The purple-haired Napean smiled. “Of course, she’s expecting you,” Sreer said, rising and leading Shrine to Dasca’s door. She knocked, opened the door and smiled. “Alice Shrine to see you, ma’am.”

“Thank you, Elema,” Dasca said with a warm smile as she tapped a couple keys and turned off her screen, pushed herself to her feet and moved around the desk.
“Do you want me to order for you?” the assistant said.
Eela nodded. “In about half an hour, before you head out is fine.”
“Okay.” Elema gave Shrine a bow of her head and stepped back out of the office, closing the door behind her.

In the spacious office, there was little sign that Dasca intended to be packing up to go home any time soon: an assortment of padds sorted into piles on the desk, a half-filled glass of water, an empty plate that held crumbs from one of the pastries from Sharah that Cort insisted on sharing (despite her protests that they were for them). But several hours into her mountain of work and it was admittedly nice to have break from it all. Her blazer was draped on the back of her chair, and she had taken the clawed clip out of her hair ages ago.

With a fluid gesture towards the sitting area, Eela smiled. “It’s nice to see you again Nurse Shrine. Come, let’s sit and talk and you can explain more about this auction that Sharah was telling me about.”

“Lt. Gov. Dasca, thank you for meeting with me.” Shrine grinned a hint of wicked micheviousness that only an elder could know crossed her lips. “Ah, and did Dr Fayth claim I was holding her feet to the fire?” She chuckled as she sat, “I am.”

Eela laughed. “Yes, she seems a bit disgruntled about that fact, but it’s sometimes good for a person.”

“Well as I said in my note, Sacred Heart has a charity division and we host a fund raiser every year. This year we are providing assistance for the refugees arriving. Between the colonial government and Star Fleet they are getting their basic needs met, but it is not enough to really to make a life here. We, well I, wanted to do something different. So we are holding a Bachelorette auction. It is going to be marvelous fun.”

Shrine

She nodded and wondered how long she should play this out, but Dasca was admittedly curious how Alice Shrine would make this seem enticing. “And I think that is not only a very worthy cause but a fun way to go about a fundraiser. Not one you see all the time these days. So how can my office help your efforts?” she asked with a measure of curiosity.

~Eela Dasca, Lt. Gov.

Shrine smiled, “Well of course we would love for you to participate. I don’t know what your Bachelorette status is. Perhaps Cpt McBride has already taken care of that? He was very attentive the other night.” Shrine was a nosey old woman and loved gossip. She would never ever spread it but she loved to collect it. But it was quite clear that despite Eela’s position, Shrine was teasing and in no way being malicious. “I would not want to cause strife, but you have made quite an impression on the people of Oed already. Serious and able to get things done, and don’t tolerate…we’ll say idiots as a nice word. It would do good for people to see you in a more light hearted way in support of the colony. Perhaps you would Eemcee? Unless of course you are single and could add you to the line up. Your presence in any capacity would draw more attention to the event.”
