Face towards the ceiling and eyes closed, Daggum smiled and said “A magician never reveals his secrets, wife. Besides, did you forget? Logistics specialist.” he said as he raised a thumb out of the mud and gestured to himself and then settled his arm back. “And places like this always have specials or something for weddings and anniversaries. It was just a matter of playing it up a bit… which I did with Mario.”

“Of course,” Viyara laughed lightly. “How could I forget?”

He then shifted himself so that he was closer to Viyara, their legs barely touching, and settled down lower into the heat and heaviness of the mud.

The ‘Mr.’ of Mr. and Mrs. Hammor

For several long moments she sat in complete silence next to him. Simply enjoying the moment. It wasn’t often that she was that quiet in the presence of other. Outside of the lab, that is. After all, to keep people from asking questions you didn’t want them to ask, it was best to keep them talking about themselves.

Shifting her leg a little, Viyara nudged Daggum’s thigh ever so slightly with her knee. “What are you thinking about,” she asked curiously, but without looking at him.

The mud shifted slightly and then his hand found her hand and settled gently onto it. “Honestly? I’m thinking about you.” he said, his eyes, still closed.

“Really?” Viyara asked with a small smile.

He didn’t move for some time, just laid there with his head on the pillow and letting his body relax. Finally, he turned his head and looked directly at her. “I don’t know why, V… but I am more relaxed around you than I am around anyone else I have ever met except maybe one other person. I am really enjoying spending time with you… deep conversations and fraud included.” and he smiled at her. “You really are quite remarkable.” and he laid his back on the pillow and faced the ceiling, closing his eyes. “Best transfer I have had yet, I have to say.” and he smiled and squeezed her hand before he released it and set it right next to hers under the mud.

“I’m enjoying our time together a lot as well,” Viyara whispered as she squeezed his hand in return. When he let go, she found herself wishing that he was still holding her hand. So she turned her hand over and slipped it into his, their fingers entwined. For a little while she sat there in silence with her eyes closed, just enjoying the moment and the heat of the mud bath. Though all of a sudden she laughed and as good as blurted out, “What did you do to me Daggum? This feels really nice and I feel happy and … at ease in your presence. But I also feel like you’ve bewitched me.”

As her fingers sought his out he smiled and gave her a squeeze once her fingers were locked in his. As she laughed he opened one eye and looked at her, and then smiled. “Maybe I have, you never know. Orions have pheromones, after all.” and he laughed. He took a regular inhibitor, as all Orions had to agree to do when they joined Star Fleet. Opening both eyes, he looked at her and said “Or maybe we both just got lucky to have found someone we can relax with… without all the angst that comes from all that crap behind us. Makes it easier when you know someone can grasp what that was, right?” and then he leaned close and kissed her. It was firm, but not overly so, and he held it for some time before leaning back.

“Yep… we’re gonna do that more often. Just accept that.” he said matter-of-factly as he laid his head back and grinned at the ceiling.
