Soft snow fell over the serene and jovial setting, and Hally noted it piling in small clumps on the rim of her mocha and the surface of her gloved hands.
"What do you think of Carnival?" asked Aeryn with a return 'clink' of her glass against her own.
"It's beautiful!" Hally said, her husky toned voice cracking slightly in the cold. "Is this based on a real place?" she said, her words lined with marvel at the sheer lovliness of the setting. If this was a real place, she definitely wanted to visit the next time she was on Earth.
"Nice day for a carnival, ladies?"
Grant had approached the pair with a wave and a smile. Hallowette had grown to respect her superior officer, and she had wanted the opportunity to get to know him a bit better as more than just her boss, but unfortunately in the short time she had been on the Artemis, she hadn't been able to accomplish it in any meaningful way. He was a busy man, and she was...hopefully not a common source of paperwork, so she had bided her time in approaching him outside of work.
"Evening Sir." Hally said somewhat demurely. She wasn't one to be shy, in fact her Grandmother on Trill constantly had scolded the girl for her 'unbridled extroversion', but Grant was her direct superior. He held her career in his hands, and while nothing suggested he was anything but respectful of that fact, she still felt the weight of the power he held. "Aeryn has done a wonderful job, don't you think...Sir?"
It was at this moment a young human girl crashed into Grants legs, her blue eyes sparkling with mischievous glee, "Hi...Do you know where the games are?"
Hally chuckled under her breath. The little girl immediately reminded her of her own half sibling, Ralora, back home with her Father's family on Cardassia. Hally bent over slightly, her short frame measuring not much taller than the girl as she completed the gesture...
Hallowette's teal eyes gleamed with a playfulness that matched the girls, "I. LOVE. YOUR. HAT." she said with genuine affectionate warmth.
