"Lieutenant," he said quietly, coming up beside her with a warm, genuine smile that didn't have to be quite as guarded as before. "I wanted to thank you personally. That was quick thinking with the holodeck proposal."
He took a sip of his water, his eyes crinkling slightly at the corners. "You managed to pivot him from 'party mode' to 'work mode' without him even realizing it. That is no small feat. I hope you're prepared for tomorrow, though," he added with a dry chuckle. "I have a feeling Mediator Kestir's version of 'cultural research' might be... energetic."
Amila shook her head with a dismissive grin. "It was nothing. I've got three older brothers, I think I can handle Mr. Kestir."
Amila watched as the guest interacted with others at the party. "He's stirred up some strong feelings among the crew in quite a short amount of time, though," she noted. "I mean, I guess I can see how he's definitely not what we were expecting. But, honestly, even before the host change, I was kind of expecting someone a little fiesty, you know. I think it was the way our liaison was insistent that we adhere to her every need. I mean, my great-great-grandmother could be the worst," Amila laughed. "Don't tell me you don't have any little old ladies in your family that love to give others a run for their money."
"Unfortunately, maybe Kestir doesn't realize that in C'had's body some of that can come across a little differently." Amila looked at Ameen and gave him a simple shrug before whispering, "I miss you."
