[Vimyridge] SD950310.10 - Ten Forward Pt 2 - Vilqa, Blake, Blake, Saladin, Lox, Nix, DuMont, NPC Rose

[Kylana ~]

K`ylana smiled seeing Marcus and nodded as Vilqa's table and the Blake's
table were next to each other, "Certainly Marcus. Relax a bit and offer your
thoughts on who you believe will win the strategic games at play in the
lounge." Music started to play in the corner as one of the officers decided
to give an impromptu performance on his guitar. She continued to balance on
the back feet of her chair, the ice in her gin and tonic tinkling against
the smooth edge of the glass as she shifted the vessel in circles as she
took note as to who had all gathered so far. Then turned toward Cait once
more, "What's that Doc?"

"I was hoping to get a rematch with you at some point this week." Cait gave
K`y such an innocent smile. "You have to give a girl a chance to redeem
herself...or at least get booboos for a certain husband to kiss and make
better."

Marcus laughed, "Do you have a death with Cait?" He smirked, eyeing K'ylana,
"I'm assuming that the said rematch is of a physical nature?"

Vilqa smirked at the request but she did not reply immediately to Cait as
she nodded toward Marcus.

Justin and Melissa were off to one side at a table.  They had ordered dinner
and seemed to be enjoying each other's company.  They were nearly oblivious
to those around them.

Kylee sipped quietly on her glass of water as she stared out the window. She
tilted her head at the noise coming from the others, looking over at the
group. She furrowed her brow slightly, listening to some of the conversation
as she set her glass down. Letting out a soft grunt, she shifted, staring
down at the water, watching it shift in the glass as she focused on her own
thoughts. Her mandatory rest time had been spent in the holosuite, working
off aggression, though her thoughts were still dark, wishing she could catch
the ones responsible and make them pay.

"Hey! I'm Irish, I resemble that remark...usually...but not in this case."
Cait retorted. "I do indeed know what I'm doing."

Rose watched Marcus shyly from the safety of her daddy's lap. She was long
legged for her age with morning gloy blue eyes, a fall of strawberry-blonde
curls that that tumbled to her shoulders, and her mother's pointed ears

"You want a rematch," K`ylana finally said in a smooth tone, "Are you truly
certain of that Doc? I cannot be held responsible for any outcome that could
occur." She winked toward Toby, "Plus I have a Number One who as a result
can make my life a living place of torment."

Said number one chuckled and looked over at K`y, "Now why would I do that
when I know we both know that a certain Chief Medical Officer, often needs
to be reminded of her mortality?" He looks down at Rose, "What kind of ice
cream did you want?"

"I wouldn't ask if I wasn't certain. It'll be fun." Maybe Cait did have a
death wish, but then, bar fights were her idea of a grand shore leave.

"Peent an' bweu, pease, Dada." Rose grinned up at Toby, showing off the
teeth she had. The child peered around at K`y. "Eyesceams, Aunna T`y?" Well,
she couldn't make all the sounds right yet...

Toby looked to Cait for a translation. Sometimes he understood his daughter,
and there were times when she just confused him.

"Pink and blue." Cait chuckled. "Strawberry and blueberry, Toby."

Vilqa brow rose as if Toby could not understand his daughter, she certainly
could not and so she looked toward Cait for help as to what the child said
beyond the word eyescreams.....

Toby chuckled and motioned to the waiter, ordering the ice cream for his
daughter before looking at the precious little precocious sweetie in his
lap, "No making a mess. Daddy's lap and all of Ten Forward is a no mess
zone." As with just about everything he did with her, he reinforced the
words with his empathy. Such doings was the likely cause she was so bright,
he was making it easier for her to learn and associate.

Cait's eyes sparkled with amusement. "She wants to know if her Auntie K`y
would like icecream too."

Jason chuckled softly as he heard this. He looked upon the family, as he
thought about having one of his own. He had no one on Earth but family and
friends. No girlfriend, no wife, and certainly no kids. But Jason did think
of how badly he wanted those things. A wife to come 'home' to everyday after
work, who can cook. And three adorable kids. Two boys and a girl. Jason took
another sip of his aldebaran whiskey as he mused this wouldnt happen anytime
soon. Maybe, with his long voyages aboard the 'ridge, it could be possible.

"Oh, Vilqa smirked, "I don't think the icecream would go well with the gin.
But thank you Rose." She winked in every effort to amuse the child in an
awkward part klingon way. She finally shifted her chair onto all four legs,
"No drink for you Marcus?"

Kylee shakes her head, shoving the glass away and climbing to her feet, the
chair scraping as it is pushed back. She leaves the table, making her way to
the door, her mind whirling with thoughts she could not stop. She was still
in need of a way to destress, and decided another trip to the holosuite
would be good. At the very least, she could train until exhaustion took
over.

Jason looked over to see Kylee leaving. He got up quickly and started a
quick walk towards her. "Kylee, wait up!" he said in a rush

Kylee blinked, her steps slowing as she looked over her shoulder to the one
calling out her name. She arched her brow, seeing Jason and paused, turning
slightly.

"I dont think weve been formerly introduced. Im Lt. Jason DuMont, the new
Security Chief"
