Lieutenant JG Indrid Yirah - With Friends Like These

[Zeno]

(( Holodeck 2 - Masquerade Ball )

The party was in full swing, from his table Indrid liked observing all of the different costumes and outfits that people had dressed up in. Georgio had done a great job setting up the festivities, it was all very refined, and Indrid admired the hologram's restraint. He knew full well that Georgio was a connoisseur of all things glitter and (from Indrid's perspective) seemed to scoff at the phrase less-is-more. Indrid supposed he shouldn't be surprised at this point, from haircuts to spy days, to outfits for every occasion, Georgio always seemed to know exactly what the people wanted to a level of accuracy that was impressive even for an artificial lifeform. To match the classiness, Indrid was elegantly shoveling food into his mouth. 

oO You didn't compliment him. Oo The thought sparked in Indrid's mind mid-bite. oO You should have told him as much when he greeted you when you arrived... Oo

Park: Whatcha got there?

Indrid nearly choked on his food, head whipping around to face Ellie where she had leaned down to speak directly into his ear, before quickly turning back around and grabbing a napkin so that he didn't cough in her face. 

Yirah: ::cough:: Ell- ::cough:: -ie! ::cough::

She took a step back with her hands raised, giggling. 

Park: alright, alright I’m sorry.

Finishing his coughing fit, but now working on catching his breath, Indrid leaned back in his chair, tilting his head to glare at Ellie.

Park: Care if I join you or do you hate me too much now?

Indrid tried to continue his glare, but he quickly felt it faltering. He closed his eyes, to try to hide the smile he knew was developing in them. 

oO She won't get away with this so easy! Oo He tried grabbing at the last thread of annoyance but it was too late, he already had a wide smile on his face. 

oO It's Ellie! Yes! Oo He opened his eyes again, no reason to hide the smile in his eyes when the rest of his face was already doing it. 

Yirah: ::jokingly:: Taking notes from Diz'mim, hmm? Tormenting Indrid 101?

He gestured to the table for her to sit down.

Park: response

As she settled into her chair, Indrid leaned forward again. 

Yirah: The Commander and I had an adventure on the station.

Park: response

Yirah: And to answer your question from earlier... ::gesturing to his plate:: It's a daedra flavored cake with raspberry jam.

Park: response
