[ T’Laara - Library -> Turbolift] While Ivyra did not act committed to the idea, she agreed to go. Though it was not without another attempt at a teasing remark thrown in. “Labeling things is a basic function of language, because doing so is useful,” T’Laara replied simply to the question of her own word choice. With no reason to remain in their current setting any longer, she wasted no more time in leading the way out the door. As they waited for the turbolift, she turned to her new acquaintance once more. “Have you visited any of the restaurants on the Promenade yet?” She already had a destination in mind, but it seemed appropriate to keep the conversation going.

[NPC - Ivyra - Library --> Turbolift, Front Ear Station ] Not that one could ever really tell with a Vulcan, but Ivyra took the Vulcan's reply to her phrase about labeling things as somewhat cooler than before. Perhaps it was just Vulcan emotional awkwardness. Ivyra wasn't ready to give up on T'Laara just yet. She moved along with the Vulcan as she took her leave from the library. "Perhaps," the Orion responded simply. "But sometimes... words just get in the way of things." It was a cryptic statement, but that didn't make it any less true. As they made it to the turbolift and waited for the car to arrive, she was asked if she had visited any of the restaurants. Ivyra entertained the question silently as she considered her response. "One of many pleasures I've yet to have here," she replied. She only managed to close the distance between them with a single step as the lift-car arrived and its doors parted before them. "After you."

[ T’Laara - Turbolift] At Ivyra’s gesture, T’Laara nodded and entered the turbolift first. After directing it toward Deck 8, she considered the Orion’s response during the short ride. She said that words get in the way of things… but T’Laara did not entirely cease her efforts get her to talk more. The vaguely negative answer was unexpected, since the Promenade was one of the first places many visitors went. She raised an eyebrow again. “So when exactly did you arrive?” Kova Sh'qaleq

[NPC - Ivyra - Library --> Turbolift, Front Ear Station ] It seemed T'Laara was still in the mood to search for answers. The question she asked was a simple one, but one that potentially revealed more than Ivyra cared to reveal in that moment. "Not that long ago," she responded vaguely. Would those words be enough to satisfy her Vulcan curiosity? Ivyra somehow doubted it. "Most of the crew came aboard, but I initially stayed behind to handle paper work." Ivyra's eyes narrowed slightly as she looked in T'Laara's direction. "Are you always this inquisitive, or just with the people you're trying to seduce?"

[ T’Laara - Promenade] Ivyra’s answer did not include any measurement of time, but made it sound like her arrival to the station was very recent. Maybe she was still reluctant to share information about herself, as she asked if T’Laara was always so inquisitive. And yet, the typical function of a date was to learn more about someone before, or at least while, ‘seducing them’. Which Ivyra had agreed to. “Maybe, but I did invite you along for the purpose of getting to know one another.” The mention of handling paperwork might explain their meeting place slightly better, but brought to mind another question. “What is your job on your ship?” The lift doors parted to reveal the Promenade, and she stepped out, surveying their options. The Blue Beta was one of the most popular places on the station, and one she had been to often enough before. It was also a suitable place to take a date, though logically, anywhere that served things they could both eat would be sufficient. When they reached the doors, T’Laara stopped and repeated the Orion’s earlier words. “After you.” Kova Sh'qaleq

[NPC - Ivyra - Promenade, Front Ear Station ] Inquisitive as ever, though it was likely Vulcan nature. Perhaps Ivyra should be satisfied that she wasn't reading a book or nose deep in some research article. She supposed she'd have to relent some information so to quell any suspicions that my be scratching the Vulcan's brain. "I suppose the most suitable title would be: quartermaster," Ivyra said. "I see to the needs of the ship and the crew. And somehow, the bulk of the paperwork falls into my lap as well." That should be more than enough to satisfy the Vulcan's curiosity. It wasn't a lie, but it may not have been the entire truth. As they reached their destination, Ivyra had certainly recognized it. The Blue Beta was one of the largest establishments on the promenade, extending beyond more than a single floor. She stepped inside as T'Laara offered her to enter first. Her eyes scanned the area as she sought out a table. It wasn't overly crowded, but busy enough. "Do you have a seating preference? There's a booth available over there." There was other seating available, but the booth would provide some privacy and limit distractions. Giving Ivyra a better look at T'Laara's eyes.

[ T’Laara - Blue Beta] Listening to Ivyra’s brief explanation of her job, T’Laara gave a short nod. “I see.” Finding no fault in it, she did not immediately ask anything else. Instead she paused briefly, giving her companion a chance to elaborate however she saw fit, or to direct the path of the conversation elsewhere. As was only fair. They entered the familiar restaurant, and Ivyra pointed out an unoccupied booth. “That is acceptable, yes.” T’Laara had no objection to the chosen seat, and wove her way through the other tables before gracefully getting situated.

[NPC - Ivyra - Promenade, Front Ear Station ] As T'Laara settled into her seat, the Orion did the same. She doubted that the Vulcan's inquisition was over, but perhaps that was a good thing. Ivyra took a deep breath, the smile settling comfortably upon her face. "So, is there a particular reason you chose this place? In my experience, human food is unnaturally... greasy." Of course, Ivyra's exposure to Terran cuisine was rather limited. It wasn't as if she had experienced what many would consider nice restaurants. Those that had set up shop in her reason had cheap prices, and food that was appetizing going in, but dreadful on one's digestive tract. Nearly everything could be eaten without cutlery... except fried rice. At least that was her supposition. It was a Federation station, and humans tended to be the prominent entrepreneurs. Sure, they'd sprinkle in others for a splash of culture, such as the Bajoran fellow that sold Hasperat not too far from here. Still, it was enough to possibly carry on some conversation that didn't include further chapters from her own autobiography.
