(This post is based on a double character RP)
"Has anyone told you, you have the most beautiful brown eyes?" Nemi turned around to find the tactical officer, Lt. Melvin Moon watching her.
"No and if they did I would have to consider them a rogue intent on picking up on brown eyed counselors." She lifted an eyebrow. Complimenting her on her eyes? It had to be one of the oldest lines in the book.
"I am by far no rogue but the prospect of getting to know you better seems appealing" He gave her a charming smile.
"Alright then Lt. "Roguish", what is it you already know about me that you would like to know more about?"
"Anything you'd like to share with me. I am not one to whisk a woman off to bed at first meeting, if that's your concern. I like to get to know them more before I do."
"So you admit the "knowing" is purely a formality and precursor to your real intent of 'bedding?" Nemi found herself easily slipping into the inquisitorial frame of mind, she'd found quite useful both in the JAG office and as counselor.
"Getting to know a woman better can be just as pleasurable as bedding them. Attraction and chemistry would also be a determining factor, I believe."
"So you find me chemically attractive and the process of getting to bed as pleasurable as being in it." She nodded. "I see. You're not unattractive yourself, but I'm not the type to get to know someone with the explicit intent of bedding them. That might happen and it might not. Would you still want to get to know me under those circumstances?"
Moon shook his head" You seem to misunderstand me, Nemi. I would like to get to know you as friends and if there is something that develops later, then if we choose, we can pursue the bedding part"
She noted the informal use of her first name, although they hardly knew one another. Nemi's time on the bridge since she'd come aboard had been limited and since the attack, most of her time had been spent below, assisting medical. "I suppose I might have misinterpreted however, your words indicate that this has been your experience at least once, since you saw fit to introduce the subject almost immediately and I may add that rarely have I asked someone if he or she would like to be my friend by telling them how beautiful their eyes are." She smiled. Her expression told him the ball was on his side on the court now.
He grinned in return "I suppose it is the Betazoid in me to want to complement an attractive woman. I did not mean that I wanted to know her and bed her right away. I know that is ultimately a possibilty but it's only one of many"
She shook her head then laughed. "You really ought to quit while you're one statement ahead and since you have all these "possibilites" mapped out, what do you have in mind for us next?"
He chuckled in return. "Perhaps you're right. May I suggest a drink and a meal in the lounge?"
"Very well. I'd like to see if you can keep your foot out of your mouth long enough to eat. I can meet you there in.." She checked the time. "45 minutes."

"I am certain that I can, counselor. If not, I am sure you will assist me in pulling my foot out." He chuckles, then nods as she quoted 45 minutes. Enough time to get himself cleaned up
45 minutes later, and a fresh uniform, he is entering the Tawara's lounge

"Punctual. That's a good start lieutenant." She smiled.
"So what are you in the mood for..to eat." She amended quickly. "My treat." She stepped up to the counter and scanned the menu. "I slept well for the first time in days thanks to Terrasect, but I haven't yet fully recovered from the energy drain and from working several consecutive shifts with only a catnap or two.
A light pasta salad sounds good. And baklava", she ordered, then passed the padd to Moon.

He smiled back as he heard the counselor praise his being on time "Of course, Counselor. Being in starfleet, it is mandatory to be on time."
He walked with her to the counter, hearing her ask what he was in the mood for.. to eat, she added rather quickly. He looked at her for a moment before commenting "That's rather nice of you to treat me. I'm in the mood for something other then Betazoid cuisine. Any suggestions?" He listened as she ordered what she wanted "It's good to get a good rest after such a tough and exhausting mission such as what we went through. I've still feeling a bit exhausted, although I have not been to bed yet." He said as she passed the menu to him to look at

" What types of foods do you usually enjoy? It's difficult to make a recommendation when I don't know yet what you like. I've heard that General Weslynes' mate Darius is an accomplished chef. I remember seeing a recipe for a mandarin orange salad that sounded delicious," She paused "And if I keep this up you'll have a wealth of knowledge and an empty stomach." She laughed.

