First Secretary Aitas - Differing Tastes

[Aitas]

((The Eriln, Rixx District, Amity Outpost))

While Aitas had visited a bit of the Betazed-themed district over the last year or so, she’d never quite gotten to checking out one of the more popular restaurants. Perhaps it was that it was relatively loud, perhaps it was that she’d usually been busy, or perhaps it was that she simply hadn’t had the energy to sort through their rather extensive catalogue of events.

But in any case she’d finally made it there, and found the food perfectly tolerable, the interior a bit more sound-proofed than she’d expected, and the company generally pleasant, even if she had drawn a bit of attention from a human who lacked the empathic ability to realize what any Betazoid would have realized very quickly: that he wasn’t Aitas’ type.

Also that he’d mixed up just when an event was occurring. 

Aitas: I believe that one is tomorrow, though I’ll admit I’ve never paid terribly close attention. ::She gestured at the calendar, which did have a regularly scheduled event marked with ‘find your Imzadi!’ on it. And the next round was indeed scheduled for the next evening.:: I prefer more casual sorts of events.

The man nodded; his expression dropped a little but he gave Aitas a polite nod, pushed his plate back on the counter, and then left. 

Aitas paused, and glanced over to the Klingon seated next to her. While Aitas had heard that they’d have a guest visiting to study the Paak, she’d not really had much of a chance to meet with them just yet. The trouble with underspace had thrown a great many things into disarray. 

Aitas: Are you here for the food or the activities?

Shortrith: Response

Aitas: I’ve considered the Tassa’akai league, but I’m usually at work when it meets.

She was also not exactly at the normal strength or telepathy level for the league, but it was listed as a casual, all-welcome sort of event. 

Shortrith: Response

Aitas: There is the book club as well. My son wants to do the cooking classes. And most of the dating events just aren’t my style. But others clearly appreciate them.

Though she did have to wonder how awkward it could be to be someone without even empathy attempting to navigate a largely Betazoid event. She’d always had something of the opposite problem. 

Shortrith: Response

Aitas: It’s not the largest station, but there is a bit of variety. I’ve spent quite a few evenings evaluating the different bars. I tend to have better luck at those. 

Three Stripes was still a favorite for the drinks, but there were others that she'd found to be particularly good for no-strings attached company. 

Shortrith: Response
