Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 12:16 AM

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 08-Dec-20 12:16 AM

*Ellou arrived somewhat early, dressed in a winter coat, dark blue jeans and a dark purple shirt that managed to show off her figure. Just a little. Blissfully unaware of Mevi's little predicament, she smilingly awaited her friend.*

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 12:24 AM

*After maybe half an hour, Mevi beams down just outside the door and comes running in, huffing a little from running through the corridors of the Odyssey to get to the nearest transporter. After looking around and spotting Ella, she moves though the crowded restaurant, offering pleas and sorries to the various customers, most of whom are facing screens and watching a football match. She reaches the table and plops down unceremoniously, panting a little.* “Hi. I’m so sorry I’m late. Long night.” *She tears off her scarf, breathing hard, and leans back in her chair.*

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 08-Dec-20 12:26 AM

"Hey." *Ella reached over, patting her softly on the shoulder. She could see how hard the Orion had been running to get here - which was a clear indication of how she did not like to be late. A good trait, she thought.* "Just come from ab appointment maybe?"

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 12:29 AM

“Overslept, actually. It was… a very interesting night, shall we say.” *The flush creeping over Mevi’s face might’ve been from the increased cardiovascular activity or an emotional response, but she was glad for the ambiguity.* “This is a nice place! Thanks for asking me to come. Have you got any recommendations for food?”

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 08-Dec-20 12:31 AM

"Yorkshire pudding, fish and chips, maybe bangers and mash?" *Ellou's smile grew. Just a little.* "My mother let me try all of these and would bring me here whenever we were on Earth. She lived in London for three years before Starfleet in fact."

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 12:34 AM

“Y’know what? I’m hungry and I could eat. Let’s just get all of that.” *She looked over at Ellou, sizing her up, a little like one might examine the fish tanks at a seafood restaurant. Wondering if Drunk Mevi’s decision was actually the best after all. But Not-Drunk Mevi had to deal with that and she smiled. It was her instinctive response.*

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 08-Dec-20 12:37 AM

"All of it. Deal. We'll share the lot." *The order was swiftly placed. Ella discarded her jacket off to the side in a neat pile, leaving her neck exposrd to the air.* "So!" *She chirped,* "I hope the crew treats you well?"

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 12:41 AM

“Oh, you know, can’t complain. Despite being Assistant Head Counselor I’m definitely seeing as many people as I did before. Maybe more than I did before.” *She cocks her head to the side and ponders it, doing some swift calculations in her head.* “It certainly feels like I live in my office most of the time. Like there’s a never-ending bubble of time in there that is just me seeing patient after patient until the end of eternity.” *Mevi shudders and laughs at the thought, carefully removing her trench coat and hanging it over the back of her seat. Her chest is still heaving slightly but the turtleneck sweater she chose obscures it slightly. Although she realized she might’ve done better than picking a maroon sweater. She felt a bit like a Christmas bauble.*

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 08-Dec-20 12:43 AM

"Nah, I'm sure things aren't really like that. Besides, how'd that work? I'm sure that it's gotta pop sometime." *The Cardassian said, leaning forward and placing her chin in both hands. Her golden eyes seemed to glitter with a little bit of mischievous light under the restaurant's lighting - or maybe it was just that.* "Drinks?"

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 12:45 AM

*Mevi shuddered slightly at the offer, still a little queasy from the indulgence of the night before, and she shook her head.* “I think I’ll get myself some milk tea. Might help settle my stomach.”

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 08-Dec-20 12:46 AM

"Iced or hot? Iced is quitr nice, really." *She'd already reached for the PADD at the table, placed an order for a bottle of apple cider for herself.*

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 12:49 AM

“Oh iced. With sugar. I know the Brits might squirm at that but they stole it from the Chinese anyway.” *Mevi places the order and allows herself to relax slightly, easing herself into the seat, and looking around. It was quite a sight. People packed into a room, eating together, drinking, sharing the same air. One might never suspect several deadly plagues and pandemics had swept this planet mere centuries before.* (edited)

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 08-Dec-20 12:51 AM

"Pssh. My mother loves it with sugar, too. Not like it ever affected her. Or me for that matter." *The order was then placed, and Ellou returned to her previous position, smirking mischievously at Mevi while scratching at the base of her neck. Not that she meant anything by it; Cardassian skin did get itchy sometimes...*

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 12:53 AM

*Mevi looks back at Ellou, and notices the neck scratching. Remembering what the Ensign said earlier about Cardassian necks, she files it under “hmmmm”.* “So you used to come here often as a child?” (edited)

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 08-Dec-20 12:54 AM

"Every timr we came to Earth. From wherever." *She smiled,* "I know the surrounding area well too."

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 12:55 AM

“I expect the food should live up to your praise. Were you already on Earth when I messaged you?”

