She knew what it was instantly and Faye shook her head. “Oh Alex, you beautiful havam.” She carefully lifted the stone up and waggled her brows at Daggum. “All the drinks for me, forever more. I do think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship, don’t you?” she said, her pale grey-green eyes gleaming.

Daggum looked at her through narrowed eyes and said “What is that? And why are strange Klingons gifting you jewelry? Or is this a ‘Just roll with it, darling.’ moment?” and he chuckled. He looked at the Caotain and said “Would you and your crew care to christen our voyage with a drink with us?” Mal’tek inclined his head slightly and said “We are never ones to turn down a friendly libation.”In a few minutes, the crew had assembled and all present had a glass in their hand. Mal’tek smiled and said “To our new guests, and to their recent nuptials. Congratulations, and welcome aboard!” and the crew raised their glasses to the newlyweds.

Faye took a moment to pop the stone in the glass and winked at Daggum before taking a sip. Of alcohol. The thing she wasn’t supposed to have. Technically, the moratorium had been self-prescribed but she had held true. Drinking tended to happen when she was really happy, or really upset, and strong emotions tended to cloud her mind. But now it wasn’t a concern. She sipped the drink after it fizzled and leaned in towards her husband. “The stone absorbs the alcohol. It’s why I could drink the champagne at the wedding. It was Alex’s and it’s been a puzzle to me from the first time he let me use it.”

Looking at the crew, the bride was positively vibrating with excitement. Tess of course was nearby watching the festivities with a intent gaze. “So… I’ve had so many surprises and I suspect there will be a few more but where exactly are we headed for our honeymoon, anyway?” she asked, shifting her gaze to Daggum.

The captain looked at Daggum who simply nodded. Mal’tek stood and went to a panel and a soon a holographic projection appeared over the low table. “We are here.” and a red light blinked into existence in the display. “We will be taking a somewhat meandering course over the next two and a half weeks, stopping a few places before we arrive here… at Orion. We will be there for four days before departing and then rendezvous with the your ship here.” A blue light blinked into view. Daggum looked at Faye and said “What do you think? Ready to visit those chapters in our lives?”

The blue light drew her in and rather than feelings anxious, it felt right. Reaching for his hand, she gave it a squeeze. “I think it’s been long overdue, don’t you?” she said, tipping her head up to gaze at him. She had come a long way from that moment on the holdeck where she first spoke about Kodell. His power over her had vanished and in fact, she had even looked him up. Mostly out of curiosity, but also because she needed that closure, or knew she needed it.

“Besides, based on this flight path, it’s a quick jaunt from Cios Four and they have an amazing set of hanging gardens. I’m minded to come to the Athena with even more plants than i have already,” Faye said flashing a grin.
