Captain S'Ten tr'Khev

Ssuaj-ha, rekkhai.

*He stood, saluted, and left.*

I...I will not, rekkhai.

That is much better than execution...

H-how, rekkhai?

I know that, rekkhai...

I...I was not thinking, rekkhai...

*He sat, trying to hide his trembling.*

I suppose you will "lay into me," as Terrans say.

Very well...

*They walked to the quarters Tomalak had been given for his visits.*

*Stands ready to beam over to their native universe*

Yes, Captain Tuvok...I am ready.

*Holding a bag filled with some of his few belongings with another filled with the rest slung over his shoulder*

I see...I suppose I am fortunate to allowed that much time.

How much time will you allow me?

I see...Is it urgent?

Captain Tuvok...I suppose I do. What are you going to do to me?

I was merely surprised to hear that you are still alive. My apologies for disturbing you...

// Block him. He's a manipulative, whiny, predatory creep.

S'Ten, formerly a Subcommander in the Imperial Fleet...I was married to Commander To'Ra.

A vampire? Terran legends...

That is good.

I do not mind.

It has one bed, but we could get another put in.

I am.

I suppose you could stay in my quarters if you wish. However, I would understand if you are uncomfortable with that idea.

Yes, that would be nice.

As am I.

Is that idea unattractive to you?

If we become a couple at some point, we would be extending our counterparts' romance to our own universe.

*His uneasiness gave way to subtle amusement, and he gave a low chuckle.*

Interesting.

Ah...yes, you are my counterpart's wife's counterpart, correct?

You know my name, so I suppose it would be only fair for me to know yours.