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 08-Dec-20 01:01 AM

"I was back on the ship from Cardassia Prime. Why?" *She smiled and nodded tp the waiter who'd arrived and handed them each their food and drinks for the night.* "Visited my mothers and all."

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 01:04 AM

“Oh, how was that? Long journey?” *Mevi starts in on her tea, drinking it in long sips through the straw.*

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 08-Dec-20 01:05 AM

"Several hours. Long journey, but excellent and hot company. My partner makes things so much more amazing just be being there."

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 01:06 AM

“Oh, your partner? That’s nice for you two!” *Mevi sighs internally, half a sigh of disappointment and of relief. But for some reason, she still has her hopes up.*

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 08-Dec-20 01:09 AM

"Yeah. She has the loveliest green eyes and a ridged nose. And she works for Intel. Mmm. Sexy." *She smirked coyly at her, tucking her dark reddish hair behind her shoulder.* "And she's warm. That's a reptillian thing, we'd rather be warm than cold..."

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 01:11 AM

“Wait, do you mean Lieutenant Zowe? I think I just went over her psych eval the other day. You move fast, considering she just joined. No judgement there though. This is a shame free zone.”

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 08-Dec-20 01:13 AM

"This isn't a counselling session, Mevi," *She teased,* "But it's been a month. Let's just say we've had time to bond. Now shs can't really keep her hands off me~"

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 01:14 AM

“No, it isn’t. But then again, you haven’t been to one yet that I can recall. Maybe this was all a clever ruse for me to get your psych eval completed.” *Mevi winks, allowing herself to flirt, and enjoying the feeling of easing herself back into it.*

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 08-Dec-20 01:17 AM

"Mmm... why don't you get on that while we eat? Food's getting cold." *Ella winked back and began portioning out the fried fish fillet for them both. If Mevi was goinf to play like this, she honestly had no issue with it...* (edited)

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 01:20 AM

*Mevi smiled back, and started to nosh on the food. As the Ensign had said, it was indeed very good. She couldn’t resist getting another dig in though.* “Oh dear, I’m sure you’d be able to warm it up though, use some of that Cardassian expertise.”

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 08-Dec-20 01:22 AM

"You'd be right." *She said,* "And I'm a diplomat. I have to be able to adapt. So I'm sure I will. In no time~"

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 01:24 AM

“Ah, yes. Diplomats. You and your clever words. I remember reading an old Earth novel where this one diplomat character was able to give the impression of being a fool while carefully promising nothing at all. You’re slippery types.” *Mevi contined to eat, watching to see how Ellou would react.*

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 08-Dec-20 01:27 AM

"Mmm... I prefer more.open diplomacy. Both sides need to understand each other to come to a compromise. No?" *She smiled back at her ans stuffed a fry in her mouth.*

Starwheat 08-Dec-20 01:29 AM

(I maintain that it's impossible to eat fried food sexually

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 01:29 AM

“That is, if both sides believe they want the same thing. Like a slice of Yorkshire pudding, maybe.” *Mevi spears it with a fork and dunks it into her gravy, eating it almost whole.*

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 08-Dec-20 01:30 AM

"Yes. Which reminds me..." *Grinning coyly, she reached over with a fork for a bit of Yorkshire pudding. The last one on the plate.*

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 01:31 AM

*Mevi puts her fork into the same pudding, smiling right back, ensuring the tines of her fork run between those of Ellou’s, holding her gaze with a twinkle in her eye.*

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 08-Dec-20 01:33 AM

*Ellou raised an eyebrow, pulling hers back and slowly earing the puddinf in half. One for each of them.*

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 01:36 AM

*Mevi smiles, and dunks the pudding into her gravy, and eats the entire thing in one bite, holding Ellou’s gaze the entire time. When it’s in her mouth, she smirks and quirks the corner of her lip at the Ensign.*

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 08-Dec-20 01:38 AM

*Ella stared at her for a moment, facr browning, cheeks puffed up - and began to laugh brightly, leaning back in her chair.* "Pssh. It's Yorkshire pudding. You can have it."

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 01:42 AM

“Thank you, I do like it when somebody concedes to me for once.” *Mevi, on a whim, decides to try something. She gets up, holding her fork, and goes to Ellou’s side of the table to spear the pudding. While there, she trips slightly, and puts her hand on Ellou’s shoulder to steady herself, and watches to see what the Ensign does.*

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 08-Dec-20 01:43 AM

*Ellou raised an eyebrow. Was she just trying to get her riled up...? The Cardassian merely turned a darker shade of brown and giggled, bjt made no further reaction. For now.*

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 01:44 AM

*Watching the Cardassian go brown, Mevi smiles to herself and squeezes the shoulder, as she sits down next to Ellou and begins to pick food off of her plate.*

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 08-Dec-20 01:46 AM

"Hey!" *How'd she manage to squeeze across a flipping table and slide in nexf to her? She had no idea. But if she was going to play this game, fine. So would she. She leaned into her, snatchinf pieces of food away.*

Ensign Nelyv Etrei "Hey!" *How'd she manage to squeeze across a flipping table and slide in nexf to her? She had no idea. But if she was going to play this game, fine. So would she. She leaned into her, snatchinf pieces of food away.*

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 01:48 AM

*Mevi playfully begins to fight Ellou’s fork, turning it into a mini-trident match on her plate.* “I understand Cardassians find conflict to be very… titillating. Is that right, Ensign?”

