“You can be sure I will,” Koraia said with a nod. “As for dinner, I have an idea…”

Moving back to her desk, she bent forward at the hips and fiddled with something on her computer console. “Okay… I was able to sneak in a booking for Holosuite Two at 1900 hours. It fits for me and should give you enough time to take care of the essentials without running yourself ragged. Meet me there and I’ll cook you dinner…” she said, her pale amber eyes holding a hint of mischief.

“Alright,” Luka said a little uncertainly, tilting her head. She was intrigued. “Is that all, Captain, or is there anything else you’d like to discuss with me before I go check in with Medical and Counseling?” She asked. Koraia was, like most people Luka had met, an interesting mystery. Perhaps it was simply a shared trait of all intelligent beings, to be fascinating enigmas. The complexity of life and consciousness certainly lent itself to such a fact.

“We’re done here,” Koraia replied.

“Oh, there is one thing I should mention. I have a pet, Mukin. He is an animal from Galdor, and he is well trained. Given this vessel’s capacity to house a civilian population, I hope my small animal will not cause issues?” She fiddled with her URI for a moment and a photo of the animal appeared on the display, which Luka held out towards Ghubari. The animal looked like a rabbit at first glance, but the face was structured a little differently, and it had wings. “Here, there’s a photo of him. If it is a problem, I can have him sent back to Galdor to my family…”

Ghubari’s expression then was unreadable, even for those who might have been more adept at it. Inwardly she had to force herself to take a calming breath. You know it’ll be a process, she reminded herself. She knew instinctually that Nico was well, but other than that, her ability to know anything about her companion had been severed. It wasn’t like when she had literally lost a limb, but she still felt his absence and missed the cheeky treecat’s antics. Eventually, she would get used to it, but for now, these small reminders were tiny gut punches that made her have to focus and steady herself. “No, it’s totally fine,” she said softly, her voice filled with more emotion than she wished. Mukin is welcome here,” she said more confidently.

Luka nodded and stood up. She stopped for a moment before she left, placing her hand over her larger heart. “May your hearts beat strongly, and your love grow wide,” she said, bringing her hand down in a sweeping motion towards the captain. “A traditional greeting of my people, but it can also be used as a farewell,” she explained.

Rising, Koraia repeated the gesture with a bow of her head. “May yours hearts beat strongly, and your love grow wide,” she said with curiosity and confidence. She’d have to ask more details about the greeting and she suspected that the file(s) Luka gave her would be rather enlightening.
