds into the fresh air and to the hotel ::

ADM_Zuriyev>

:: smirks :: You've watched them grow so that they aren't kids anymore. Alexis has graduated and is now a Marine.

ADM_Zuriyev>

Ken is in medical school at the Academy.

<aCMO_Dr_Slade>

:: Follows watching her walk and enjoying the scenery::

:: smiles :: ACZ: How time flies.

<TAC_Cadet_Randen>

Syvek: For self defense? I think you're mistaken on who will be in trouble. :: Glares at the guards. ::

<CSO_Lt_Wright>

:: also grins :: Kate: Are you ready to go? I've got my rucksack sitting right outside.

ADM_Zuriyev>

Da, that it does. Alexis took after me and Ken took after his mother! :: laughs racuously ::

<ENG_LtJG_Ilaihr>

SEC: I shall see you soon. I must run off to the hotel first and change. ::Nods cordially, and disappears like a blue ninja.::

SEC_1LT_Syvek>

No, I am afraid that you are mistaken. Starfleet Officers are expected to maintain themselves with considerably more decorum than you have demonstrated. This incident will affect your Academy standing.

<SEC_Lt_Kuari>

:: waves as Ilaihr disappears and makes her way outside ::

<NAV_Cdr_Harper>

Lexy: I just need a few minutes to change.

<SCI_LtJG_TLira>

:: continues walking and tries to think of a suitable topic of discussion to "pass the time" ::

ACZ: Ain't that the way of things?

<CSO_Lt_Wright>

Kate: Sounds great! I'll be waiting right outside. :: flashes another warm smile as she turns to leave the room ::

<TAC_Cadet_Randen>

Syvek: Oh?

<SEC_Lt_Kuari>

:: finds the nearest Risan "official" and pegs him for airspace info ::

<aCMO_Dr_Slade>

SCI: So what would you like to do? I assume you are agreeable that we continue to spend the time together!

<NAV_Cdr_Harper>

:: darts into her bedroom with a wry grin and doffs the jeans/t-shirt combo, going back for her traditional garb ::

ADM_Zuriyev>

It is, of course. Know that I will fight to save your ship as best I can. At any rate, they'll decide quickly so I'll let you know. You two have fun on Risa or wherever you end up.

<CSO_Lt_Wright>

:: thinking to herself :: Self, quietly: That went well! Good start. Good start.

<SCI_LtJG_TLira>

aCMO: I believe that perhaps we consult a guide as to what the attractions are. Unless you have been to Risa before and know the area, as I do not. And yes, "spending time together", as you put it, is still agreeable.

<ENG_LtJG_Ilaihr>

::Ghosts passed Slade and T'lira. Walking at a calm pace, yet somehow fast.:: CMO/SCI: Doctor. Lieutenant.

SEC_1LT_Syvek>

Unfortunately, yes. It is my sincere desire that you succeed, and thus, learn from this incident.

<SCI_LtJG_TLira>

ENG: Lieutenant :: offers a polite nod in his direction ::

<aCMO_Dr_Slade>

ENG: Enjoy your vacation Lieutenant, dont forget your post leave physical :: Laughs::

<XO_Cdr_TKirr>

RisanOfficial>

:: eyes Kuari's wings :: Oh. Right. Well...transports have fly lanes, of course, but...recreational flying? Stay at least five kilometers away from towers with red lights on them. Respect balcony privacy, and...otherwise don't get reported as being a menace. :: smiles politely ::

<ENG_LtJG_Ilaihr>

CMO: You'll never catch me! ::He called back, now far away.::

<TAC_Cadet_Randen>

:: Nods. :: Syvek: What now?

<NAV_Cdr_Harper>

:: pulls on a sheer, translucent, flowing toga-like garment, sticks her feet into some sandals, and double checks her forehead ornament ::

<NAV_Cdr_Harper>

:: sticks her feet into some sandals, grabs her bag, and heads out to meet Lexy ::

SEC_1LT_Syvek>

You are free to go, for now. But you should expect word on disciplinary action from the Academy.

