Freja sipped her coffee as she observed the wait staff set up for a post-mission unwind party. She had tried to include a variety of different cuisines. Some of the food would be available in the crew lounge for the rest of the crew whilst she expected most of the senior staff and the more senior members of the departments would likely put in an appearance here. She’d even included an invite for anyone wanting to share a dish from their homeworld if they so desired.

She’d arranged for a few Kvæfjord cakes to be included. Whilst she was indeed mostly Betazoid, her grandfather had introduced her to some of his favorite Norwegian style foods and she was rather fond of the sponge cake with almonds, meringue and vanilla.

Some of her former commanders often tried to go overboard with the party themes, even the head waiter here tried to convince her to define the theme a bit more, but she found something casual was more successful in building a continuing rapport between everyone on the ship. Food was important though, food often spurred conversation more times than not.

She’d sent the invites out after receiving her debrief from command and figured while they waited on new orders they could unwind a little while the ship headed back to the spaceport.

Scott nervously approached the CO. He had seen notice of the party and he had hoped that he might be able to join - despite the fact that he hadn’t been apart of the away team. This was Scott trying to act on the Counselor’s advice - to try and get to know the crew a little.
He quietly cleared his throat, as if prompting himself to talk. “Pardon me for bothering you, Captain. But I was wondering if I might join the party? I know I wasn’t on the away team or anything… but I thought this might be a good opportunity to meet the crew… erm, if that’s okay with you?”
Despite his best intentions, Scott still sounded painfully shy. He was already half wincing internally, preparing himself if the Captain said no.
“I’ve… I even brought some food” He tried to sound positive, clutching a tray behind his back. But much to nobody’s surprise, he still sounded nervous.

“Absolutely Ensign, join the fun,” Freja gestured with a warm smile, “Not sure who else will be popping in, but I wanted to include as many officers as possible as it gives us a chance to get to know everyone. It’s easier to work together in crisis if we already have a rapport.”

“Very true. Thank you, Ma’am” Scott said, relieved the Captain had said yes. He placed the carefully covered tray he had brought with him on the table and he sat down.

“Ah…” He said after sitting for a few moments. “I should probably unwrap these” he laughed nervously as he stood and uncovered the tray he’d brought. He removed the cover to reveal a tray of Cherry Bakewell Tarts. These were - in his humble opinion - the finest confectionery.
“I thought I’d bring these…” He started explaining as he sat back down again “… because if ever my Grandma went around to anybody’s house she would always bake some and take a plate of these with her.”

“Grandmother’s and their sweets,” Freja smiled, “My grandmother’s the same, she got me hooked on both Betazoid and Norwegian desserts growing up.”

The door opened and in walked a woman with fiery red hair, that was braided up into an elegant bun. Though she herself was dressed in a casual attire instead of her uniform. Her ensemble consisted of sapphire colored wrap secured with a satin sash, and light gray leggings and a snow white lab coat, embroidered with her name. She approached the CO and Ensign, a smile on her lips as she bowed to them slightly. “Good evening, Captain, Ensign. I hope you both are well this evening?” She asked lightly. her dark black eyes shifted between each of their faces.

“I’m doing well, thank you Doctor, I hope you’re settling in well,” Freja smiled.
