Vitor took Genkos invitation and joined him in an old style pub.
He had a taste of strawberry sour beer
Silveira: Definitely not my cup of tea. And I also don’t like tea, unless it's peach ice tea.
Vitor shook his head. But he took a long breath and grabbed the pint again, now taking a longer sip. There was nothing there to the advantage of the strawberry sour beer.
Not even the freshness from a good cold beer. This was simply a pink concoction.
Adea: Glutton for punishment?
Silveira: Public service. That way it's a bit less for someone else to drink it. ::He shrugged.:: What can we do? One day we are fighting Changeling and Borg, the next we are drying a pub of their taste offensive drinks. ::He forced a smile and leaned back.:: How are you doing? And do you have any news from Kali?
Genkos waved a barman over.
Adea: First up, let’s get you a better drink. I’ll have the sour. Do, sit.
Vitor smiled, nodded and leaned back in his seat. Setting aside what was left of the strawberry beer he raised his hand to the staff behind the bar.
Silveira: Get me a gin please.
The barman took Vitor’s order and Genkos steepled his hands in front of himself.
Adea: I am doing okay, Vitor. I saw Kalianna not long before this whole Frontier Day mess - she sends her love.
Vitor nodded. It was good to hear from her.
Silveira: Good. And has she been up to?
Adea: Oh you know, the usual. Patrolling the Borderlands, fighting the good fight, ::a smirk:: pining after handsome Betazoid doctors.
Vitor smirked and nodded, in a silent thank you, to the barman as he set down his new beverage
Silveira: Most certainly. Send her my love as well and…
Vitor paused. He started playing with his glass, staring at it as his smile died down.
Adea: Response
Vitor shrugged and took a long sip of gin. He set down the glass and looked back at Genkos.
Silveira: And I was going to say to give me a call if she needed a Tactical Officer. But I reconsidered. Who wants one that panics when he gets scratched? Not my brightest moment.
Adea: Response
Vitor leaned back. He had this conversation with Nan, sharing his fears.
And then there was that. Nan herself and the feelings he had for her.
Vitor was still trying to figure them out.
Perhaps he could use a change of scenery.
Silveira: I don’t know… There’s been a lot going through my mind… And my heart… ::He tipped his head and gave Genkos an apologetic smile.:: You of all people know how overly emotional I am and how that usually clouds my judgment.
Genkos was unlucky enough to witness that first hand in the Resolution.
