Jez was enjoying the party, the music was a soft Earth Jazz if she wasn’t mistaken; people had broken off into scattered groups, talking and laughing. The waiter returned with her mineral water and K’Vada’s Blood Wine.
Commander Velaul surprised K’Vada when she said, "Thank you, I have also arranged for a few surprises for people, a taste of home, and nothing was replicated there. This includes a few flavors of Gagh that pair well with the Blood wine. I hear it is from a good year."
K’Vada was indeed surprised that the Commander had gotten fresh Gagh; it’s always better when fresh. K’Vada really liked Terran Chinese Spring Rolls. Jez, on the other hand, was hoping that they would have Thai Miang Kham (Flavor Bomb Leaf Wraps): Betel leaves (or lettuce) filled with lime, chili, shallots, roasted coconut, peanuts, and dried shrimp with a sweet sauce. She developed a taste for them as a Cadet back in the academy. There was a little Thai place not far from the Academy that served them over a tasty coconut rice.
K'Vada saw Commander Talion blushing, which only confirmed the rumors that the Commander and the First Officer were involved in a romantic way of some sort. K’Vada felt hurt; she really had hoped that the rumors weren’t true.
Jez gave Counselor Troy a polite nod, as if to say, "Hello, how have you been?" Jez liked her very much; she had helped Jez sort out her feelings about being pregnant, but Jez often wondered about the relationship between the Counselor and her dogs. Were they emotional support dogs, or did they detect seizures or something? Either way, Jez found the dogs relaxing.
K’Vada spotted Lieutenant Khasim, and she made her way over and said, "Good evening, Lieutenant. I’ve been meaning to ask, are you the same Samira Khasim who wrote the fascinating paper on the Comparative Biology of the Klingon Mountain Targ, of Krios Prime?” Said K’Vada, her tone full of curiosity. K’Vada had read the paper in her Junior year at the Academy; it was a truly fascinating read. It explained the difference between the various Targ subspecies: the Mountain Targ, the Swamp Targ, the Forest Targ, and the Ice Targ. The paper held a particular love for K’Vada as she had a Targ growing up as a child. She didn’t recall what type of Targ it was, as she actually grew up on a Federation colony.
Jez, feeling a little mischievous, looked at Commander Talion and thought to him.
~ I told you she had a thing for you.~
Jez thought that Talion and Velaul were a good match. He was scientifically brilliant, she was street-wise, and no doubt the experience from all the hosts that Trills had. He was rugged and handsome. Velaul was beautiful and a formidable woman when it came to negotiations; the two complemented each other. Jez could see them raising her child in case something should happen to her. Jez smiled and took a sip of her mineral water.
