Keir grinned at the coordinated departure of Morad and hir friend Amila. S/he recognized the growing attraction between them and was happy for them both. S/he had long been grateful for hir relationship with Samantha, who in addition to being hir life partner was also hir teacher when it came to understanding the bonds formed between the species with defined gender differences.
It was so different than what the Hermat had grown up with and in fact s/he and Sam were thinking of building a family at sometime in the future, with perhaps both of them contributing to that.
Hir reverie was broken by comments first from Keti and then the Captain who added "Well, it looks like the fun and games are over." She said to the remaining few.
Smiling broadly Keir approached and patted both Keti and the Captain on their shoulders; "Nonsense, there are more than enough of us to continue the evening at least for a while."
S/he encouraged the others to take a seat at a circular table and ordered some additional snacks and refreshment of the drinks, and continued hir statement as everyone gathered. "I have not had the pleasure of being known by, nor getting to know many of you, and perhaps a brief disclosure about myself might promote mutual understanding and assist in getting to know each other.
I came from a ship which had been Captained by my own personal hero, that being Captain Adaran225; who like me is one of the very few of my species to serve in Starfleet. I appear to you all to be largely a Human female when in fact I am a member of a race known as the Hermat.
We are a hermaphroditic race, neither female OR male but both, and as I said there are very few of us who ever leave our home planet. I am the 77th member of my people to use the name Keir and the child of my parent Keir76, who died shortly after my birth. My race matures incredibly fast and I in fact enrolled in Starfleet Academy shortly after my 3rd birthday, and have been a serving officer for 13 years, and last served on Captain Adaran's vessel as First officer before the ship was decommissioned and I was then posted on the Titania."
S/he paused to give the others a moment to take that in before finishing hir introduction. "I met Samantha on the USS Geronimo and as a married couple we were posted together and have been grateful to you, Captain for your welcoming us to your command and getting a chance to get to work with this crew. I am also grateful to you for your grace in accepting the use of your name earlier, but I hoped it would make you feel welcome as a person and allow you to relax WITH us, and I thank you for that."
S/he drew in a long breath and all of those present watched Samantha hug hir warmly, before s/he finished hir thoughts. "So as the youngest member of this crew I now defer to you all to share something with us."
