The Vulcan raised one eyebrow and spoke in a deadpan tone, just a hint of irony audible. “There are Vulcan Poets…” It wasn’t a smirk, but it was as close as he allowed. His slender hands settled on the keys though, and he placed his fingers gingerly before softly arpeggiating a C Minor chord.

“That there are,” Ghubari said as she set her right hand loosely over the keys. She took his C Minor chord and played out a harmonic minor scale with a swing beat. “Jazz is as methodical as it is instinctive. There’s still structure and theory behind it. But it’s what happens in between, in the spaces that makes it different. It conjures feelings in a different way.” Va’rek seemed to lean more towards emotion than one might expect fo Vulcans, but Ghubari had long ago learned to never make assumptions about people.

Ghubari looked over at Mariskha and smiled, her fingers still moving. “Good evening, Mariskha. You’re more than welcome to pull up a chair and join us.”

The Vulcan watched her hands, his keen hearing catching the places where the notes danced in and out of natural C, changing the modal tonality of the scale slightly. “A rigidly defined set of rules… used with improvisational musings… Fascinating.”

At this, he glanced up at Marishka, nodding a greeting.
