Alex decided to take another run and was quickly back in the water, his strong arms propelling him back out into the surf to catch another wave. His Klingon companion turned and began walking back up the beach toward Samira.
Alex's daughter continued building her elaborate sand castle. At one point the dog approached and gave a sniff at the corner tower. The girl wagged a finger at him, "Don't you dare! That's area is load bearing and you'll bring half the thing down if you dig there. Why don't you work on either the moat or the sea wall, both of those require digging." Amazingly, the dog seemed to understand and began a slow and deliberate digging process with one huge paw, right where the girl had pointed.
Samira' attention was then drawn back to the Klingon as he approached her. He wasn't as muscular and bulky as Talion was, but was clearly quite fit and had the physique of a well trained warrior. He was finely groomed, much more so than the typical Klingon and his attire much more practical. Even more surprising, as he came to a stop, he appeared to be smiling.
having stopped a polite distance away, he spoke in a clear deep tone, "Greetings, Miss Khasim. I don't mean to disturb your relaxation, but it would feel rude of me not to acknowledge you. I am Lieutenant Junior Grade Gath. I'm a Security Officer on the Aquila and I am at your service, should you find need of me."
As he said this, he gave just a hint of a bow of his head, but only in a minimalistic way. He was obviously trying very hard to accommodate a number of cultural possibilities. His behavior was almost diplomatic in nature. When uncertain of the depth of cultural prohibitions on behavior, you tried to err to the side of caution. His distance he stopped from her, so as not to invade her space, should anyone observe them. It might be inappropriate for him to approach closer without chaperone, as it might compromise a lady's honor and cause rumors. He remained very polite and spoke in a conversational tone, yet loud enough that people would not be able to presume they were speaking too privately. he wasn't at attention, yet stood with good posture and kept his hands in view at all times. In short, he was behaving as much as a perfect gentleman as could be expected. Unlike most Klingon males, he had not included in his introduction his long and often boring list of family lineage to try and impress anyone. The only thing that stood out and seemed unusual was a type of tattoo that was on his shoulder. It wasn't large, but did have the symbol of the Klingon empire and Klingon writing around it.
