[Capt. Judith Eastman(-Williams), PhD & Max Williams - Eastman-Williams Quarters]Max chuckled at the comment about the human palate. They had only scratched the surface on ice cream. As for disappearing desserts... "There's always seconds," Judy pointed out. "I'm told that's a Jewish way of showing affection," Max pointed out, light-hearted but not joking.

[ Uncle - Eastman-Williams Quarters, Front Ear Station ] The offer of seconds was certainly an appealing one. Uncle took a moment to weigh a second helping of the dessert in her mind. "Honestly, if I have another, you may have to have me transported back to my quarters," the Bajoran stated. While the affection was appreciated, she doubted there'd be a delicate way of explaining the need to transport her in such a manner. "Thank you, but I think I'd better pass. Though, I'm doing so under the protest of my own taste buds."

[Capt. Judith Eastman(-Williams), PhD & Max Williams - Eastman-Williams Quarters]"Well, that's your loss," Judy said with an evident undertone of disappointment, as she served herself with seconds. "Next time, you can make something for us," Max suggested, changing the subject entirely. The evening was coming to a close, which meant the time had come to start contemplating a next time, after all. Judy, in the middle of her second helping, nodded in agreement.

[ Uncle - Eastman-Williams Quarters, Front Ear Station ] It most certainly was her loss, and one that she would likely regret. Max suggested that next time she could make something for them. It may have been more of a challenge in Uncle's eyes, but she certainly didn't want them to be disappointed by whatever she would prepare for them. "Sure, I'd love to," Uncle stated with a smile. "I think I modify a few Bajoran dishes to satisfy your diet. We can certainly compare notes before then to be certain."

[Capt. Judith Eastman(-Williams), PhD & Max Williams - Eastman-Williams Quarters]"We'll work that out, for sure," Judy agreed. With the evening clearly winding down, the couple began to clear the dessert from the table. "Plenty of leftovers. We might just have to invite the grandchildren tomorrow," Max observed. "It was easier when we had teenage boys running around the house. We'd go to sleep with half a cake in the fridge, and wake up with no cake left."

[ Uncle - Eastman-Williams Quarters, Front Ear Station ] Uncle nodded, silently agreeing with Judy that those were details that they would get worked out. Uncle still felt odd as the couple cleared the table. In their absence, she made an effort to assemble the remaining items so that they could be collected easily enough upon their returns. The mention of their grandchildren coming over to leftovers tomorrow, as well as the memory of teenagers ridding them of leftovers past rang with an air of familiarity. "The one true mystery simply being how quickly it was consumed," she mused distantly as she began to stand. Taking a deep breath, Uncle smiled in the couple's direction. "Well, I thoroughly enjoyed myself," she said with gratitude. "Thank you both for inviting me into your home."

"Thank you for coming," Max replied with a smile. "See you next time."
"Bye!" Judy added genially.
At the end of the night, the couple would go to bed rather stuffed full of their own cooking, but satisfied.
