Kalli gave a very sympathetic look and reached over to touch his arm gently, "I'm so glad that you found each other again. My heart still misses my old boyfriend. I never thought I would find that kind of feeling, but I was wrong. I may have my doubts about lightning striking twice, but the universe has shown me that I can't rule it out. Unfortunately, in my case, I have no chance of reuniting with my old flame. It turns out that he died in an accident."
She took another sip and then added, "That has to be interesting though. I mean, you know him, yet there is a part of him that you had to learn about from scratch. Isn't that a bit like having a third person in the mix? Well, a third personality maybe?" He shook her head slowly, "How does that even work? I don't know enough about how the symbiont thing works. Do they merge and become one personality, or...?" She scrunched her face up in a silly kind of confused way that was almost childlike. "I never really gave it serious thought." Then she blushed a little and looked embarrassed, "Wait, that isn't like some taboo Trill thing I'm asking about, is it?"
She realized right at that moment that Qi was perhaps one of the few people she felt this close to. Kalli felt close enough to care deeply about him and share very personal things with, yet it wasn't a romantic sort of thing between them. That intimate sort of shared experience was a rare thing for her. She had no idea how rare it was for most people, but she felt that she could talk to him about anything. It was then that her mind decided that somewhere along the line he had become family. The realization warmed her heart and almost brought her to tears. Family? Was that the right word? She refused to let her mind try and answer it as she waited to hear how he responded to her wandering into what might well be some kind of cultural minefield.
