Marishka looked at the image Valeea was creating. It did seem rather lovely and meditative in it’s own way.

“I needed to practice. All the holodecks were booked and I don’t really feel like having a piano in my quarters. Besides, if you ask half the crew, they’ll tell you how much their brazen CIO loves and audience.” she said with a mischievous grin.

Valleea looked amused. “Music is meant to be shared, though I can understand at times needing solitude. Sometimes one ends up being the other too.” She thought back to her chance encounter with Dagen in the Jefferies tube and how her humming had led to them meeting.” But she eyed Marishka more deeply. “And as for the crew, they don’t realize they’re just making your job easier.” Especially in that people revealed their true selves in such encounters and Marishka likely had a good sense of the types of people on the ship and how that could be beneficial or detrimental in any given situation.

“So tell me a little bit about Kriosian music. I’m always interested in expanding my repertoire. Perhaps I can find something suitable for the next time I decide to play the bar.” she said setting her glass down.

Securing a final stitch, Valleea set her embroidery to the side. “Hmmm, well, like any society that highly values art, musical expression is very important. There are some interesting divisions though. The First Monarch has typically championed a particular type or style of music and during their reign it tends to be popular and create successive spinoffs. There are whole dynasties that have essentially been responsible for an entire genre of music.” Valleea leaned forward, her grey eyes lighting up ever so slightly. “My favourite are the operas of the Sholashylan Dynasty. Over three hundred and fifty years worth of epic dramas told through song. And the costumes and sets were so lavish. It makes the balls my parents used to take me to pale in comparison.”

Marishka thought that sounded very Klingon, and Orion.

“That sounds very exciting. I know what it’s like to b e a child at one of those things. I’m going to have to find some of those operas to listen to. A whole dynasty, how far reaching that must be, even today.” she said eyeing Valleea’s embroidery.

Such a pretty little thing could hold many secrets if one knew how to make the proper stitches.
