S’Raal and T’Pon continued to listen attentively not wanting to break the flow of the conversation.

OOC Truth is I forgot they were there :-) Endofschoolitus.

“Yes, I think I can see your point on that. Even so, I love my job and the offer stands for all.” she said glancing at T’Pon and S’Raal.

Marishka had a feeling they wouldn’t need her in that way but she wanted to get to know them none the less.

OOC: Ha, I knew you forgot. I feel sooooo unloved. LOL

• Marihska

OOC Oops! Sigh…
IC “Noted” S’Raal said with a smile, “Life for us is a little slow for us at the moment, the lack of impending doom lately has seriously taxed our need to be out and about”.

T’Pon patted her expanding girth and gave a small smile, “The out isn’t much of an issue for me presently but the aboutis certainly becoming more difficult”

Marishka wanted to get to know T’Pon and S’Raal. T’Pon had an interesting job and Julien had mentioned S’Raal’s name. It didn’t hurt that Marishka was the bartender.

“Well, whenever you’re out and about you always have a table here. I’ve heard you have an amazing arboretum T’Pon. Do you have anything interesting and unique? I’m looking for some flora to liven up the place.” Marishka said.

• Marishka

Kin visibly perked up at the mention of gardens and her attention fell on the couple.

Kin, Security

T’Pon’s smile broadened seeming slightly out of place on her Vulcan visage. “The arboretum is a joy to work in and I’m building quite a collection of plants from across the quadrant. Getting them to work together is somewhat of a task but I enjoy the challenge. I’d be happy to work with you on some specimens to put in this space. I have some that give off a very pleasant aroma including a rare variety of Rikka flower from the Taresian system in the Delta Quadrant.”

T’Pon

Marishka couldn’t remember what color the Rikka flower was but that didn’t matter.

“Oh yes, I’m thinking the more exotic and luxurious the better and. perhaps, some things that you might find on Earth in the region of Greece. Dwarf olive trees, lemon trees, that type of thing. It sounds like you have quite an interesting puzzle. I’m going to have to take a walk there one of these nights when I can’t sleep.” Marishka decided.

• Marishka

“I think I can accommodate you there,” T’Pon said with a nod of her head, “both with the trees and with a stroll through the place. I’ve set it up so that it affords plenty of private contemplative spaces. Security had a bit of an issue with some aspects of my design until I pointed out that my nook and crannies are no easier to hide in than a handy Jeffries tube.”

T’Pon Groundskeeper.

“If I may impose, …” interjected Kin, “… I would like to join you as well. My parents are the custodians of the Alvera Trees in front of the Hall of Diplomacy on my home world, and plants have always been a fondness of mine.”

“You would be welcome” T’Pon said warmly.

Familiar eyes with a familiar smile in a familiar uniform walked out of the bar with none the wiser that the mind behind the face was not the person they knew. The imposter walked down the corridor towards the turbolift and making sure that no one entered at the same time spoke the words that would take them to their next destination, and their next target.

“And right you are. I’m all for having a secure ship but I think security should be invisible. Maybe they just cramp my style.” Marishka said with a sassy smile, “I’ll be interested to see what you can do for this place and, on another front, I like to make my own perfume. I’ve found that replicated scents just don’t do me justice. It was something I learned very young and I enjoy it very much. You could probably help me with that too, but I’m not sure whaty I’m looking for. Something different.”

As Marishka finished she glanced around the establishment again, which was a habit of her’s. The comings and goings of this place were quite important to her.

• Marishka

Kurok, the Vulcan engineer, once again appeared at Marishka’s side silently. “Your replicators are in working order once again. If you are sure your sonic shower does not need adjusting, I will make my leave back to engineering.”

-Kurok

Kin, Security

Marishka looked up at Kurok, a slow smile spreading across her face.

“I’m sure the replicators are working fabulously thank you. As for my shower, the chief will have to come find out about that one personally and he knows it but, I appreciate your diligence.” she said kindly.

• Marishka

S’Raal watched the interplay and smiled. Here was a woman who knew what she wanted and knew how to get it. He realized that T’Pon was smiling too, their eyes met and she nodded. T’Pon spoke up “Having difficulties with Orvos?” she asked with a carefully sculpted neutral tone.

T’Pon and S’Raal

Marishka turned back to T’Pon and S’Raal with a laugh.

“Oh please tell me I’m not the only one.” she said in a low confidential tone, “He’s been quite problematic since the moment I walked into this place.” she explained.

• Marishka

S’Raal smiled his half smile and chuckled, “Orvos is a planner, a strategist, borderline OCD with a penchant for being in charge I’m not surprised in the slightest that you and he are creating some friction, your extemporaneous style would drive him somewhat nutty”.

Marishka laughed again.

Was that a compliment? she thought.

“Ooo. Then I’m doing something right. Did you know I had to jump in the bar to get that man’s attention?” she paused and signaled for another round of whatever everyone was drinking, “And then he had the gall to refer to me as an entertainer when asking who I was.” she said with a completely astounded look on her face.

• Marishka

“When worlds collide,” T’Pon said with a chuckle and sly look at S’Raal, “I know all about that. Considering the different cultures, experiences and upbringing we’ve all had it’s nothing short of a miracle we can carry a conversation to it’s conclusion without a misunderstanding”.

T’Pon (Groundskeeper)

Kin nodded. “Many of my people still believe that our courtesy traditions are what set us apart, makes us… well… ‘better’ than many. Since joining Star Fleet, I have found those traditions are actually serving to isolate us more and more.”

Kin, Security

Marishka raised an eyebrow at T’Pon’s comment. It was a curious thought indeed.

“I think personal cultural traditions and what is widely accepted in mixed company can be like walking a fine line. Truthfully I find it exhausting sometimes.” she said with a sigh.

• Marishka

T’Pon listened to the comments being made and nodded, “My father used to say, you have two ears and one mouth so that you’ll listen twice as much as you speak. It doesn’t hold for all species obviously but the intent of the saying still rings true. I find the more I discover about other cultures the more I understand my own and can adjust accordingly”.
