Ria seemed to relax a little at that question and she actually managed to fully meet Solal’s gaze as she replied with a shy smile, “Kava is a plant native to Bajor. Both the roots and fruits are edible and are used for various things. Either on their one, like kava juice, or as an ingredient in a meal or even more like a seasoning.”

It was at this point that Achilleas returned carrying three cups. “A green tea for Solal. A kava juice for Ria. And an iced tea for me.” He said as he placed each beverage in their place before he took his seat. He gave a quick grin at them both before he lifted his cup and took a sip.

“It would be good to try it sometime,” said Solal to Ria, as he took a sip of his tea. “Thanks,” he said to Achilleas. “How has it been?” The small talk questions. Solal’s parents had taught him several ‘conversation starters’ and questions to help him seem less odd, to help him, well, make conversation.

“I’m okay,” Ria replied softly and a little shyly before taking a sip of her kava juice. It wasn’t the same as fresh juice from really kava fruits, but it still brought a small smile to her face as it brought back happy memories.

Achilleas shrugged briefly. “I don’t really have anything new to report. I’ve still been putting off talking to my family. Especially my grandmother, she’s very good at sniffing out secrets.”