ACZ: Thanks, Alexi. I hope to see you and Brooke again soon.

<CSO_Lt_Wright>

:: standing outside with her rucksack slung over her shoulder :: Kate: You look lovely!

<SEC_Lt_Kuari>

RO: Great, thanks! :: nods to the Risan, hops up onto a railing meant to keep people out of plants in order to get space from the crowd leaving the cruise ship, and takes off over the people, fighting for lift ::

<TAC_Cadet_Randen>

Syvek: Yes Sir. :: Salutes the Vulcan and then goes to resume his vacation and checks into his hotel room. ::

<NAV_Cdr_Harper>

:: twirls, the flowing toga flares :: Lexy: Thank you! I really appreciate what you did.

<CSO_Lt_Wright>

:: blushes a little :: It was the least I could do, since you have so graciously invited me to be your guest here.

<SCI_LtJG_TLira>

:: reaches the hotel and turns :: aCMO: Shall we rendezvous here once we have placed our bags in our respective rooms?

<aCMO_Dr_Slade>

SCI: Why do we not request neighboring rooms so that we can contact one another when we are ready?

<NAV_Cdr_Harper>

Lexy: It is a bit more than the least you could do.

<SCI_LtJG_TLira>

:: muses over that :: aCMO: That would appear to be the most logical course of action.

1LT_Syvek>

:: watches the Cadet leave, wondering if he really will learn from this, but only time will tell.... ::

<CSO_Lt_Wright>

:: blushes harder and stares at her feet ::

<SEC_Lt_Kuari>

:: is completely exhilirated at open air, for it's been quite a while being cooped up on a ship and holodecks are only so cool, and soars past the front-end of the crowd, bellowing happily before rising higher ::

<aCMO_Dr_Slade>

SCI: Wow, I never assumed that I would suggest the logical decision to a vulcan

<aCMO_Dr_Slade>

:: Smiles::

<SCI_LtJG_TLira>

:: lifts an eyebrow :: aCMO: If I were you, I would relish this now, for it will be unlikely to happen again.

<NAV_Cdr_Harper>

Lexy: Come on then, enough dally-dillying!

<CSO_Lt_Wright>

:: looks up :: Kate: What? Oh, right! Lead the way!

<aCMO_Dr_Slade>

SCI: I think I will withdraw my previous comment, and just say I agree it is logical lets get our rooms! :: Smiles again::

<NAV_Cdr_Harper>

:: leads to the transporter room ::

<SCI_LtJG_TLira>

:: silently amused and certainly doesn't show it on her face :: aCMO: Agreed.

ADM_Zuriyev>

Take care, Ian, T'Kirr. Zuriyev out.

::: the Federation logo replaces the bald Admiral ::

<XO_Cdr_TKirr>

:: looks from the now logo-ized screen to Blackthorne ::

<CSO_Lt_Wright>

:: follows along, glancing at the swish of Kate's hips in her traditional garb ::

<ENG_LtJG_Ilaihr>

::Is already in his room, freshening up. Changing out of his uniform, and into his black and white pin-striped suit, black shirt, a pink tie, some snazzy leather shoes and a pimp black and white striped trilby.::

T'Kirr: I could sense that he was confident, at least.

<SCI_LtJG_TLira>

:: strides up to the front desk and politely waits for a receptionist ::

<CSO_Lt_Wright>

:: is just observing... for science ::

<NAV_Cdr_Harper>

:: enters the transporter room :: TChief>

Suraya Bay, I asssume? :: without looking up ::

<XO_Cdr_TKirr>

Ian: As could I. We've done our part and must not worry on it. I believe meditation is in order.

<NAV_Cdr_Harper>

TC: No, not for us.