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 08-Dec-20 01:50 AM

"Sometimes, yes. Especially if one party's looking at the other as more than just a friend." *She answered wjth a coy grin.* "Why?"

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 01:52 AM

“No reason. I thought I remembered it from somewhere. Although, I have to say I might’ve been able to find us a much better place to eat, if I’d been awake.” *Mevi clamps her hand down on Ellou’s wrist, watching carefully to gauge her response.*

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 08-Dec-20 01:53 AM

"You have very nice, warm hands." *She commented, enjoying the little trident fight...* (edited)

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 01:56 AM

“Warm enough for you?” *Mevi attempts to pin Ellou’s fork down with hers, while simultaneously moving her hand back up to Ellou’s neck, and giving it a bit of a squeeze.*

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 08-Dec-20 01:58 AM

"Yes, warm enou-" *Ella's cheeks puffed up, and she barely manahed a little squeak of pleasure when her neck was squeezed.*

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 02:00 AM

*Mevi continues to run her fingers over the scales on Ellou’s neck, as she knocks the fork off of Ellou’s plate and begins to eat her food.* “Hmm. It does taste good when it’s been fought over. No wonder the British had to colonize most of this planet.”

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 08-Dec-20 02:03 AM

"H-hey! Give me my- my-" *Ella shuddered at her touch. With any luck she'd probably turn into a trembling mess of scales - trembling from 'good feels' anyway.* "My- my-"

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 02:12 AM

*Mevi smirks, and continues to stroke the scales on Ellou’s neck, while placing her fork in front of her.* “Feel free to take it from me, Ensign.” *She grins wickedly.*

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 08-Dec-20 02:13 AM

*Oh, come on. All she needed was to stretch out her hand and grab it. So she did, somehow managing to stuff a fry into her mouth.* "The heck are you after, Mevi!?" *She demanded playfully.* (edited)

Ensign Nelyv Etrei *Oh, come on. All she needed was to stretch out her hand and grab it. So she did, somehow managing to stuff a fry into her mouth.* "The heck are you after, Mevi!?" *She demanded playfully.* (edited)

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 02:15 AM

*Mevi smiles, and begins to exert more pressure and speed on Ellou’s neck, as she eats Ellou’s food right in front of her, smiling like a Cheshire Cat all the while.* “I haven’t the faintest idea. What do you think, Ellou?”

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 08-Dec-20 02:17 AM

*Ellou could only squeak incoherently in response for a short while before pulling together enough composure to form words.* "Y'know. Why don'r we pack the food up to the ship? Ar least we won't be seen that way...~"

Ensign Nelyv Etrei *Ellou could only squeak incoherently in response for a short while before pulling together enough composure to form words.* "Y'know. Why don'r we pack the food up to the ship? Ar least we won't be seen that way...~"

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 02:19 AM

“Why? We’re having a nice lunch. I could sit here all day and enjoy myself.” *Mevi continues to move her hand faster on Ellou’s neck and shoulders, as she finishes the food in front of them, smiling all the while.*

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 08-Dec-20 02:21 AM

"And I could sit herr while I get the world's best massages- but you know the patrons are staring. Right?"

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 02:22 AM

“I don’t think so. They’re all watching the football. England vs Germany. I think that’s a far more important thing than us having lunch here.”

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 08-Dec-20 02:24 AM

"You mean dinner? And please, Mevi- can you *please* do this while we're not in public?" *She begged.*

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 02:25 AM

“Is that an invitation?” *Mevi lessens up on the pressure on Ellou’s neck, but continues to run her fingers gently over the ridges and scales.*

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 08-Dec-20 02:29 AM

"Yes." *She took a deep breath and reached out, spearinf some more food. She too was hungrh after all.* "I talkrd to Zowe about it."

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 02:30 AM

“Did you now? And here I was thinking you’d want her to fight me or some such.” *Mevi continues to steal food off of Ellou’s plate, but in a gentler fashion. Far less combative.*

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 08-Dec-20 02:33 AM

"No, she was quite agreeable." *She replied,* "I don't want people to fight. Not intentionally..."

