Things on OED were routine. Not to say that it wasn’t interesting. The work of a spy always was, and activity had picked up after the dome disappeared. There was an influx of people and an equally suspicious exiting of people. It was the way of things. The two properties Eryn and Vonn had purchased had come along nicely and they were officially ‘settled’ at Presidio. Eryn still preferred The Garden residence and they spent most of their time there, unknown to everyone else. Davivica had found her a nice little studio for her metal working. The provisions they had ordered at the market had arrived with very little fuss or drama. Eryn was rather disappointed about that.

But they had fallen into a routine. One that perpetuated her cover quite well, but it was still routine. So Eryn decided out of pure boredom one morning she was going to visit the governor. Why? Because she could, and he was intriguing. She stopped at the small coffee cart outside the building and the, as before, she made her way, unseen, into his office. She placed the coffee and a small boxed package in his desk and then took a seat on one of the couches to wait.

Romanov

At least she thought she had been unseen. A voice from… somewhere… said “Ms. Romanov, kindly remove your feet from my table. And I prefer tea to coffee for future reference, but I appreciate that you took the time to stop before breaking in… again. So I will join you. Five minutes, please.”

Ah! It brought a smile to her face. She sat up, feet on the table, well ankles she was careful of the shoes, probably was a bit much. She dropped her feet and slipped at the absolutely decadent hot chocolate in her cup. She glanced at the small box. “Thank you.” For what? With Eryn there was no telling.

Five minutes later, exactly, the Governor rounded the wall the fireplace was set in and walked over and picked up the coffee, glanced at the package, left it there and joined Eryn in the seating area by the fire place. Hyrushi was dressed in a soft navy blue suit with a deep burgundy shirt and black tie. His obsidian eyes looked at Eryn as he sat and he said “To what do I owe the pleasure your company, Agent?”

Hyrushi, Gov.

Eryn’s obsidian gaze met his own. very little disguise in use today. Agent, yes she was in his employ was she not. A cog in his machine. What indeed had bright her here? Boredom? Curiosity? Enjoyment of teasing the man sitting across from her? Home sickness for a person that was forgotten but not gone? “I had noticed your preference for tea, Governor, but when I was last here you recommended the small cart outside the building. I couldn’t possibly partake without sharing with you since it was your recommendation.” She glanced at his tea pot and back to him His cup was warm but decidedly lacking in aroma. “I would never bring a devout tea drinker coffee. It would be very ungrateful. You might want to add something to your cup, unless you enjoy drinking hot water.” She nodded her head at the little box. “Jacarine tea.” It was a native Betazoid plant and the tea was very difficult to cultivate and impossible to get anywhere but on Betazed itself, and highly sought after. She had no doubts that Hyrushi had some or access to get it, but she’d brought it anyway.

Hyrushi inclined his head and went to the box, opened it and smelled it. He then took two pinches and dropped the loose leaf into the hot water in the traditional Betazoid style before returning and sitting across from Eryn. “Many thanks. But again, I must ask… why are you here? Is this an official visit? Or do you simply like breaking into my office?” He raised the cup to his lips and took a sip.

Hyrushi, Gov.