<TAC_Cadet_Randen>

:: Unpacks his duffel bag and pulls up the events scedule at his console. He decides on lounging by the pool and reading a PADD. ::

<NAV_Cdr_Harper>

TC>

:: looks up, then looks Kate up and down, then again since the toga isn't hiding her skimpy clothing underneath :: Oh, you're Risan! Where would you like to go?

<SEC_Lt_Kuari>

:: flies over tropical greenery and beautiful buildings nestled into hills, taking in the increasingly ascending view ::

<NAV_Cdr_Harper>

TC: It is a small town about 200 kilometers up the coast from Suraya. Lunat Bay.

T'Kirr: I could never have imagined me meditating before I met you. Where shall we?

<aCMO_Dr_Slade>

Receptionist>

SCI: Hello and welcome, How might i be of service to you?

<NAV_Cdr_Harper>

TC>

:: looks it up on the map, following the coast :: Ah yes, there it is.

<SCI_LtJG_TLira>

Receptionist: Greetings. I am searching for a pair of adjacent rooms. Are there any available?

<NAV_Cdr_Harper>

TC>

Step right up, ladies!

<CSO_Lt_Wright>

:: steps up, smiling at the TC and then at Kate ::

<NAV_Cdr_Harper>

TC>

:: smiles a bit too much at the pretty ladies as Kate steps up on the pad ::

<NAV_Cdr_Harper>

TC: Energize.

<NAV_Cdr_Harper>

:: shimmers away ::

<aCMO_Dr_Slade>

Receptionist>

SCI: I believe that we have a two room suite, but unfortunately we do not have any adjacent rooms available at the moment.

<CSO_Lt_Wright>

:: also shimmers away ::

<ENG_LtJG_Ilaihr>

::Pulls a two wooden poles and a metal jewelly from the back; he screwed them together and formed a cane, with an old Andorian insignia on top of the metal. A memory of the ship he was frozen on.::

<SCI_LtJG_TLira>

:: lifts an eyebrow :: aCMO: What would be the best option? :: totally clueless about what to do here ::

<XO_Cdr_TKirr>

Ian: Let us get to our room on the southern coast. It will be easier to relax once we're settled.

<NAV_Cdr_Harper>

:: appears on the main street of a tiny seaside village, with shops, B&Bs, and more affluent tourist attractions, since they're well away from the usual stops ::

<TAC_Cadet_Randen>

:: A peddlar comes by and offers to seel him a cool looking statue. He takes one as a souvenir. Studies it for a bit before placing it on the table next to the lounge chair and continues reading. ::

<CSO_Lt_Wright>

:: looks around with great interest ::

T'Kirr: You actually thought to book us a room? We're usually so bad about shore leave planning;

<NAV_Cdr_Harper>

Lexy: This is Lunat Bay. My hometown.

<CSO_Lt_Wright>

Kate: It's charming!

<aCMO_Dr_Slade>

Receptionist: Are the rooms in the suite seperatte and not adjoining? :: Asking so that she gains some reassurance::

<ENG_LtJG_Ilaihr>

::Splashes a bit of musk on, and struts out of his room; straight out of a 1950s novel.::

<aCMO_Dr_Slade>

Receptionist>

aCMO: Yes each room in the suite has its own lavatory and does not connect with the other, except for the common area.

<NAV_Cdr_Harper>

:: looks around, it having been a while since she was here :: Lexy: You know, it really is. I did not appreciate it as much growing up.

<XO_Cdr_TKirr>

Ian: I had to arrange something until we gave it more thought. You had enough on your mind. It's my duty to think of what you do not.

T'Kirr: That's true, I suppose. Let's go then.

<XO_Cdr_TKirr>

:: picks up her bag from near the door ::

:: pulls on his beaten up jacket and A-frames, then grabs his bag and shoulders it ::

<CSO_Lt_Wright>

:: turns around in a full 360, taking in the signs and then turns to Kate :: Where to from here?

<NAV_Cdr_Harper>

:: deeply inhales, savoring the fresh salt air :: Lexy: This way. :: nods up the street :

<aCMO_Dr_Slade>

SCI: I think that is acceptable, if it is for you?

