“Cheers!” Gavin said, sipping from his drink. “You know, I don’t doubt she’s armed in some way, but I tell you ever since we were kids, all Shara needed was her death stare. Damn right intimidating that. It’s not improved in all these years,” he said with a grin.
Two women approached and the older one, with darker skin and ebony eyes, slipped a hand on Gavin’s shoulder. “Have we started talking shop yet?” she asked innocently, though her eyes gleamed.
“Oh give me some credit, Love,” Gavin said, kissing her on the cheek and then grinning. “I’m not here as a Captain, despite the uniform.”
“She’s just being realistic,” the younger woman said.
Gavin laughed openly and shook his head. “Outnumbered entirely here. Captain Alexander Cochrane, Revna McKenzie, this is my wife Taleel and my daughter Lahala.”
Revna turned her gaze on the two women and smiled. “L’kash-em solir-e. Morblas fal aelas.” (Much joy and peace on this happy occasion.) For the second time that day the women were greeted in Betazoid along with the familiar facial and small hand gestures. “It is a pleasure to meet you both.”
McKenzie, DA
Taleel beamed. “Such a lovely welcome we’ve had, thank you,” she said, bowing her head.
“A true pleasure. Welcome to the Manhattan.” Alex said and shook their hands in turn.
“You have a lovely ship, Captain,” Lahala said. “Daggum gave us a bit of a tour earlier and it’s very impressive.”
“Thank you. She is a true wonder.”
“And we’ve seen a few over the years,” Taleel added before turning to her husband with mock concern. “Not that the Hampton isn’t just as lovely.”
“You wound me,” Gavin deadpanned.

Alex smiled. “The Hampton is a fine vessel. I saw her…” and he thought for a moment and then said “… six or so years ago. DS Five. She was the last Star Fleet vessel I did a Security inspection on at the station before leaving for the Klingon War College. Beautiful ship.”
Cochrane, CO
Gavin grinned. “I took over as CO three years ago. I’ve been enjoying the ship. Great crew, then again we captains are always biased,” he said with a laugh.
The speakers by the dance floor sounded and Nadine was holding a microphone. “Good evening everyone, our bride and groom will return momentarily, so if you want to all find your seats I think we should give them a proper welcome to their reception.”
Shara wasn’t far so found her chair, waiting for Micah to join her.
