“I don’t know about that, Dauntless is a primarily war-based ship.” Ael remarked, a facetiousness hanging in the air as she took another bite of her wrap. She was not used to the welcoming presence of noise; far too long she had spent staring at the walls of her quarters, ready to rip her hair from its roots in irritation by the deafening silence. It was nice–to have company, that was. The last time she could recall enjoying a meal with someone who wasn’t on official business had been in her Ensign and Lt. years, days thrust long behind her in their oddity. “Speaking of Dauntless–how are you holding up at her new Chief Engineer?” She asked, raising her attention back to Heather. “I know the change was abrupt, and I apologise for that. Hopefully it has not caused you too much trouble?”

“So far so good, no trouble and the rest of engineering seems to have adjusted to the fact that I’m their Chief now. I was mostly acting as Si’Rek’s Assistant Chief anyways so it was an easy switch over. Though I do miss him now and again he made it look easy.” Heather admitted. She smiled softly as she sipped at her drink. “I must say though Captain, nice switch in conversation to hand it back to me,” Heather said with a soft laugh as she was enjoying their dinner as well.

“Si’Rek spoke highly of you, Heather. And from what I’ve seen, it is no wonder he did.” She missed Si’Rek as much as Argeneau did, but she was glad to have a competent woman taking over his position. “He will be sorely missed, but I’ve no doubt the Dauntless will be better than ever with our oncoming Executive.”

“Ael, please.” She smirked, “You caught that?” Ael figured her mastery of the elusion was sublime, but she was sadly mistaken. “It seems I need to touch up on my game.”

“Not hard to miss, but then I have sharp skills and it is obvious when someone doesn’t wish to talk about themselves. I tend to use the elusion tricks as well.” Heather said softly.

“Great minds think alike,” Aihia tipped her glass in a quiet gesture to Heather. “I suppose when you’ve live as long as yourself, or have done with your life what I have, there comes as point when you despise conversation about yourself.”

“How about we forgo the deep conversation for a bit. Yes, we’re not exaxtly mundane individuals, but perhaps such chatter could do us some good.” She suggested with a smile. “To begin.. what’s your favourite colour.”

No emotion, no personal attachment, just simple, frivolous questions. Oh how she sometimes missed the quotidian lifestyle.

Heather thought about this for a moment, “I would have to say it’s a cross between Purple and Blue.” She admitted, “Yours?” She asked with a smirk.

“So.. essentially indigo?” Aihia pointed out, leaning back in her seat. “I’m not an expert at colors, but if it’s on the spectrum, I’d have to say silver. It reminds me of home,” she remarked. “How about food? Considering you choose to eat that day.”

“Silvers a good color, as for food, no I don’t have a favorite food, I do not exact eat, but if I had to say this would be one of my favorite meals right here,” Heather smirked this had been a good meal. But she couldn’t eat a lot because her stomach was very small at the moment. “Do you have a favorite food captain?” Heather asked curiously.

“Flattery will get you nowhere, Lieutenant.” Aihia smirked, tucking a strand of loose hair behind a pointed ear. “…But it might score you some brownie points.” Frivolity laced her voice, a side rarely seen of the gruff Romulan. “Japanese sweet potatoes,” Without hesitation, Ael laid it on the table. “I’m not sure if you’ve ever had the luxury of trying one, but there is nothing like it.”
