Having caught his eyes Kala smiled politely back and turn found herself suddenly feeling conscious of that one bit of hair that had fallen in front of her face so she tucked it away behind her left ear. “I’d love to try some,” She said reaching over for the cut sandwich and trying it almost immediately. It was something she hadn’t tried before and she wasn’t a fan of the tomato, but the sauce and the chicken was a nice combination. “Not quite my cup of tea so they say but its nice,” She said having just finished her bite. “Well if you’re bored you can come help me in the lab, I’m currently doing an experiment on a plant which has a very unique ability. That’s what I’ve doing when I’m excited I can’t sleep which is why you get to share this lovely opportunity with me, and me with you.”
~Ens. Kala Gorvel.“Yeah I prefer more stuff from my heritage than this… this Sandwich. It is funny how the first time I tasted it I was kinda embarrassed to say it sucked to the cook. But then, well I enjoyed it.” Guy said “it was more than 10 years ago, when I was still 20. Ugh, a very young Guy a different one.” He kept telling Kala remembering his past, about his experience on Earth. Then as he ate the last bit of his beloved mediocre sandwich, Guy drank the last half of the orange juice that was still there since he left the glass on the table and looked straight to the sky and said “Yeah I am pretty bored. Even thought, I always loved this view and it usually filled my boredom time to time. Ugh I hate to say it but let’s try this… plant experiment? Why not?” He half-smiled to the beautiful woman that was on the other side of the grey thick table.
“Its still a nice sandwich though, just not a Kala sandwich.” she said almost too excitedly as the prospect of sharing her unique plant with someone, the plant that a Tellarite scientist had given her the seeds for in maybe a nit so fair gae of poker. “I cant wait to show you, ive been wanting to show someone for days and im glad its you!” She exclaimed standing up and before she reached her tray something she wasnt used to happened.
Guy stood up and took His and Kala’s tray to the replicator, as the gentleman’s etiquette dictated so. Beforehand, he never joined any particularly exciting experiments and to be honest, the curiosity of the Counselor regarding whatever the Officer was talking about was pretty low. But as he would have started to notice slowly, he felt comfortable around her company and almost felt like a friendship or whatever they called it was just born.
“Let’s go? You can lead the way.” He said cleaning his uniform and keeping his usual cold expression to avoid losing the already trained jerky face. What a stupid!Lieutenant Freeman, Guy - Chief Counselor Officer
“Sure, this way!” Smiling at the offer to lead Kala turned and made her way across the quiet and empty space before leaving through the doors, the coridoors mirrored the mess hall and during thier journey only passed a small handful of crewman. About half way she turned and asked”You said about being a different Guy, what do you mean?” Her tone filled with curiouity and her eyebrows furrowed.

Walking through the alleys, the chill and the soft rumble of the night shift was a soothing pleasure to hear. Then as the Ensign asked the question, Guy stopped and made a surprise moan, caught off guard “Uh…” he paused a second “I- I mean it was a different time. Just that…” for the third time, Guy was kinda placed uncomfortable and was undecided whether being truthful or back-up go some sort of excuse “I was an intrepid individual. At that time I was still studying at the medical school and… and I loved it. I truly loved it.” He resumed walking while watching Kala’s eyes once again “Then,” he moved his sight forward “My parents just removed my dreams of being medic and I was forced into Starfleet. At least I could continue my studies there, I said. I was wrong… for some time I was chosen as scientist. Then moved as counselor. I hated the time after Starfleet… tho it has nice beddings and I cannot argue with the food.”
The Lieutenant returned silent, and looked his feet as one preceded the other. Once he looked up again, Guy asked Kala “Ms. Kala, tell me about this plant…”
