Tilting her head, Kiama nodded thoughtfully. “I agree. Something less delicate.” Turning around once more, she skimmed her dresses once again and then pulled out two others. One was a light green one made of satin (https://i.pinimg.com/564x/74/76/b7/7476b70705f3fda67093e61007f300e1.jpg). The other was another navy blue one, but floor length and clearly a simple evening gown (https://i.pinimg.com/564x/31/b9/ee/31b9eea643a227c9633a5914bab8bbef.jpg). Again holding both up in front of her body and then putting them down on her bed. “Maybe?” she asked a little sceptically. “The few other dresses I have definitely fall into the frilly category. Like this one.” And she pulled a pale pink dress out with some tulle and lace (https://i.pinimg.com/564x/7a/a4/0d/7aa40d4c270b27ea621951c33d0cf311.jpg).

Faye eyed the selection but her eyes were fixed on the green dress. Still, she let her attention drift to the pink one and gave a lopsided smile as her fingers traced the embroidered tulle. “Might be a bit much for dinner.” Her eyes darted back to the green dress and though it was more… flamboyant than she would have ever thought would suit her, she was drawn to it still.

Picking up the full skirted dress, she held it up. The neckline would flow quite nicely over her chest and though she was was rather thin, the skirt would still be flattering. The colour though! It seemed to pick up the green in her pale stormy eyes. Faye pulled some of her dark hair over her shoulder, the fabric making her dark hair almost richer looking. She turned to Kiama. “What do you think?” she said softly, uncertain and yet hopeful.

“I think that you’d look absolutely stunning in it,” Kiama replied sincerely and just as softly. She had been watching Faye closely and as her friend held the dress up she could really see her in it. “You should definitely take it along on your vacation, in your size of course, and you have to promise to wear it,” she grinned. “And afterwards I want to hear all about how Daggum reacted when he saw you in the dress.” Her grin turned rather mischievious at those words and she couldn’t help laugh softly.

“Done deal!” Faye said with a laugh. “I’ll order one from the replicator and maybe a black dress for something dressy but not as formal. I’ve got leather leggings and trousers to go with some tunics,” she idly remarked as she set the dress back on the bed and picked up the necklace. “And this pretty thing I’m definitely borrowing,” Faye added with a wink.

“If there is any other jewellery you’d like to borrow feel free to do so,” Kiama replied with a wide smile.

“Did you have to dress formally a lot back home?” Calloway asked curiously.

“I had, yes,” Kiama nodded as she began to put the other dresses back into her wardrobe. “I only remember a few times before the occupation. Back then my grandmother was still the head of our family and my mother kept in the background, focusing at her work at the university instead. But with my grandmother dying during the last fight to drive the Dominion off Betazed … well, all those responsibilities landed in her lap and the older I got the fewer events I was allowed to skip. Balls, dinners, garden parties. You name it. Some of them were even fun and I do love to get all dressed up. But I hate being forced to attend formal events. And really, both as a child and teenager and later as neuroscientist, I was always the odd one out at those events with government officials and diplomats and people like that.” She gave a small shrug as she hung up the last dress and turned back around to look at Faye.
