Commodore Jalana Rajel - We have something for that
Jess
(( Jalana's office ))
There it was. She had not expected that, Jalana knew. No matter
how much Charlotte tried to keep her face straight there still was
a little hint of being taken a back.
Brexis: Wait… What? ::With genuine confusion:: You want me to
address you how?
Rajel: ::laughing:: Jalana. It's my name you know?
Brexis: So is Rajel. Which is usually followed by ‘Captain’.
::holding her hands up in confusion:: Since you are… The Captain.
Rajel: ::waved slightly:: Way too formal. I mean it doesn't stop
some of the crew to still do it, but I prefer if you wouldn't.
Please sit, would you like something to drink? ::She gestured at
the replicator:: feel free to serve yourself.
Brexis: ::Straightening herself out and folding her hands behind
her back:: Right. Jalana it is then.
The Trill lowered herself on the beanbag chair and pulled her feet
up onto it to fold her legs under. Just then it may be clear that
she was barefoot, her uniform boots stood to the side.
Rajel: I hope you had a pleasant flight to this far out part of
the Galaxy. Usually we woudl welcome you on Starbase 104 further
south, but we took some damage we need repaired.
Brexis: ::Nodding firmly:: Thank you. Tucker station doesn’t seem
so bad. I’m sure I will see 104 at some point.
Rajel: So how about you tell me something about you I can't read
in your file? I like to get to know my crew beyond what Starfleet
queezed out of you.
She grinned and picked up her cup to take a sip. The scent of the
Betazoid jestral tea filled the room and her nose.
Brexis: ::Blurting out before fully thinking:: I like flowers.
An amused smile played around the lips of the Trill as she lowered
her cup.
Rajel: Flowers? That is lovely. Then you would enjoy the aborethum
I'm sure.
Brexis: Uh, yes. Flowers. My mother used to curate rare Betazoid
hybrids when I was a child. ::Relaxing a bit more:: And as I am
sure you will discover at some point on leave, that almost every
surface of my skin under this uniform is tattooed with flowers.
Jalana's brows rose into her hairline. She was going to discover
that? Good to know. A chuckle came over her lips and nodded
slightly.
Rajel: If you are still interested in this kind of work with
flowers, you should meet our botanists. We have Sherana who is
taking care of the Aborethum half time. And you can also meet Atan
Evria she too is a botanist and she had a flower shop before
coming here. ::raising her up again.:: Any other interests?
She took her sip while Charlotte looked like she was relaxing more
and finally sat down on the ottoman, even if she kept a proper
posture.
Brexis: Other than flowers… ::Shrugging a bit:: I like explosions.
::beat:: Controlled explosions. ::Another beat:: Where no one gets
hurt.
Rajel: ::laughing:: That's the first time someone offers that
freely to me. Interesting. Does it only mean big explosions or
also small ones? Is it the noise? The chaos? The look of it?
Brexis: Response
Rajel: I'm sure. ::chuckling:: If you like the noise and the chaos
of it, it may be very small scale but you may enjoy our Rage room,
smashing objects with tools of your choice. Engineering and
science might also have ways to work on controlled explosions. Or
you know the holodeck, if the simulated thing does it in a pinch.
Brexis: Response
Rajel: I think it's important that you can follow your passions.
Life is more than work. I know it's ironic to come from a CO, but
I've gone the all work and no play route before in several lives,
and it never ended well. So I'm trying something different.
::smirking::
Brexis: Response
Rajel: Well fair is fair, what do you want to know Charlotte?
