“I’m fairly certain that is why they sent him, then. Diplomacy and espionage go hand in hand, after all.” and he took a sip. “This really is very good. Your sister is quite talented. I know an Orion that would probably try and marry her just for access.” and he grinned.

“So I’ve been told.” Her tone made it clear she didn’t like it. It wasn’t how Revna worked with people. “As long as it doesn’t get me stabbed or shot.” Revna stared into the honey gold liquid in her cup. “I will send along your compliments. Ragna started helping our Da when she was 10 in the meadery. At 15 she went to the Scandinavian Brewing College, and then started working on this. As for this Orion he’s welcome to purchase it. My Da ships anywhere as long as they are willing to pay the fees. As for marriage....I don’t think her husband would like that very much. Though from what I’ve been told…he might enjoy the exercise.”

Alex laughed and said “Now, I may not know who your sister is married to, but unless it’s a polyamorous relationship with multiple Klingons and maybe a Naussican or two, I will be willing to bet that Commander Mardusk could take him.” and he laughed again and took a drink.

Revna fought really hard to keep from spitting out her drink. The image of Ragna, her short tempered baby sister, swordswoman extraordinaire, and completely shy and unfamiliar with love being in a polyamorous relationship of any kind was....she started to laugh. “Not even close. more laughter Oh, now there might be....multiple Klingons and a few Naussican’s involved, but it won’t be amorous. She’d likely be taking them on in a very unfair fight.” Revna paused to catch her breath. “Her husband is Mike’s cousin. Big, Huge, Strapping Scott. Has a sword as big as he is and knows how to use it, apparently. Took out two Andorian’s bare handed in 1 solid kick and two punches. Gravel has sheer size and force behind him, but I think he and Gravel would get along. They share the same true north on their moral compasses. They’d probably just look at each other, and share a few bottles of Seamus’ personal whisky. I’m told it’s very good, but if I want any I have to go home to get it.” Revna grinned, “Now however, if we’re talking my other sister, my twin. Yeah it might be a few Klingons, Naussican’s, and probably a Zaladan or three.”

“Oh my…” Alex said and chuckled. “Please give me plenty of warning if she is coming to visit. It sounds like I will need to request extra Security.” and he laughed.

Revna laughed. “Oh I will, if she gives me any. But right now she’s on the Atlantis running Mike’s bar. You should ask Mike about her sometime though. His favorite story about her…He watched Runa run game on three Marines and four off-duty Security officers in his bar at the same time just to get free drinks. And none of them even knew she was talking to the others. So the ship will be okay, she’ll be okay. We might all die laughing and the poor fellows might die of broken hearts, but they’ll be smiling about it.”

Revna took a sip and then set the drink on the arm of the chair. “So what’s all this tension you’re carrying around? It’s more so than normal.” Now Revna knew there were probably things he couldn’t tell her because of the job and wouldn’t because she was a virtual stranger. But Revna would always be at her core, a person who wanted to help others.
