: : : : : : "Or you can get them drunk." James grinned. "Not that I'd ever do anything like that." He stroked her hair absent mindedly. "If it helps, I think that after everything you went through, you came out great hon."

: : : : : "It's all a front," Tamar said knowing that what she was sharing would be a savory morsel for the counselor. "I still have nightmares about the things that happened and I can't stand to be in small places. I don't show it because that would be admitting defeat, but it's always there waiting to pull me back to a time when I was helpless and alone. "

: : : : James smiled a knowing smile. "Me too. All the swagger and the hubris and rumours, designed to keep people at a distance and keep me in a place where I can feel safe. Now though..." he paused for a moment, "We don't have to be alone."

: "Yes, but I would like something to eat with it other wise I'm liable to get drunk," Tamar said finally getting used to the bubbles that tickled her nose. The champagne was stronger than the Bajoran Spring Wine she was used to drinking and the effects of the drink may already be taking hold of the doctor as her eyes had developed a smoldering look and it seemed to her that the universe James created was beginning to spin a little faster.

"Mmm!" James intoned and looked thoughtful. "What's good in zero-gravity... Actually, let's say scrap the zero-g, and we can go back to my place and we can make use of a table and some real food. Well... replicated food... real enough I guess. Sound good?" he asked, surrupticiously trying to catch one of his orbiting shoes with a toe.
