Aihia… Explores?

Hmm..” Ael pondered this for several moments, her steel eyes assuming a thoughtful nature. “I wasn’t born in the Federation. I know, shocker.” Sarcasm dripped from her tone, referencing the generalization of her Romulan heritage. “Anyways, as I grew up, my father always pressed War College. Where was I to go, after finishing primary schooling? War College. What was I to do, in order to get a job? War College. Where should I go, to better my person? War College.” She paused, “I’m not certain if you know this, however Romulus does possess one of these colleges deemed the Imperial War College.” : : : : : : : : : : CO : : : : : : : : Dan chuckled. “Kind of like Starfleet Academy for the Imperial military, right? Dumps you right into the service?” : : : : : : : : -Dan Vladar : : : : : : “Exactly! The moment you finished courses, you were thrust into the Romulan military. Which, trust my word, isn’t fun.” Aihia scrunched her nose, “Unless, of course, you enjoy being bossed around like some kind of mindless slug.” : : : : : : CO : : : : “I’ve heard the Romulan military is… less than friendly. And that description certainly fits.” : : : : -Dan Vladar : : “I mean no disrespect to my own culture and planet, however, the Romulan military is incredibly stern with a battalion of uncooperative officers, heading several of their excursions. They are undeniably strong, despite the illogic in their claim to be infallible, and incredibly witty, in comparison to our Klingon foes. However, no. The Romulan military is hardly friendly, especially in comparison to the Terran.” Aihia tried sipping at her drink again, only to find it had melted in the head of the Risan sun. Raising a row at it, she wrinkled her nose, setting it back down. : : CO Dan looked down at his drink. Lost to time as well. “Humanity is kinder to the people it sends to die than other cultures.” He paused. “What happened to the jovial laughter and conversation? I apologise for my dark past tainting the afternoon. Something different… Risa itself. What do you make of a culture that’s dedicated itself and its resources to forming a giant resort?” Dan Vladar
“Don’t worry of it, Dan. It was a good topic to converse, regardless of melancholy nature.” Aihia dismissed, waving her hand as she cast a glance about their surroundings. “They are known as the pleasure people, for a reason. It would seem that their choice to maintain such a society, as contributed to their overall peace. They have not been members of a war or any political battle, for quite some time. While one might debate that this peace will be their damnation, it seems to suit them and their tourist, as of now. What do you make of it?”
