((Star Station Esperence, Guest Suites))
::G’var, Ukinix and Teller had spent the morning shopping in one of the fancier mercantile districts of Esperence, ostensibly to purchase some gifts that Wil and G’var could share with Wil’s family back on Earth. The trio had made their way back to the semi-demolished guest quarters the couple were sharing to deposit their purchases and planned to spend the day relaxing as best they could after a few too many evenings spent partying. Upon opening the door, they were stunned to find a barely dressed Orion woman liaising comfortably on the rooms couch, swirling a glass of wine and eating grapes.::
IA: ::demur smile:: Darlings, how wonderful it must be for you to see me again. It is I, Mistress IA, here to make all your dreams come true.
::The Starfleet trio were too shocked to immediately respond and stood in the doorway with various looks of stupefaction plastered across their features.::
IA: Speechless, of course, as you should be in the presence of my magnificence. ::Rising and crossing to them:: I must say, this room has received quite the once over. I had no idea you Starfleet types could be so….energetic. ::placing a finger on Ukinix’s cheek:: Where was this enthusiasm when we were stuck on that dreadful little moon, I wonder? Pity.
::Wil hadn't had much to do with IA before. He'd always found her interesting.::
Ukinix: Well, hello you.
::IA crossed to G’var, whose shock was quickly giving way to anger.::
IA: ::running a hand up G’var’s prosthetic arm.:: Oh, we could’ve had a lot of fun with this…
::G’var muttered something obscene under her breath and pushed forward but IA nimbly sprang out of the way, giggling coyly.::
IA: ...but let's save that for after we’re all richer than the Nagus, darlings. Come now, is that any way to speak to the woman to whom you owe so much?
::Teller finally regained the faculties to speak as Ukinix tried, with limited success, to keep G’var and IA apart::
Teller: How...how are you...when….why aren’t you in prison?!
IA: ::sighing:: Oh, little spitfire! How I’ve missed your sputtering. To answer the question that I’m certain is rattling around all your cute little heads….would you believe they released me for good behavior? ::batting eyes innocently::
Teller/G’var: NO!
