Sharl’s Bistro was already known for its brunch. So it was no surprise when the owner was contacted by the Poet Laureate of Vulcan herself with a request for a private table for two for a seating. Of course, they were booked solid for six weeks in advance. But there was always room for celebrity.

Vash’tur was welcomed by the Maitre’d and shown to a small dining area just off the main dining room. A manual door with frosted glass inlay separated the space from the rest, and it was here Vash’tur was seated. This had originally been set for her and her daughter… but recent developments had made a change to the dining card opposite her. Now… she waited for someone she did not know, and wished to be meeting under very different circumstances.
