SNIP
Abel arrived a few minutes before he was supposed to meet Lissi. He stopped and picked up two glasses and found a table by the window. He set the glasses and a bottle he brought with him on the table and opened it, smelling the contents and smiling as he poured the two glasses half full of a deep red wine.

Lissi showed up a few moments later. Not late, per se, but then again, wasn’t on time actually late?
She smiled watching him pour the wine and walked over a moment later. Touching his shoulder as she walked around him, she settled into the seat opposite him. “That doesn’t look replicated.” She smiled and glanced at the wine. One hand reaching up to tuck an errant cluster of hair behind her ear, her fingers absently rubbing her slight brow ridges before lowering once more. “Special occasion or just a chance to relax and do more than sneak a lunch in a vacant medical bay?” Lissi laughed softly in reference to their first ‘date’ in the auxiliary medical bay where they managed to grab some privacy between shifts.

CEAbel smiled and said “No. Not replicated. This is from my cellar back home.” and he handed her a glass. Raising his own to her he said “Cheers.” and smiled at her.
Abel, CMO
She smiled brighter and took the glass. Holding it to his in the toast, she nodded. “Cheers.” After taking sip, she raised her eyebrows in surprise. “Oh, gracious. That is delicious. I may have to route your cellars when we get back. Or at least find your stash here.” Lissi laughed. “It really is wonderful. I guess I’ve been blunted by synth drinks for so long, I had forgotten how wonderful and full flavored the real thing is. Thank you, Abel. So,” she set the glass on the table but she kept it between both hands and slowly rolled it between her fingers. “Do you recommend a special dish to go with this?” She had the feeling he did. She was coming to learn more and more about the quiet Doctor. And if nothing else, she had learned he never did anything by half measure.

CEAbel chuckled and said “I honestly didn’t think that far ahead. But I’m sure whatever you want will be a good fit. Maybe some gagh? Although I hear the replicated version isn’t too good.”
Abel, CMO
Lissi smiled. “I never would have pegged you for a gagh fan, Abel. Congrats. Actually, there are a couple decent, palatable versions here. If you specifically order Filden or Torgud gagh, both made live and wiggling, it’s actually much closer than the recipes in there for simply gagh. Apparently someone took the time to make two more precise recipes. I can get us each a serving. You prefer simply moving, or truly wiggling?” She laughed slightly as the idea of rare and well passed thru her mind for human meat choices.
Lissi
CE“Wigglier the better, my friend used to say.” and he smiled and took a drink.
Abel, CMO
Lissi smiled and got up. “Torgud it is!” She moved to the replicator and got two bowls of the wriggling mass and returned with them and silverware on a tray. She set one before him and settled down, handing him silverware and taking her own before placing the empty tray on a nearby table to use later.
“Are you feeling any better? You were pretty upset earlier. I hope you’ll let me know if there’s any way I can help you.” She took a sip of her drink and a small forkful of the gagh as she watched him. He was growing very dear to her and she didn’t like it when he was upset or frustrated.
