“So how did you become interested in the mental health field?” Duvosa asked. The bartender appeared at the end of the question, setting two drinks on the table and then scurrying off.

Ana’s dark eyes widened as she watched Duvosa finish her drink and then signal for two more. There was a big difference between a small sip and a drink of her own, she thought anxiously for a moment, watching as the bartender went to prepare the beverages for the women and then his path from the bar to their table. She stared again at the ice cubes and the liquid rippling around them following the impact on the table for a few seconds. Not looking up, she commented simply, “I was a child during the Dominion occupation.” She reached out for the glass and moved it in a small circle on the table, enjoying the distraction of the flow of the liquid. “It affected everyone differently and that interested me.” With a small sigh, she picked the glass up and took a hesitant sip, more than she had from Duvosa’s glass but not enough to truly feel any burn from the alcohol content. “How did you become interested in security?” She tried to remember if she had asked that during her appointment with Duvosa, but right now, she just couldn’t remember.

Duvosa gave a shrug of her shoulders. “When I was a kid I got bullied in school. I finally grew tired of it and started training myself how to fight when I was 11. I learned many different combat styles and mastered most weapons by the time I was 14. Those bullies never bothered me again.”

Outwardly, Ana showed very little reaction to the information about Duvosa’s past, but inwardly, her gaze on the glass of alcohol in front of her had her pondering whether it would be rude to simply knock it back at this point. She closed her eyes for the briefest moment before taking another small sip. “That sounds difficult,” she finally murmured. She pushed the glass in a circle again before her deep black eyes met the Romulan’s. “Maybe you could teach me something some time.”
