Lieutenant JG Miaxdiso Avoi - Friends in Frosty Places
Doz Finch
((Unibalu Pavilion, Prifddinas Mountains, Deluvia IV))
Miaxdiso Avoi had met with an old friend from her Academy days, Maarna, up in the freezing heights of the Unibalu Pavilion, a sensational and striking building cut into the mountain side like the nose of a jamboree boat, with snowy balconies forming different levels like delicious slices of cake.
Avoi: It’s honour-based legislation, which as you can imagine, Maarna, is a total nightmare to navigate!
Shunma: It does make the case sound more nebulous.
For the meet up, the blonde Betazoid had dressed herself in a thick powdered-blue, knee-length coat full of buttons, topped by a feathered fascinator, an outfit that worked perfectly both as a statement piece, and as a way of keeping her body warm, while her friend had opted for a darker and more practical ensemble, sharp and symmetrical in its design.
Avoi: Don’t I know it!
Shunma: How have you managed to do it so far?
Before continuing, they both sipped their cinnamon hot chocolates, and peered over the balconies edge at a passing cable car, within which a handful of tourists waved gleefully. Beyond the wire carrying it, a sweeping vista of cottony mountains towered like defiant giants on a planet usually known for its more tropical offerings. As she spoke again, vapour swirled between her painted lips and into the frosty air.
Avoi: By redefining honour. ::She blinked several times.:: At least, within the context of the situation.
Shunma: ::She smiled.:: Diplomatic reframing.
Avoi: Exactly!
Of course, talks were still ongoing and the paperwork had become as endless as her collection of bangles, but the progress that had been made had left her feverish for more. With a gleeful and satisfied squeak, she linked arms with Maarna as they walked the balcony perimeter, and between hot sips, continued their chittering catch up.
