[Capt. Judith Eastman(-Williams), PhD & Max Williams - Commanding Officer's Quarters]It seemed that the older couple had fed a good conversation, and they were quite satisfied about that. They leaned back for a moment. "That's healthy too," Judy responded to Thea's statement, "Just keep us in mind if you need godparents," Max added to lighten the mood again. "Although, in my culture, the godparent is the one that holds the kid up during the..."She mimed a circumcision with her fingers, complete with a, "snip snip" sound effect. "Not that we'd expect the same for your kids," Max quickly added.

[CO's Quarters, Front Ear Station ] "That we have," Isaiah said in response to Thea's statement. The focus of their relationship had been to get to know one another, and for the most part, Isaiah was confident that they had succeeded in that. He continued to listen and agreed that it was certainly time that they spoke about what came next for them. There was certainly quite a bit to discuss. The scientist did smile and nod in response to the Williams' request to keep them in mind as godparents, despite any difference in the cultural roles. "I've no doubt that you two are near to the top of a very short list."

[CO's Quarters - Front Ear] Thea smiled at Isaiah's response to what she had said, knowing that every word had been truthful and sincere. Now they could focus on that next step and have a more private discussion whether it was tonight, tomorrow or soon. Then they would know and decide when the right time was for them to embark on that particular journey. Acknowledging Judy's comment with another smile as Max lightened the mood, before Judy mimicked a circumcision, which made her wince slightly. " Yeah that won't happen but yes I agree with Isaiah, in terms of godparents".

[Capt. Judith Eastman(-Williams), PhD & Max Williams - Commanding Officer's Quarters]Judy could tell that there wasn't much appetite in the room for jokes on that particular topic, so she moved on. "No pressure."In the meantime, the game had progressed, disappointingly at that. "Looks like another day in the Garden."Max shamelessly took a swig of Judy's beer.

[CO's Quarters, Front Ear Station ] Isaiah sighed as his attention eventually found its way back to the game. Perhaps it was a good thing that conversation had been as engaging as it had, because the game certainly hadn't been at least for the Knicks. Isaiah sighed and shook his head. Another day in the Garden indeed. The scientist shrugged. He didn't believe the next words that would come out his mouth for a second, but as a Knicks fan, knew they had to be uttered with conviction. "It's only one half. There's still another to go," he said as he took a sip of his beer. The only comfort he found in those words was that Judy would likely understand the sentiment.

[CO's Quarters - Front Ear] With Judy moving the conversation and everyone's attention back to the game. It appeared that they hadn't missed much and yet was glad that her and Isaiah had spoken about something that was important to both of them, thanks to Judy and Max's advice. Although in her defence, she still didn't fully understand basketball, but was determined to see it through and learn. Listening to the comments made, Thea was optimistic about the second half of the game. " That's true and hopefully it'll get better".

[Capt. Judith Eastman(-Williams), PhD & Max Williams - Commanding Officer's Quarters]"We just have to have faith," Max concluded wryly. Such was the faith they had to have, futile or not. Judy nodded. "I will say, they've gotten better," she noted. "Not better enough, but... better."Max chuckled, amused by that sentiment, and gently pulled Judy a little closer. "You know, we've never had an argument, and for the sake of that streak only, I'll agree with Judy.""Good call."

[CO's Quarters, Front Ear Station ] Isaiah could see that his reminder about there still being an entire half left to play was met with the fanfare that it deserved. "Right, faith," he said agreeing with Max. "... and entirely new defensive playbook." If they stood any chance of getting better, as Thea had voiced, there would have to be some fundamental changes... and a major assist from a higher power as far as the scientist was concerned. He took a sip of his beer, smiling at the notion that Max and Judy had never had an argument. That was truly impressive when you thought of how much time they'd been together. Isaiah was confident that he and Thea had a good track record thus far as well. They were like-minded on a lot of things, but respected one another and their different opinions on a few things. There certainly weren't any fundamental issues on which they disagreed that Isaiah could think of.

[CO's Quarters - Front Ear] Having faith in a better second half was perhaps optimistic, but Thea knew that a win would leave Isaiah in a much better mood than a loss would. So of course if there was a small miracle then she was all for it. " Either way, we're going to need another beer" Thea quipped as she finished her first one. At the mention of the older couple never having an argument, Thea look towards Isaiah. In the months and almost year that they had been together, they had never really had a big argument. That was down to respect and communication and if it did ever happen, then she was confident that they could resolve it quickly.

[Capt. Judith Eastman(-Williams), PhD & Max Williams - Commanding Officer's Quarters]"More than just the one beer," Max replied, letting the matter of arguments (or a lack thereof) go. "Well, if you want to switch to whiskey, I'll switch as well.""Thank you, honey. Any other takers for scotch?" Max asked. Judy stood up, straightened out her dress, and then headed into the kitchen to fetch some.

[CO's Quarters, Front Ear Station ] As Thea suggested that perhaps they'd need another beer, Isaiah began to smile. "I think she's starting to get the hang of this," he stated in regards to her being a part of the Knicks fandom. There were many brews that had soothed the sting of disappointment over the years. Max then made the suggestion that they may need more than a single beer. Before long, the offer of whiskey was on the table. Given how the game was going, it was likely an even more appropriate treatment for the woes that were forming. "Sure, I'll try one." It was a bold statement, but only because it was likely to be repeated several times during the remainder of the game.

[CO's Quarters - Front Ear] " I think I am too" Thea replied, grinning as Isaiah smiled and commented about how she becoming part of the fandom. She knew it wouldn't be instant and yet knew it would be something that she wasn't going to admit defeat over either. Besides it showed that she valued her Boyfriend's interests and wanted to genuinely get involved. When Max suggested that it would be more than another beer, Thea understood why more would be needed as the others decided to switch to scotch and asked if there was any other takers. " I'll stick with beer" she said after Isaiah said that he would try one.

[Capt. Judith Eastman(-Williams), PhD & Max Williams - Commanding Officer's Quarters]In two rounds, Judy brought in three shot glasses and a bottle of syntheholic scotch, and began to pour shots out for the three of them. "I got these skills in college, unlike you two Starfleet Academy squares," she teased the youngsters, much as she had ribbed contemporary Academy students 40+ years ago during her undergraduate studies. "Actually, what is the party scene at the Academy like in the modern era?" Max asked. "Judy has all her stories from the 30s, but that's an eternity ago."She chuckled, taking the age joke in stride.

[CO's Quarters, Front Ear Station ] Isaiah couldn't help but smile at what sounded like a clear challenge from his Captain at the mention of 'Academy Squares.' "With all due respect, Captain... that almost sounded like a challenge." Isaiah said. He took a deep breath as he thought about Max's question. "I think it clearly improved sense then. I seem to remember some friends of mine having to put some college kids out of Stanford or Berkeley over a bottle of tequila." Isaiah's head bobbed as he seemed to be trying to recall the memory. "... or under it. All I can say is that they could talk a good game."

[CO's Quarters - Front Ear] Reaching for a second beer and another popper as Judy returned with the scotch. Thea was glad that she had waited to eat as she teased the two of them about being squares. She may look quiet and proper but Thea had never been a square. Although did find it amusing as Max then Isaiah spoke, taking the risk to eat some of the popper and had certainly learned something new about her boyfriend. " Interesting but I wasn't a square either contrary to belief... but I also enjoy a challenge" she teased back, before taking a swig of beer.