"I like most anything" he commented as he perused the menu, hearing her question of what foods does he normally enjoy "Most foods taste better when shared with paired company" He commented further as she told him that the General's bond-made is an established chef, his stomach growling as she mentioned the mandarin orange salad. He glanced up at her as she laughed "Knowledge is good food for the mind, but it does nothing for the physical aspect of the body." He said as he laughed himself

"From the sound of it, you could use something substantial." She grinned at the rumble. "Try one of the prix fixe meals. They're well balanced nutritionally and energetically. Eat something too large or heavy right now and you'll be spending the rest of the trip trying to stay awake." She took her customary tea when it was served and took a sip, sighing. When the baklava came, she picked up a forkful of the crispy dough, dripping with honey and studded with pistachios. She rolled her eyes exaggeratedly in bliss. "One of my few caloric vices."

He was sitting in the lounge, Eating rabbit stew and drinking RC cola.
His mind was on what just happened to the crew, and those who haven't woke up yet, he swiped his finger over the PADD changing the page I wish I could have convinced her to stay he says to him self about Lt Greyhouse
Taking a bite of his food, he works on his reports to send in on the cloud, he notices no one in the lounge as he barely looks up from his PADD to even eat

He glanced up at the counselor "I'd like something substantial but also that tastes good as well" He said with a grin and his attention went back to the menu padd. His Beta senses tingled and told him that Colonel Hall had entered the lounge. He seemed to be in a relaxed mood and hungry and wasn't here on duty detail. Good, he thought. "I'll try something fro Earth." He would then send his order in: Spahgetti and meatballs, with some garlic bread, light on the garlic and heavy on butter, with a tea from Betazed. He then glanced over to her meal "Maybe high in calories but it looks good. Me, I don't worry about Calories. I seem to burn enough with all these long shifts and the situations we get into."

Nemi plucked a kalamata olive from her salad and nibbled at it. "Let's get a nice comfortable table." She slid into a booth with padded cushions. "Ahh, much better. "Did you happen to hear how long it will be before we arrive for repair? Colonel Hall doesn't seem to be the type who makes many announcements. All I know is that we have a little free time now, but I have no idea how long it is supposed to last."
"You know what we could use a little of around here?" She grinned mischievously and plucked a meatball from Melvin's plate. " A little stress reduction exercise." She aimed the meatball at the back of Colonel Halls' head and raised a questioning eyebrow to Moon. "What do you think?"

Just as he got his order, he heard Nemi suggest that they get a table where they can sit comfortably. He agreed and followed over to sa table with cushioned seats "Yes, this is much better then sitting on a stool." Although sitting period would be preferred to standing. He does enough of that on duty. He took a meatball and popped it into his mouth, listening to her question of whether he heard anything from Hall about how long it would be for the arrival, disembarking and repair time. He took his head as he ate what was in his mouth "No, I haven't heard anything from.." He paused as he saw the devilish grin on Nemi's face "What are you.. hey!" The last bit a surprised reaction from him as she plucked a meatball from his plate and ained it for the back of Colonel Hall's head. "I believe we have differing opinions on how to reduce stress, Counselor." Hoping Hall won't notice were the stray meatball came from "I am sure you know Hall will blame me if and when he figures out where it came from." To his surprise, he would smile at that

She tested the fork for springiness, then shot high, aiming for the colonel's head but hitting his shoulder, before it bounced onto the table in front of him.
"Looks like I need some refresher time on the range." She grinned, winked, then put on her most innocent expression.

He watched as she fired the snatched meatball toward Colonel Hall, plunking him on the shoulder, instead of her intended target, which was his head. He didn't bother turning around as he knew Hall would notice "My dear counselor, I didn't get the meal so you could play sling shot and use Colonel Hall as a target." He said, trying to hide a chuckle.. and failing. He took another meatball to eat before she could grab another one

"You suggest another?" This time she plucked a cherry tomato from her own plate and playfully aimed it at him and then at the few other crew members in the area. Both she and Moon were seated facing one another. The counselor's back provided cover in a straight line from the front to the back on the room, although those to either side could see her antics clearly.
