[deltakovar]

Delta's eyes shifted almost lazily over as a voice came to her ears. To her surprise the owner of the voice was a Cardassian, who had some pretty nasty bruises on his face. She couldn't help but wince slightly at the sight of them. He introduced himself and she nodded slightly, moving to face him and rest her arms on the table top.

"I'm Delta Kovar...chief of security USS Frontier."

She had almost said Fox, but she wouldn't, not yet, until she knew what was going to happen between her and Keith.

"May I?" Jacob asked, raising in brow and indicating the chair across from her. Delta realized she had just left him standing.

"Oh...ooh...of course....sorry....I've....had a bad couple of days...forgive my manners...or lack of. Please do sit."

Seeing another Cardassian did ignite a spark of interest in her and she found she did want to talk to him at least for a while.

[JacobWestmore]

::He looks at her quizzically:: You are with Child? When is the joyous occasion of the birth of your child going to be. I would like to personally pass on my blessing to you and your husband. Perhaps you would allow me to grace you with a gift? ::The cardassian looks rather befuddled at not having noticed her condition before and takes a seat smiling.:: How are you finding your time with the Federation?

[deltakovar]

Delta looked away as Jacob seemed to notice her condition for the first time. When he said husband she about burst into tears, but managed to stay in control of her emotions. Now was not the time or place. She was surprised at how happy Jacob seemed at his eagerness to bestow blessings and gifts. She looked back at him as he asked about the Federation.

"I...I don't know exactly when the baby will be born...but it will be soon...and....I suppose you can give a gift...if you really wanted to..." she said slowly.

She took a breath, then rested her chin in her hands again.

"As far as the Federation...it has been interesting. Rewarding, but infuriating at times....and you?" She asked curiously

[JacobWestmore]

Now Now my dear lady... his smile fades. I didn't mean to upset you.

I am sorry if I asked too many personal questions.

::he resisted the temptation to inquire further.and left it at that::

::he reclined back in his chair::

The federation has treated me very well I am happy in my new home.

You will have to forgive me for staring but you remind me of someone I once knew and loved....

::He exhales loudly::

But... that is all water under the bridge. So you are Chief of Security? ::he raises an eyebrow:: I do hope your team takes care of you, I wouldn't want anything to happen to you. You know it would get very lonely here if I was to be the only Cardassian.

::he changes the subject seeming slightly embarrased::

Do you miss Cardassia? You know I have quite an extensive library of Art and music that I brought with me. You know Cardassians are the leaders in art and culture. He seemed slightly arrogant for the first time as Cardassians sometimes exhibit.

[deltakovar]

Delta smiled slightly at Jacob.

"It's...it's alright, you didn't do anything. I've been going through a rough spot...but getting it worked out now..." she half smiled.

When he spoke about her being Chief of Security Delta shrugged slightly.

"They're good people, no problems with any of them..."

When he spoke of Cardassia she looked away slightly.

"Actually I haven't spent alot of time on Cardassia....only a few years. See....I...grew up with humans mostly. I don't know alot about alot of Cardassian culture." she looked back at him

[JacobWestmore]

::he looks at her tenderly::

You look distressed, are you sure there isn't anything I can do for you? Perhaps something to eat? And I would really like to share some of the Music I brought from Cardassia with you if ever have any free time.

[deltakovar]

Delta looked at Jacob, suddenly feeling a bit unsure, but she still smiled slightly, to be nice.

"No, really I'm fine....just tired. Don't worry about me."

She shifted in her seat slightly.

"Maybe you could share some of your things from Cardassia with me though....it would be nice to have a bit more about who I am...I mean, as far as my people's history."

[JacobWestmore]

My Dear lady... It is my duty to worry about you. You have the future of Cardassia within you.

but If you say you are fine I will take you at your word.

::He studied her beautifull features::

You know there is something about a Woman with Child that is very beautifull I mean more then just outwardly.

:;He took a sip of his non-alacholic beverage, his hand shaking quite a bit::

You husband? where is he...

:;his face flushed a bit forgetting that she probably didn't want to discuss the issue with him::

[deltakovar]

Delta arched a brow at Jacob and his words.

"I'm Cardassian by birth only really." she said.

She ruffled a hand through her messy hair, looking hard at him at his comment about being with child.

"And here I thought I looked like absoulte hell." She tried to make it sound like a joke, but she was more serious then not.

Then he asked about her husband and Delta sat up straighter.

"Keith had some things to take care of...but he's around here someplace...." She looked at him again. "What about you...do you have a family?"

[JacobWestmore]

::He kept smiling oblivious to the state she says she appears to be in::

Yes I have a wife and two small children on Cardassia. My wife is a Bajorian national, and I adopted her two children. None of my own I am afraid.

However The Cardassians took my family hostage and cast me out calling me a traitor. I have no idea how they are. I believe in my heart they are still alive. For if the Cardassia government does anything to them I will not reliquinish my reasearch.


::He frowns:: But.. I'm afraid my research in the hands of the Cardassia military and I will be fortefiting more lives then just my family.

::He sits up extreamly straight and proud looking as if trying to hide his own emotional discomfort::

[deltakovar]

Delta looked shocked. "I'm sorry about your family."

She shook her head.

"My parents were killed for going against the Cardassian government. They went against something they thought was wrong, and were killed for it."

She started to sound as if she was getting angry, but slowly her voice got sad.

"That's why I'm not to eager to go back there....at least in the Federation we can pretend to be civalized...."

[JacobWestmore]

::slides a hand over hers and looks into her eyes He is filled with compassion::

You will find that where you go you are always there. It's not the place that in uncivilized it is the government and the military infulence. We need to open our minds and question Authority.

::he took another sip of his beverage, and reluctunatly removed his hand from hers::

I hope we become friends. I do not Blame Cardassia for their actions. You cannot judge a whole race on the actions of a few military groups.

Cardassia needs people like us to help change the attitude most people have of us.

::He touches his face where his bruises have almost healed::

Bajorians did this to me... but do I hate my wife and her two young kids? No. I forgive the people that did this to me, at times I look in the mirror and wonder how I can survive knowing the feelings of hatred people have towards us.

[deltakovar]

"I'd still rather be here..." Delta said, slowly putting her hands into her lap.

"I grew up around humans, that's what I understand."

She looked at his face. "I'd wondered what happened. Why people have to fight each other like that is just beyond me...it's so wrong..."

[JacobWestmore]

:;he studed her mood change:::

Some people have been fighting all their lives and find it difficult to change their way of life.

Years of struggle and hatred can't just easily be dismissed.

::he took another sip of his beverage::
