Kalli shook her head slowly as she tried to imagine what he was saying to her, "Wow, your world is hard for me to imagine. That has to be difficult to adjust to. I have a hard enough time with just me in my head. Having someone else in there as well, would feel crowded. Don't even try to get me to imagine what Betazoids must go through, growing up with telepathy and such. The idea makes me dizzy."
Kalli thought about what he said as she watched him get another drink. Her own had been special ordered and would actually never go empty, nor would it go cold. Once the Ferengi had left, she took a deep breath and as she let it out, decided to give it a try. Beginning slowly, she said, "Well, for starters, finding someone to become involved with wasn't even on my scanners, so to speak. I had an interest in a boy when I was in my early teens, but nothing ever became of it other than a single kiss. The life was so chaotic for so long that it had been the furthest thing from my mind until there had been a situation on the ship. I had been in Sickbay and he was laying there. He had woke up there and had no idea where he was or what was going on. I don't know what had knocked him out, but there he was, flashing lights, people all around him trying to help him, most of his uniform removed or being removed and complete chaos. They were having a hard time of it and I realized that he was just scared. I mean, who wouldn't be, right?"
Kalli seemed to focus on some distant point but wasn't seeing what was around them anymore, her mind obviously reliving that moment, "For some reason, I saw him there and went over. The med-techs were about to call Security or try to restrain him, because it can be pretty dangerous when a seven foot tall Leo Mirak starts having a panic attack in a confined space. Anyway, I went over and placed my hand on his chest. I intended to just try and keep him from getting up and killing anyone, but it was like something magical happened. First of all, I was looking at his eyes and for some reason didn't expect him to be so furry." She shrugged and continued, "There was also...like...a feeling of electricity running through my hand in that moment. He turned to look me in the eyes and calmed down instantly. For some reason, I felt calm as well. Everything else disappeared and before we knew it, they had managed to finish him up and were needing the bio-bed for someone else. We snapped out of it and stepped aside."
Finally looking at Qi again, she smiled, "We both had a bit of an awkward moment then. For some reason that I'll never be able to explain, we had formed some kind of instant connection that we both felt. That electric feeling running through us. When he had gotten up and stood to his full height, it was almost comical. He was two feet taller than me and weighed more than three times what I did. As he was putting on his shirt, I reached up again and touched his chest once more. He was no longer scared, but that electricity was still there."
She looked at Qi for a moment and then laughed as she nodded her head, "I know, right? Of all the people to end up with, I suddenly start dating a 7 foot Leo Mirak. People gave us strange looks, but...um...we found ways to make it work." She blushed a little, but there was obviously still love in her eyes for the guy in her memories. "His family wasn't very happy about me though. I'm sure they were happy when I transferred to the Geronimo."
Kalli's expression turned much softer as she then gave very genuine smile, "Thanks for that. It's been a while since I got to talk about him. He's been gone a while now and I've moved on, but it is still nice to relive some of those fond memories once in a while." Her eyes has started to well up a bit and she wiped at one with the back of her hand in an effort to keep a tear from escaping.