<SCI_LtJG_TLira>

:: runs over a brief mental list of pros and cons before deciding :: aCMO: It will be acceptable.

<CSO_Lt_Wright>

:: tries not to look at Kate too much, because that diaphanous outfit is very... distracting ... and walks side by side up the street with Kate ::

<XO_Cdr_TKirr>

:: walks with Ian through the ship towards the exit where all of Risa awaits ::

<ENG_LtJG_Ilaihr>

::Walks out of the hotel, and towards the nearest bar on the beach for a stiff drink. Removes his spectacles with the little sunglasses attachment from his pocket and puts them on upon hitting the sunlight again.::

T'Kirr: I honestly don't know if I can really relax after all of that.

<XO_Cdr_TKirr>

Ian: That is the point of meditation--to assist you.

<NAV_Cdr_Harper>

:: as they pass stores displaying horga'hn :: You should probably not buy any of those statues unless you understand their meaning.

<aCMO_Dr_Slade>

Receptionist>

SCI/aCMO: I hope that it will be a very enjoyable experience to both of you. :: Hands them both keys to the suite and gestures towards the lifts::

T'Kirr: Of course, it takes the logical Vulcan to calm the basketcase Betazoid down.

<SCI_LtJG_TLira>

:: accepts the key and heads towards the lift, trying not to feel awkward about this. It is simply a... room arrangement ::

<CSO_Lt_Wright>

Kate: Oh, those are... oh. :: blushes yet again ::

<XO_Cdr_TKirr>

Ian: Exactly. I will help you not feel so much.

<NAV_Cdr_Harper>

Lexy: Tourists commonly get caught by that one.

T'Kirr: I would like that. :: enters the TR ::

<aCMO_Dr_Slade>

:: Follows behind her, and grabs her hand to show her that his intentions are honorable::

<ENG_LtJG_Ilaihr>

Self: I shall buy a Horga'hn later. ::Grins to himself.::

<SCI_LtJG_TLira>

:: accepts his hand and is still mildly nervous, but mostly assured ::

<ENG_LtJG_Ilaihr>

::Twirls his cane.::

<TAC_Cadet_Randen>

:: A woman comes up to him and asks if he's seeking jamaharon. He asks :: What is that?

<CSO_Lt_Wright>

Kate: I'm glad I have you here to make me into ... less of a tourist.

<NAV_Cdr_Harper>

Lexy: Well, that is a nice side-effect; you get to see the way Risa was before it turned into a resort. But it was not why I invited you.

<CSO_Lt_Wright>

Kate: Why did you invite me, then?

Jack Cahalan>

:: relaxing at a beachside bar in a Hawaiian shirt and a sliiiiick hat, drinking for once instead of serving ::

<XO_Cdr_TKirr>

:: gives the TR attendant the coordinates of their resort ::

<NAV_Cdr_Harper>

Lexy: Because I enjoy spending time with you.

TC>

:: files them under tourist and sets the coordinates :: Step right up.

<ENG_LtJG_Ilaihr>

::Notices Jack, tipping his hat to him, before grabbing a corner table staring out at the sea.::

Jack>

::: tips his sliiiiiick hat back ::

<TAC_Cadet_Randen>

:: She explains it and the horga'hn he had displayed. :: Not actively... although I'm not opposed to it either. :: She asks if he has a room. :: Hold that thought, I sould check with my Doctor. Protocol. aCMO: Dr. Slade, would interspecies relations between a Zaldan and a Risian be safe?

<CSO_Lt_Wright>

:: still hasn't stopped blushing from before :: Kate: I... really like spending time with you, too.

<NAV_Cdr_Harper>

:: her parents' business in sight ahead, she stops and turns toward the sea a minute ::

<CSO_Lt_Wright>

:: stops, turns, and looks at the sea, somewhat confused ::

<TAC_Cadet_Randen>

:: She explains it and the horga'hn he had displayed. :: Not actively... although I'm not opposed to it either. :: She asks if he has a room. :: Hold that thought, I should check with my Doctor. Protocol. *aCMO* Dr. Slade, would interspecies relations between a Zaldan and a Risian be safe?

