Stark laughed a little, something that was rare and for those who didn’t like the sight of sharp canines sometimes a little disturbing, “I think I’d like to try billiards, I’ve never tried either but I’d like to think I’m a quick study”.

He glanced at each in turn, and then both his brows rose in unison in a very Vulcan expression of pleasant surprise. “I believe Billiards might be a good decision…” Va’rek began, turning his eyes back to Stark. “and No, I do not count cards. However, I can do math quite well.” This was another of his subtle jests. The Vulcan was beginning to feel almost as if he were part of a group now. It was an interesting experience. His eye returned to Jessica where they probably stayed a little longer than they should’ve, but he covered that by pretending to be surprised there was still Brandy in his tumbler, and taking a sip.

Jessica couldn’t resist and deadpanned at Va’rek. “Really? You can do math quite well? I never would have guessed…” She held the purposefully blank expression for a second or two before her features dissolved into a giggle and then her attention focused back on the group. She nudged her chair back and stood up decisively. “Well, it sounds like we have a plan. I assume we’re heading to the holodeck?” She noticed Va’rek take another sip of his brandy and leaned down to peer into his glass. “You better finish all of that, it’ll help,” she commented with another quick, impish grin.

Orvos raised an eyebrow, not having thought of the holodeck before. “Your choice really. We could go to the holodeck and create a simulated environment, or we could go to the recreation hall which is just adjacent to 17/18 Forward. We could probably move our food and drinks there too if you like. The recreation hall has various games, two tennis tables, two pool tables, a small pool, bowling lanes and a beverage bar. And others might decide to join in should they find our antics amusing, eh?”
Lt. Orvos Legen, CE
Jessica shrugged casually. “That works too. This ship is way bigger than my last assignment, so I always forget about the various bells and whistles,” she commented with a grin. “It looks like we might need a refill for the drinks, though,” she added on, her tone amusingly innocent. She side-stepped behind Va’rek’s chair until she had entered the space between the tables and then bounced slightly on her toes as she waited for the others to stand and join her. “Lead the way,” she instructed to the CE with an eager smile.

Stark unfolded himself from the seat coming upright in a fluid motion and waited for the others, eyes watchful.

Va’rek stood up as well, coming upright in a less smooth motion. He was feeling overwhelmed again, but now that he’d eaten his coloring was better. “I think Billiards is something I would like to try…” He said, squeezing his way out from his seat and standing aside to follow the others.
Social interactions were still quite puzzling. The Vulcan wondered if he were perhaps reading too deeply into the small cues the others were using. Expressions, body language. It seemed to him like trying to speak several languages at once. It wasn’t impossible, but it was difficult for someone not versed in such things. Fighting the impulse to let his expression go slack, he raised a brow and tried to make his face communicate the interest he felt in the game.
