Natasha had spent the better part of her day shopping for gifts for different people after she visited the Dominion War Memorial, quite impressive that they keep a running tally of the cost of the Dominion War. It reminded her that not all costs were immediately discernible; war seemed to have an ongoing cost of conflict. The Ferengi Center for Forged Arts was not exactly what she expected, but interesting nonetheless.

 

As she walked around the area she passed a place called Azaqu Premium Arena which appeared to be branded the Slug-nasium. She wondered if it was purely for entertainment, or if people can sign-up to spar. Since she was carrying a few bags it might not be a wise idea to check it out.

 

She was getting a little hungry, looking around she saw a place called Appetite Optional. The name seemed intriguing enough, and wondered if it was a fusion style place or something more metaphorical type establishment. Entering she looked around and spotted Bancroft and was about to wave, getting his attention, but stopped once she realized he was sitting with Captain McKenzie and Commander Munro. She stopped herself, smiled a little mischievous smile and got the proprietor’s attention.

 

Cole: My friends are over there, and I’d like to surprise them with the spiciest Bajoran Hasperat you’ve got on the menu.

 

The Ferengi looked over towards the table with the Captain and company were at, and then looked back to her with their palm open with a less than subtle clearing of his throat.

 

She dropped a few strips into his hand, which prompted them to play with the strips considering her request.

 

Cole: ::tossing him three more:: I’ll also take a Cardassian Dog to go.

 

Ferengi: You have a deal, Human.

 

They disappeared into the kitchen and a moment later had a Cardassian Dog, with what looked like it was topped with something similar to jalapeños. While she wanted to stay and watch their reactions to the surprise Hasperat, she wanted to see who else she might find herself crossing paths with.

 

After exiting Appetite Optional she walked around more while eating her Cardassian Dog people watching and seeing where her feet took her. After she rounded a corner she spotted a familiar profile.

 

Cole: Imril! ::waving her arm high::

 

Imril: Response

 

Cole: What have you been doing on your visit?

 

Imril: Response

 

Cole: I did some shopping, mind if I joined you?

 

Imril: Response
