As she listened to the young officer speak, Aanil quickly realized that she had misjudged the dynamics of the moment. Neils was one of the truly good guys and back when Aanil had first met him, she had recently left, or rather escaped; as she finally had to admit to herself; a very controlling relationship.
It had taken Aanil a long time to get back to the person she had been before giving in to the need she had when she had been with that man. She never used his name anymore; not even in her thoughts; preferring to simply 'put it all behind her'. She listened to Kalli speak and allowed herself to relax. She and Neils did not normally socialize much. He was somewhat more introverted than she was, but not by a lot, and Kalli's admission that she too was uncomfortable in crowds was all it took for Aanil to drop her guard and relax.
"Have to admit, I did overreact a touch Kalli.", and she smiled wryly at that admission. "This Irish blood O' mine is a mighty thing indeed but tis one of the few things that allows me to socialize a'tal. But it has, on occasion made me sumthin of a poxy bitch; sorry."
As Aanil relaxed, Kalli noted that her ears were rather pointed; not to the degree of a full-blooded Vulcan, but the Medical officer was clearly of Vulcan descent. It was also clear that Aanil was not really comfortable in such tight quarters either, and she nodded in assent at Kalli's offer of something to drink; "Aye, if ya would; Irish whiskey, neat. What will you be havin Neils?"
The room was quite full of people, not crowded per se but more so than Aanil and Neils would normally be found in. But Kalli's offer to procure food and the materialization of a bowl of nuts on the table was clearly her showing off. "Quite impressive Miss Kalli, I 'spect that means ye be an Engineer? Then tis a good and proper thing that we be sittin together don't ya think Neils? It's a chance for you to meet one of your new officers."
