==Fairwinds Lounge, Later that evening: Welcome Dinner==
The lounge had been transformed for the special dinner being held to welcome Mediator C'had Kestir on board. Three buffet tables beautifully current displayed a variety of appetizers. Small high top tables were situated strategically in the lounge, giving people places to gather and mingle before sitting down for the main meal. Servers stood poised with trays of wine, ready to walk the room once guests started to arrive. Moxi, the Bolian bartender, was making small talk with the staff, a cacophony of different shaped bottles with different colored synthaholic liquors on display behind her.
Amila walked into the lounge early, anxious to make sure that there were no glitches and that the atmosphere remained upbeat and lively. She'd changed into her dress uniform per the Captain - Commander Ameen's orders, but she always felt a little out of place in it. Stiff. She tugged on her collar a little and reminded herself to relax her shoulders.
Commander Ameen, he'd likely be here soon. They'd been so stiff, so formal with one another, which worked on the Bridge. She wondered how this evening would go. He'd be entertaining the guest of honor of course, she'd be best to make introductions and focus on the others in the room. If she could. Ever since their evening together she'd found her thoughts frequently drifting towards him, distracted by his presence when he was near.
Snap out of it Amila. Look around the room. Something is missing. Why is it so quiet?
The playlist!
She and Ensign Powl had spent a considerable amount of time on it earlier. "Computer, play Welcome Dinner Playlist Powl/Ra'an 60 decibels."
We're ready to start, she thought. She nodded as she looked around the room. It felt much better with the music, it added to the atmosphere. She made her way over to where the dinner staff were staged and began visiting with them while they waited for every one else to arrive.
==Open tags for everyone to arrive, grab a bit and mingle==
