There was nothing that Damian was looking more forward to than Ju’s party. After everything that had happened, which wasn’t just about the mission, he needed something that was bright, fun, and engaging. Ever since he’d learned that Ju was aboard, he’d spent a decent amount of time with her. What Damian realized quickly though was that no one else really knew her. Oh sure, they’d heard the scuttlebutt about the DS9 glitter incident, which many of the story versions got horribly and completely incorrect. Or the scuttlebutt about the Christmas Party. Instead of combating all that one person at a time, or even combating it at all, it was better to just change the narrative; a big party, hosted by Ju herself… with Mara and Damian’s help of course.
After helping out with the decorating, getting food, and arranging for the drinks, Damian had taken off back to his quarters to get ready. Now, he was strutting himself down to the Officer’s Lounge in style. Ju had picked out a pair of raw denim jeans that were an incredible dark blue, and he had decided to pair them with deep burgundy hi-shine oxfords. For his top, Ju had tried to sell him on wearing a k-pop branded t-shirt. Instead, Damian managed to sell her on something else. It was a black v-neck t-shirt that was FITted tight and slim, leaving little to the imagination. As an accessory, he wore a fashionable analog all-black stainless watch and a thick sterling silver cuban link chain necklace.
As he approached the venue, he saw that Aeryn and Beka were just entering the door. A devilish smirk broadened large across his face as his footsteps carried him closer. As soon as they were inside meeting Ju, and he was within range, he slid in behind Beka with enough noise to make his presence known. Then, he leaned down and spoke in a low voice,
“Hey, lemme know if you need something to wet your whistle,” he barely held onto his chuckle.
“Cause there’s plenty of drinks I think you’d like on that table over there…” he gestured toward the libation station.
It was the flimsiest of covers for his reference, and he knew by opening with that particular salvo he’d get a volley in return. Though over the years, he’d come to enjoy the verbal exchanges with Sydesh despite their rocky start. Plus she was a damn good medical officer. It wasn’t just her abilities as a surgeon either, but her work ethic too. Beka put in the hours, and made sure that whatever she was doing was done right the first time.
“...oh Aeryn good to see you! Love your style girl, you look amazing. So glad you both could make it,” Damian followed up quickly before Sydesh could reply, trying to change tact and perhaps dodge a spicy barb back from Beka.
Coleman could see Robin not far ahead, and while he planned to say hi to her too, he stopped where he was for the moment. The further he tried to get away from Beka, the louder she’d just shout her eventual reply to him. So, instead, he figured he’d hunker down for a moment with them instead.
== tag Beka especially, but also Aeryn. Ju and Robin too as they probably would overhear at least his conversation with Aeryn ==