<NAV_Cdr_Harper>

Lexy: Lexy... each time I somehow survive something that should have killed me, I do at least seem to have some realizations on the important things in life.

<CSO_Lt_Wright>

:: nods at Kate, waiting for her to continue ::

<SCI_LtJG_TLira>

:: stands in the lift, debating whether or not to change out of this annoying robe and into something more comfortable ::

<aCMO_Dr_Slade>

*TAC*: Cadet, for the sheer fact that I want to enjoy this vacation I will not ask why. Interspecies relations is safe for a pleasureable course of action but not for procreation. From now on consult a PADD unless you have a medical emergency Slade out

<NAV_Cdr_Harper>

:: turns from her native shores to look at Wright :: Lexy: One of those things is to be sure that those close to you know how you feel about them. I would not have invited anyone else, and after that ordeal, even more so.

<ENG_LtJG_Ilaihr>

::Flags down a waiter to order a beverage.:: Waiter: Good sir; I would like... you know what... surprise me. Something different and unexpected... don't be afraid to concoct something with a 90% alcohol content.

<SEC_Lt_Kuari>

:: flies until she's probably overdone it in her excitement and lands in a towering tree in what could be an animal preserve ::

<SCI_LtJG_TLira>

:: hears the comm call and is confused, yet amused, all at once. A most intriguing combination of emotions ::

:: steps up on the transporter pad ::

Jack>

:: leans back under the slick hat and sips at his drink, just watching the room ::

<XO_Cdr_TKirr>

:: follows ::

:: shimmers away with T'Kirr ::

<aCMO_Dr_Slade>

SCI: My apologies

<SCI_LtJG_TLira>

aCMO: No need. I fail to see why he called you with such a question, but cadets are often confused when on what may be their first shore leave.

<CSO_Lt_Wright>

:: her heart is trilling inside her chest :: Kate: Then... I'm truly honored. Though I don't know what makes me so special.

<XO_Cdr_TKirr>

:: appears with Ian in a posh lobby with three-story ceilings, the decor clearly showing off the upper class resort with three wall a glassed view of the ocean ::

:: looks around :: Very nice.

<aCMO_Dr_Slade>

SCI: I can understand, my first assignment when I came to Atlantis was shore leave. That is where i met Tav!

<SCI_LtJG_TLira>

aCMO: That was when you first came aboard? Fascinating. I was unaware of that. Granted, I was otherwise occupied. :: the lifts arrives at the proper floor :: I believe this is our stop?

<NAV_Cdr_Harper>

Lexy: The best people generally do not know or dwell on it. But you are.

<ENG_LtJG_Ilaihr>

::Retrieves his pipe and tobacco tin. After filling the pipe, he strikes a match and lights it. Slowly puffing away whilst the waiter gets his drink.::

<XO_Cdr_TKirr>

:: reaches reception and obtains their keys for a third-story floor ::

:: grabs T'Kirr's bag when she puts it down to deal with reception ::

<aCMO_Dr_Slade>

SCI: Yes, it is us we are to the left

<CSO_Lt_Wright>

Kate: You're pretty amazing yourself, do you know that?

<XO_Cdr_TKirr>

:: finds her bag gone and perks a brow at Ian, but he knows it's in amusement ::

<SCI_LtJG_TLira>

:: nods and looks at each room number as she moves past the room, searching for the right one ::

<NAV_Cdr_Harper>

:: smiles :: Lexy: Thank you. This is what I mean. Let those close know your feelings while you can.

