Kane made his way to the Lounge and took a table near one of the windows. He sat down and waited for the CMO to take a seat herself. As he looked around, he saw a few people playing games and few in quiet conversation. Brushing his hair out of his face, he pulled out a small band of elastic and tied the normally wild and cascading hair back into a half-hearted attempt at a pony tail.

“The somewhat rarity of seeing your hair out of your face, Mister Kane, is appaling but not unpleasant.” Was that a playful joke? It was hard to tell with the monotony of its delivery. However, even if it were, T’Aria would not be as foolish as to admit it. Noticing the calmer nature of the lounge, she found it was pleasing. Adjusting herself, about where she had taken a seat, she glanced over at him. “What was your take on the performance, Doctor?” She inquired, blandly curious.

“Its always an absurd waste of time. But it’s an excuse to make a mess, and it can be fun in the right group.” Kane replied flatly. “So. What would you like to drink, Doc? My treat. I’m feeling philanthropic tonight.”

Kane, Tac / Med

“Fair,” T’Aria subitted, but said nothing more regarding the matter. “I do not often consume much more than water and tea. Do you have anything in particular that you find to be of at least decent taste?” The doctor was open to new avenues, in most cases. That was, so long as the drink didn’t contain sugar. She would not go that route. “Your generosity is appreciated, but unnecessary, Doctor.”

T’Aria

Kane shook his head. “No no no. I’m no doctor. No thank you. I’m either Kane or, if you want to be formal, PA Kane. And yeah, I got something you might like.” and he stood and went to the galley. He came back a few minutes later with two cups of steaming liquid. “You said tea, so you can try that on for size.” he said as set the cup in front of her. It smelled faintly of hibiscus and… something else that was hard to place. Kane sat and took a sip of his own and watched to see what her reaction would be.

“Very well, Kane.” T’Aria agreed, finding that the request was understandable. Quirking an eyebrow, there was an undeniable curosity for what he had chosen for them to drink. Watching him leave, she adjusted her hands about the surface, to where it was comfortable for her. Raising her head, she studied the liquid he set down upon the table, recognizing the scent of hibiscus, which was apparent to her sensitive sensory.

“Thank you,” T’Aria hummed, picking up the cup and bringing it to her lips. When she tried it, she was taken slightly off guard. It was a taste she couldn’t quite place nor understand fully. “What is this?” She asked.

T’Aria

Kane smirked a bit and said “A little something I swiped from the Botanical Garden back home. Hibiscus flower, jasmine, rose water, and Darjeeling tea. Blended it myself. What do ya think. Doc?”

Kane, Tac / Med

“It is not an unwelcome taste, Kane. In fact, you did quite well in blending the flavors together.” She commended, sipping at the variation of tea she had been offered. “Quite relaxing, truly.”

Dr. T’Aria

Kane smiled slightly as he took a sip of the drink in front of him. “Thought you’d dig it. Guess I’m not just eye-candy for Sickbay, huh?” and he sat his drink down. “So. Tell me something, Doc. Why did you go to the show? I mean, I know it. And I know it well enough to know that it isn’t something your people would typically go to.”

Kane, Tac / Med

“I suppose not,” T’Aria returned, inclining her head in place of a smile. For a moment, she seemed hesitant to respond, being without much of one. “I went for the experience, Kane. I am keeping residence and working upon a human ship. It should seem only wise to understand more of the culture.” In other words, just because she was interested and wanted to. “If you know the show so well, why did you go? A matter of seeing something you enjoyed?”
