Gath offered to Charlotte, "If you enjoy Amaretto, might I suggest trying it mixed with pineapple juice over ice. The acidic juice mixed with the sweet of the Amaretto actually balances out quite nicely. It is also a drink that has relatively little alcohol, so if you're trying to remain relatively sober, you can make it last a while and as the ice melts, it makes the drink last longer with most people none the wiser. It's a little trick I picked up while trying to keep my wits about me while playing poker."
His devilish grin returned as he then replied to her comment, "Although I have heard the quote in Klingon, I have no problem crediting the original human author. I would not say that I would have enjoyed the company of Mister Nietzsche, but some of his writings give good food for thought. Klingon art and philosophy tends to be harsher and more direct, which pushes away most people. Although I understand why this is so, I don't always agree with it. An ancient Klingon saying that seems to have been lost over the ages, translates very closely to, 'The smart dog does not bark before it bites.' A true warrior does not announce themself when they enter a room. An old human quote that made me smile when I heard it was that you should always be polite and professional, but have a plan to kill everyone in the room."
Izzy then returned with their drinks as Emery joined them as well. After giving him a moment to answer about a drink, Gath asked, "Did you have any luck helping our guest find something appropriate to wear for the occasion? I have to sympathize with the fact that only a few days ago, he was in the body of a frail old woman and is now a fit and strong young man. That is indeed quite a contrast and I can't think of a single item that might have belonged to one would look good on the other. An even bigger concern is going to be that those at our destination are expecting the old woman and will be getting someone quite different. We can only hope that he will still be able to conduct business to their satisfaction. That kind of transition certainly can't be easy though."