<TAC_Cadet_Randen>

:: Looks through his PADD, sure enough the information was there. :: Ohhh. :: He grabs the horga'hn and allows the lady to hold his arm as he shows her to him room. ::

<CSO_Lt_Wright>

:: pauses at Kate's words, slightly troubled ::

<SEC_Lt_Kuari>

:: holds her wings out carefully :: Self: Ouch...I really gotta keep in practice.

<ENG_LtJG_Ilaihr>

::The waiter eventually comes with the drink in a tall glass. What was in it can only be described as a devil's brew of spirits. Ilaihr was unsure as to the full extent; but there was Romulan ale undoubtedly, some honey run and maybe a dash of vermouth... but there were other things, that even he couldn't put his finger on.::

<SCI_LtJG_TLira>

:: finally finds the right room and unlocks it, stepping inside ::

<NAV_Cdr_Harper>

Lexy: It does not take an empath to know that something troubles you, yes?

<CSO_Lt_Wright>

:: Slowly :: Kate: What if you're... not sure what your feelings are? Or if you're not sure how they'll be received?

<CSO_Lt_Wright>

:: avoiding eye contact ::

<SCI_LtJG_TLira>

Self: Most... intriguing... :: looks around the suite ::

<aCMO_Dr_Slade>

:: Follows into the room and is in awe at the beauty of the space::

<ENG_LtJG_Ilaihr>

::Sips his drink. It's powerful, but so's he. No matter how much it bites, it shall not deter or defeat him.::

::: schleps the bags into the lift ::

<NAV_Cdr_Harper>

Lexy: Well, only you can answer your first question. As to the second, it is an age-old question, yes? A true friend will not judge you for them.

<SCI_LtJG_TLira>

:: walks into the middle of the room and looks back and forth between the two bedroom doors :: aCMO: Which one would you prefer? :: not sure if that was remotely proper or unawkward ::

<aCMO_Dr_Slade>

SCI: I have no preference, they are bother gorgeous, but in the interest of saving time ill take the left one over here :: Motions to the room he is closes to::

<SCI_LtJG_TLira>

aCMO: Very well. I will opt for the one on the right. :: wastes no time in entering the room and setting her bag on her bed. This would certainly be an interesting vacation ::

<aCMO_Dr_Slade>

:: Goes into the room and opens his bag immediatly removing his uniform and Comm Badge. Donning a t shirt and swim trunks ::

:: exits it to find their room ::

<XO_Cdr_TKirr>

Ian: Stairs or lift?

<XO_Cdr_TKirr>

(( nevermind ))

<XO_Cdr_TKirr>

:: walks with Ian towards their number ::'

<SCI_LtJG_TLira>

:: goes through her bag and finds something she hopes will be decent for Risa. A simple flowing blouse and a pair of... were these shorts? Either way, much better than this clearly ill-adjusted traditional robe ::

<aCMO_Dr_Slade>

::Exits the room:: SCI: So now that I am out of uniform may i speak frankly?

<SCI_LtJG_TLira>

:: steps into the common room :: aCMO: I do not see how attire would change your freedom to express your opinion.

<ENG_LtJG_Ilaihr>

::Finishes his drink. Laughs triumphantly as he slays the beast. Waves down the waiter again.:: Waiter: I'll have a Saurian Brandy please my boy.

<aCMO_Dr_Slade>

:: As she walks through the door he changes his mind from complaining about the war and blurts: SCI: Oh my stars you are beautiful!!!!!

<ENG_LtJG_Ilaihr>

::Continues to puff his pipe.::

<SCI_LtJG_TLira>

:: startled and trying her damndest to keep a calm face :: aCMO: I... thank you. :: just flat out decides to go with the flow from here on out. It saves time on later meditations ::

<CSO_Lt_Wright>

Kate: The truth is... :: draws circles in the dirt with the toe of her sandal :: The truth is that I really care about you. Maybe as... more than just a friend. But our friendship is more important to me and I don't want to lose it even if you don't feel the same way.

<aCMO_Dr_Slade>

::Stares at her gazing from foot to head:: SCI: I have to be the luckiest man in the universe right now!
