Runa wanted a drink, and she couldn’t exactly go to Mike’s bar because then she’d have to open. And she had a few hours before she had to open the bar, and drinking alone was depressing. She was already depressed enough. She walked through the door and looked at the Trill host, “The bar please.” She took note of the Gorn and found him to be diminutive compared to her her usual green skinned companion. She had a fleeting thought to take bets on who would win between the two and quickly squashed it. She’d had enough of bets and dares for awhile. Right now she desperately needed to find a way to get home, someone to watch Mike’s bar, and make lesson plans and finish the counseling reports. All at the same time. So why was she out looking for a drink? Because she needed to take a step back and get some perspective, and the one person she would talk to about it, was still on duty at the moment.

The young trill nodded and lead her to the red curtain. The room was fairly quiet, which was common for the time of day. The normal patrons tended to arrive alter to spend the night gambling.

As soon as Runa reached the bar the Caitain behind it looked her up and down “So what can I get you” she said handing Runa a drinks menu. The menu was extensive drinks from every corner of the galaxy alcoholic and non alcoholic. Andorian ale, Andorian tea, blood wine, mead and a few names many wouldn’t recognise. “Although judging by that dark cloud above your head. I’d say you want something with a kick. Am I right?” she asked her voice was silky smooth with seductive undertones.

Runa took the menu and glanced through it. She perused the mead list but found nothing that grabbed her attention. She glanced up at the Caitain bar tender and set the menu down. “Actually, I want something to remind me home. How about a non-alcoholic Gløgg.” Runa paused considering, “Actually I probably don’t have enough time for you to mull that. So let’s go with Briska apple cider strawberry and rhubarb.”

The Catian laughed softly “Well i guess you didn’t read the whole menu.” she said pointing to a small paragraph on he last page it said ‘specialist drink available on request’. “Give me a couple minutes” she said before walking away form the bar and going behind a door.

Runa started to explain that there was a whole case in storage she could pull from but the Catian woman was already gone, so she simply called, “Thanks” to the retreating figure.

While the Catian was gone another person approached the bar “So you’re Runa Edman. I recognize you from you personnel file. Councilor, teacher and temporary owner of that punk bar down the corridor. That is certainly a lot of hats to wear” Zhira said her tone was alluring a common trait of Orion women.

“I assume Camri is getting you a specialized drink. I do hope we have it. I try to stock as may verities as I can. Of course if you need or want anything specific I’m sure I’ll get it for you. One way or the other” she added after she took a seat. her motions where effortless and graceful.

“It’s in the replicator files, and if she really wants the real thing, there is a case in storage for the lounge. My sister and I ordered a case for ourselves,” Runa smiled, “I try not to make things difficult....often.” Runa turned fully on the stool to face the woman as she sat down. “And you are Zhira owner of this establishment. I expect I will seeing you and your staff in the counseling office, briefly, over the next week.” She laughed then, “Oh don’t let Big Mike or the security chief catch you calling me the owner. The chief will toss me in the brig for ‘theft’ and there is no telling what Big Mike would do to me. Let’s say ‘guardian’ is the more appropriate term. But at the moment I am wearing none of those hats.”
