Emmy mostly silently joined the group at the buffet table, quietly listening in on their conversation as she surveyed the options herself.
Davis, CO
Eric came over to the buffet table, and saw the Captain listening. He smiled to himself, having picked up quite a bit on his CO’s personality, and knowing how to fill the gap, so to speak, as her XO. That being said, even a short conversation with Davis might be a good idea…
“Captain,” Eric said in greeting, as picked up a small appetizer from the table. “It’s a good to see a former cadet take on new responsibilities in Starfleet. A sense that we didn’t mess up too badly in training him…”

“I do see what appears to be see some Gespar. But from my experience, most replicated versions are not quite the same. It looses the freshness that is key to the fruit,” Sapeth said as he eyed some of the other dishes. It was one thing about humans, they sometimes liked to hide certain animal based products within their food items. It was simpler at times like this to just avoid the food options, instead of trying to figure out out what would be appropriate to consume or not.
“Captain, Commander,” Sapeth said inclining his head towards them. “Commander, I’m glad to see that you survived the last predicament mostly unscathed.”

Kyle saw the Commander walking over to the buffet table and gave him a friendly nod, “Evening Commander,” he said formally.

Vanessa’s smile widened as the captain and the first officer joined them. “A fantastic send-off, Captain,” she commended Davis, looking around the room. “The graduates appear to be enjoying themselves, and it brings the whole crew together giving them all a sense of pride in the graduates’ accomplishments.”
She sipped the punch and eyed the gespar that Sapeth had pointed out. “It may not be exactly the same,” she said, lifting a piece of the red fruit, “but this will be better than not ever having it, yes?” She popped the fruit into her mouth, chewed once and then blinked. She finished chewing and swallowed.
“That was more tart than I was expecting,” she laughed, but picked up another piece. “I will need to try some fresh,” she agreed. “I wonder if any could be grown in the arboretum?”
Later, as the crowd dwindled, Vanessa approached Commander Holmman. “Good evening Commander,” she greeted him, and paused, studying his face. “It was a difficult situation you found yourself in,” she said softly. “And from all reports, you handled yourself well. But if you would like to talk about… I am always available.”
