J’molla noticed that particular smile whenever Flynn wanted to change the subject. Perhaps human’s found it engaging. “Tell me about this old scrap.” He was good at his job and knew that something about their conversation had made him remember that something from a long time ago.

“I’m not sure what there really is to tell,” Flynn leaned back stretching his legs out in front of him and folded his arms “I punched someone, they punched me, we fought.”

He smirked “I won,”

J’molla leaned back and nodded, “What did you fight about? What started it?”

Fraiser’s eye twitched, but his smooth smile stayed on. “Sh-he. He,” Fraiser quickly corrected himself, “Threatened my younger brother,” It wasn’t a lie, he was referring to a fight he had had, it just wasn’t what he believed J’molla was asking about, “If it had been one of my older brothers I wouldn’t have cared, but Bryan, he’s soft. Mother coddled him too much when we were growing up,”

“He wanted Bryan to cough up money for protection,” Friaser scoffed, “Can you believe it? I showed him Bryan didn’t need it.”

The slip of the tongue and the twitch of the eye didn’t miss J’molla’s notice “She? Who was she?” Khommrarc would come back to the rest of that after.

“Freudian slip. Have you heard the term?” He continued without giving Khommrarc a chance to reply, “It’s when you say one thing but mean a mother.”

The ridges on his brow went up and there was a smirk. Was that another ‘Freudian slip’ or was the man’s humor so unrefined as it was on purpose? J’molla knew that Fraiser thought he was quite funny and charming to everyone.

“Which in this case was some thugs that tried to go after my brother. They think that just because they run a rundown bar that they could do what they liked. It’s not what my mother dreamed of when she got the bar, but she’s never managed to make enough to be able to afford to turn it into what she dreamed it would be.”

“I send most of what I make to her, anything I don’t need. It’s not like I have a family of my own. I don’t even have a girlfriend.”

“That is honorable of you, to support your family.” He glanced down at his PaDD, not that he needed to, but to give a small pause before looking up and speaking again, “But you did.”

“Someone had to step up and be the man since my older brothers are useless,” ‘

Flynn’s gut twisted, there was a brief unrecognisable emotion that appeared into his eyes then he gave his usual charming smile, “I did. I could have another one if I wanted to, plenty really. The attention is nice,” he smirked, “but they’re all the same. Clones. So, I just do the gentlemanly thing and indulge them for a drink or a dinner or two and then leave it at that.”

Khommrarc didn’t buy the charm for a minute. “How do you manage to actually operate in life, Lt? Everyone is useless to you. You must be extremely exceptional to see everyone as no more than ants or really slugs beneath your notice.”

N Lt. Cmdr. J’molla Khommrarc, CNS

“I appreciate the compliment Counselor, but I am humble enough to know I’m not exceptional.” He smirked, “Just pretty close to it,” he chuckled. He was joking, although with how confident and arrogant he was it could easily be misinterpreted as more arrogance. “If I was exceptional, I’d be a Captain by now, but I’m not James T. Kirk. One day I will be but not yet.”

His voice became quieter like a rumble before a storm. “I don’t think everyone is beneath me. Whatever you think of me, there are people that I respect or care about and even love.”
