Xenara listened to the Commander's answer, and was half-surprised that the woman genuinely smiled. But remembered that Shione looked exactly like S'hiarra, so didn't think much of it.
She certainly looks like Sothrick's wife, but are they twins or...something else...
"Truthfully no, I do not believe it would, however as senior officers you and I know that encouraging, or condoning inappropriate behavior could be interpreted as such should it happen again."
Xenara nodded. The Elaysian missed the tell-tale head-ridges, but retained the grey skin and high forehead, so to some people, her nodding might seem a bit comical. But she really did understand how it could become a problem in the future. Especially to those sensitive to telepathy. "Understood, Sir," she said. "I'll strive to be more vigilant around others. I apologize for the headache that seemingly innocent exchange seems to have caused. But I understand the potential implications."
She didn't mean to sound like a Vulcan, but she did spend a lot of time around Sothrick and his demeanor and speech seemed to have rubbed off on her. Not necessarily a bad thing, since she was always...professional when meeting new people. With most, it took her a while before she showed her true self, as she liked to push boundaries to see how much she could get away with. But with Vulcans, and Vulcan hybrids, she tended to be just professional since they rarely had any measurable sense of humor.
Or tolerance for hijinx...
Pausing to give the Elaysian a chance to take in what was said the Commander then added, "We are going to be joined by a young officer of mine whom I asked to observe your reply. But I want you to know that this is not an interrogation, simply a conversation, and for my officer's benefit a small training exercise to see if he can assess an unfamiliar officer of what could be; for him an unfamiliar race's reaction and reply. But before he joins us, please know that I am aware that you are a friend of my sister and she would kick my ass should I disrespect you."
Xenara blinked again, and couldn't help but wonder if the exercise was merely some sort of a ruse; to what end she could only guess, but at the same time, it was an interesting experiment.
She made a face that let them know it was indeed an interesting idea. After all, how many Elaysians were in Starfleet?
"In my experience with Vulcans," she said. "There's rarely such a thing as a simple conversation. But I'm game if it will help. And your sister would kick my ass if I disrespected you, just to even the playing field I think the saying goes."
Sister...hmm...
