Vitor raised an eyebrow. So Sada was sort of… Experimenting? Or was this a kind of… Therapy? Well, in an odd way it… Could make sense…
Silveira: Depends on the Counselor.
Jovenan: Did someone tell you to try organizing the dinner?
Sadar: Lt. Commander Jashkaa. Thus far, she’s had me get a phaser recertification, and now, a dinner party... ::sheepish smile:: Suppose she’s trying to cure me of one anxiety source at a time?
Vitor smiled and nodded. He had a session with Jashkaa as well and that tracked.
Silveira: Phaser certification? ::He winked.:: Well at least I hope we haven’t embarrassed you much.
Jovenan: Well, whatever the reason, I’m grateful for being invited. To think of it, if I had been told to organize a dinner for a few friends, you two would have been on the top of my list as well.
Sadar: I am doubly grateful you accepted the invitation. ::hesitant smile:: I-I don’t mean to be rude, but if you had rejected it, I frankly wouldn’t know who else to ask.
Vitor tipped his head with his mischievous grin.
Silveira: Do we have to write a report to Jashkaa? So far I will give you a straight A.
Nan laughed a little.
Jovenan: Do tell the Counsellor that you officiated a Mizarian couple’s ritual for us and could adapt it to our needs, despite we being particularly difficult about it. I’m sure she’ll be impressed by your performance.
Sadar: N-No, I hardly think that’s necessary, and Lt. Commander Jashkaa won’t expect one, but, uhh, thank you for offering.
Vitor laughed and reached Nan's hand, giving her a gentle squeeze.
Silveira: Then we must progress with this “active counseling session”. What’s the next dish?
Sadar: Ah yes, uhh... Th-This is Mizragavi. It’s boiled oyster shells stuffed with fried vegetables and melted cheese.
Vitor almost drools at the sight of the dish. He wasn’t particularly a fan of Terran oysters, but there was the scent from the fried vegetables and cheese that made him tingle in anticipation.
Jovenan: Looks interesting! But, uh, pardon my inexperience, but how do I eat the oysters? I don’t think I’ve eaten them before.
Sada hastily shook her head, as Vitor raised an eyebrow.
Sadar: Oh, uhh, I-I know you have a vegetarian diet, s-so I don’t mind at all if you just eat the salad, Lt. Commander.
Vitor looked between Sada and Nan.
Silveira: I can have the oysters if you eat them my love.
Jovenan: No, it’s quite alright! I must insist, you’ve gone through the trouble of preparing it for us, I have to try it!
Sada tightened her lips slightly, glancing at him. He gave her a discreet nod and then, she nodded and raised her hands to reach them towards the tray of Mizragavi.
Sadar: O-Okay, i-if you’re sure? ::picks up an oyster shell:: W-Well, there are two ways, depending on your preference. One way is eating it with a fork, which can help if you’re unfamiliar with it, but on Mizabet we eat it like this. ::holds it up:: The oyster itself is beneath the vegetables and boiling the shell will loosen its grip on the shell, so it’ll slide down if you tip the shell. J-Just, be careful, the cheese is still a bit hot.
Sada finished her demonstration by tipping the shell, and letting her slide.
Vitor smiled approvingly.
Silveira: I like this way better.
Nan followed the instructions, brought the oyster to her lips and swallowed it. Vitor noticed it wasn’t exactly to her liking, although Nan was polite not to voice it.
Jovenan: Is there something else Counsellor Jaskhaa is making you go through? Perhaps either of us could help you with it. Going outside your comfort zone is much easier with a friend, I would imagine.
Sadar: N-No, there’s nothing else. For now. I-I’m sure she’ll just be happy with a successful dinner party. Th-Though, I’m sure come next shore leave, she will have figured something else out for me.
Vitor smiled and took one of the oysters. It was as good as it smelled. The vegetables and the Mizarian cheese, because that certainly wasn’t anything like Earth cheese, were just the perfect match to give these oysters a great taste.
He really needed to get the recipe from Sada.
Silveira: We are here to help you if you need.
Jovenan: Response
Sada nodded slowly, sitting properly in her seat.
Sadar: I-I thank you, friends... ::wrings her hands:: Y-You have both been so patient with me, and... I, uhh... I owe everything I’ve accomplished this past year to your guidance.
Vitor shook his head and waved his hands in front of her.
Silveira: No, no, no… All your accomplishments are your own merit, we might just gave a little help, but the brunt of the work is yours.
And I thank you the patience and friendship you have for us.
Jovenan: Response
Sada smiled. Vitor felt good to see her do that more often. One of these days he would make her laugh, but really make her belly laugh.
She raised her glass of water to participate in the toast.
Sadar: To the Artemis-A.
Vitor raised his glass. Looked at Nan and then at Sada. But kept his thoughts to himself.
oO To love, my love Nan, my beloved friend Sada. To love of friends, love of comrades and love of ship. Oo