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 02:35 AM

“Fascinating. But then, you’re not culturally fully Cardassian either so I’ll have to keep that in mind.”

Ensign Nelyv Etrei 08-Dec-20 10:55 AM

"Well, my mother *was* Caitian... and also Cardassian. But not quire so Cardassian..." *Giggling, she shifted in place and jabbed Mevi in the side mischievously.* "Let that thought sink in for a moment. In the meantime... can I please have my dinner before anything else?"

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 11:45 AM

“Alright, I’ll allow it.” *Mevi gives the neck scales a slight tickle before closing her eyes and leaning on Ellou while she eats.* “You’re a very interesting individual, Ensign Chet.” (edited)

Kaijin 08-Dec-20 11:47 AM

[Ellou]*She smiled and returned to dinner with a tiny smile, spearing up the last of the breaded fried fish.* "Yes. I am. I don't deny that at all..."

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 11:48 AM

“So, what would you like to do after dinner? Get some coffee?”

Kaijin 08-Dec-20 11:48 AM

[Ellou]"Get some coffee, maybe hang out in someone's quarters shipside and see where the night takes us...?" *She offered.*

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 11:50 AM

“Well then, it sounds like a plan. I like how you think.” *In the back of her mind, Mevi knows she’s moving really fast, but then again, the sting of the beach doesn’t quite bite so hard while she flirts with Ellou, so she continues to lean into that instead.*

Kaijin 08-Dec-20 11:52 AM

[Ellou]"For now, let's just forget about... well, our troubles. Just for the night. Let's just be us. How's that sound?" *She leaned into her as well, enjoying her warmth.* "A Cardassian and Orion enjoying dinner. One of which happens to be quite... interested... in the other..."

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 11:57 AM

“Excuse me, but the last time I checked, you were the one who wanted to see me, Ensign. You need to get that brain looked at like I told you to.“ *Mevi leans back into Ellou, allowing herself to relax a little more, allowing herself to release her control.* “As for being myself, I’m very sure that I’ve been nothing but myself this entire time.”

Kaijin 08-Dec-20 11:59 AM

[Ellou]"You seem a bit less... conflicted. I hope that you feel better from last time." *She smiled,* "I'm glad to have made your mood better - even if it is only for tonight. As for my brain... go ahead! I don't mind. Pick it if you wish..." (edited)

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 12:09 PM

“I think I’d like to pick something other than your brain. But then, it is connected to your brain.” *Mevi leans her head on Ellou’s shoulder, carefully exerting a little bit more pressure on the scales.* “As for being conflicted, I haven’t the faintest idea of what you mean. I’m always fine!”

Kaijin 08-Dec-20 12:11 PM

[Ella]"You didn't seem so okay last time." *She told her gently, laying a hand over Mevi's.* "Eidetic memory. You seemed sadder. More... more... conflicted. You looked so wistful. You were talking about how your partner left and all..."

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 12:14 PM

“Well, that situation’s been resolved for me. So I’m doing fine! You don’t need to worry about me.” *Mevi leans her head on Ellou’s hand, and nuzzles it slightly. The reminders about Ezarah aren’t helping, but Mevi is determined to get over that. Especially after getting this far.*

Kaijin 08-Dec-20 12:17 PM

[Ella]*She took a deep breath and shifted in her seat, squeezing her hand. If she was going to insist that she was fine so be it - she was nt about to force her to talk. That wouldn't be good for her - or for Mevi herself.* "If you say so. What did you want to pick again...?"

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 12:19 PM

“Probably this.” *Relieved that Ellou is no longer pressing on those feelings, Mevi puts her other hand right back on Ellou’s shoulder and begins to exert pressure on those specific scales that seem to elicit the greatest response from the Cardassian.*

Kaijin 08-Dec-20 12:20 PM

[Ellou]*The Cardassian gasped and bit her lip, turning her head to look at Mevi.* "Oh. I see. Well... shall I get us drinks? We can finish up and head off after..."

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 12:22 PM

“Let’s skip the drinks, and get back to the ship. Mine or yours, miss?” *Mevi is continuing to stroke those scales as she watches the Cardassian respond, a very satisfied smile beginning to spread on her face.*

Kaijin 08-Dec-20 12:23 PM

[Ellou]"Ah... y-yours...?" *She squirmed in place again, turning a dark shade of brown..* "M-my roommate may or may not be in..."

Counselor Mevi Wyse 08-Dec-20 12:28 PM

“Sounds like a plan. Let’s get out of here, Ellou.” *Mevi stands, lets go of Ellou’s neck, and pulls on her trench coat in one fluid motion, smiling at the Cardassian with a “come hither” expression.*

Kaijin 08-Dec-20 12:28 PM

[Ellou]*She blushed dark brown, throwing on her coat and leading her out the door - where she asked for them both to be beamed int Mevi's quarters.*
