Kalli was surprised to hear a familiar voice calling out her name. Quickly setting down her drink, she stood up, eyes wide and a big smile, "Qi!"
In a rare display of public affection, she wrapped her arms around him and gave him a big hug, "It's good to see you!"
They took seats by the fire and he began asking questions. She shrugged and replied, "Life goes on. I'm on the Aquila now and that's quite a bit of ship for me to keep running. The Geronimo would almost fit in the shuttle bay. As for plans, I'm still trying to understand some of the holidays I hear people discussing, but I mostly just wish people well and move on. I've gotten used to not having a home or family to share such things with. When I first joined Star Fleet, it was hard and I think I resented such holidays. Back then it served to remind me about what I had lost. I've managed to make peace with that particular demon and now enjoy seeing others able to enjoy those kind of moments. There is almost a sense of hope that my pendulum might eventually swing back to where I too celebrate such things, but I try not to let myself move too quickly." Knowing that he had a better view than some at her darker side, she blushed a little and grinned, "After all, I'm still a bit of a work in progress."
She then shifted to him, "So, what about you? What have you been up to?"
