LtCmdr Sasch Kreshkova - Strolled Along in Quietude

[Karen Morris]

((Primrose Gardens - San Francisco District - Starbase 118)) 

The conversation softened and slowed.  Between the two women, a lot of emotions filled the space, so much so that words were really not much needed.  

Haukea looked off down the winding path of the river and spied what appeared to almost be a secret garden, filled with paved paths of various materials - stone, wood - a variety of garden beds containing domestic flora from around the sector. In reality it was a visual painting of brightly muted pinks, greens, blues, oranges, a sweet, soft perfume for the nose. Perhaps a walk in that direction would clear the air. 

Willow: You see that down there? ::Haukea pointed a finger towards the secret garden:: Looks like a garden. 

Sasch scooted forward on the boulder and looked in the direction that Haukea indicated.  A smile spread across her face.

Kreshkova: Da.  I do. 

Allowing herself the space of two long breaths, she turned back toward her comrade.

Kreshkova:  It is beautiful down zhere.

Willow: Not sure what species the flora come from, though it does look magical. 

The wind - perhaps fabricated or perhaps like at the lake, created by the natural air currents disturbed by people, the rush of water or some other natural phenomenon that Sasch didn’t understand - rustled the long willowy stems of the flowers.  Sasch could almost imagine that she could smell their fragrance.

Kreshkova:  Magical is a very apt vord for zhat spot.

Willow: Perhaps a walk in that direction? Explore the garden. 

Sasch stood and brushed the back of her outfit off.  It might be in a starbase, but dirt was ubiquitous.  

Kreshkova:  I zhink zhat vould be a lovely idea.  Shall ve?

Sasch threaded her arm through Haukea’s.  Two old friends strolled along in quietude, enjoying nature and each other’s presence.
