Posted on 24 May 2019 @ 8:38am by Lieutenant Harry Stevens & Lady Sif & Lieutenant Commander T'Lara

Mission: Hahai i na pilikua nui - Hunting Monsters
Location: Corridor- USS Hawaii
Timeline: before the party

As Harry walked along the corridor with Lady Sif who had been groomed with her fur coat glistening in the corridor light as she padded along beside him, Harry had this Idea to escort T'Lara to the party as a Gentleman would in the early 20th Century would, as he approached T'Lara's quarters he said, "Now be nice Sif, I'm only taking her on a date," as he came to a halt and pressed the door chime and waited.

T'Lara opened the door of her quarters. She had put on a cocktail dress as she had just done her hair and matching earrings. "Lieutenant Stevens. It is agreeable to see you. Would you like to come in?" She asked as she walked in and started putting on her ballerina flats.

Harry looked back at T'Lara and said "Wow, you look stunning," as he wore a Hawaiian shirt with Palm trees on with Grey shorts with Brown soft shoes, as they both followed T'Lara inside her quarters. Harry looked around the room and said "This is Nice,"

T'Lara followed his look. "I suppose it is." She said. "At this party will we be dancing and or will you be drinking any alcoholic beverages? I would like to know before hand so I will know what to expect."

"Of course we will be dancing and I will be on soft drinks T'Lara," replied Harry as he looked at her, "you do know that the gossip will go like warp 10 on this ship about us don't you?" He continued as he knew how it had gone about him and Cortez sharing a quarters with him.

T'Lara walked to the entrance of her quarters. "Harry," she began, "We're going to a party, people will be dancing together, I do not think they have time to gossip about us at the party. I think your equation will have more merit if we were to show up together on the bridge." She thought a moment before adding, "Holding hands."

"Now that would be funny," replied Harry as he gave a slight chuckle, he continued," and Not everyone will be dancing, "He continued looking at her as Sif walked over to him and sat down next to him, "and as for Holding hands I'm cool with it," as Sif pawed him as if to say can we go. He finished, "Shall we go?"

T'Lara held out her hand. "We shall." She said nodding as she waiting for him to take her hand.

As Harry took her hand, he said," You do know this will announce to the other ladies on this ship that I am now spoken for," as they Left T'Lara's quarters, he continued "and the same will be for you as well," as they continued on towards the party, He finished, If you are Ok with me dating you?"

To Vulcans the touching of hands, mostly the fingers is the most intimate sign of affection in public, I am fully aware," T'Lara replied. She turned to face him. I think you human's have an even more intimate sign of affection." She leaned forward and pressed her lips on his. She let him go and left him staring as she continued saying, "Shall we go now?"

"Wow," replied Harry as he stood looking startled at the T'Lara as she released him from the embrace, as he walked up beside her again taking her hand in his once more, he asked her," so I have a question," as they started to walk once more. He continued," So my question is this, does this mean we are now betrothed," as he hadn't taken Vulcan culture at the academy.

"I do not think I can force that on you. Besides I think human culture works different in this matter. But if you wish to bond yourself to me. I would not object," She sounded cold, but she was hoping he would bite. It wasn't every day a man would give himself so willingly to her. Her wanting a partner was purely out of necessity and self preservation right now.

Harry looked back at her for a moment and then said, "you are the most lovely sight in this universe and I don't want to lose you," as Sif nuzzled her head against Harry's Side, as he looked down at Sif, "I know you feel like I'm ignoring you Sif," he continued, "But I'm not," as he looked back at T'Lara and finished," That's if you don't mind Lady Sif?"

T'Lara looked down to Lady Sif. She then crouched down to face the dog. She held out her hand for the dog to smell her scent. "Lady Sif, if you permit me to be with your master, I will also take care of you as your master would." She felt a bit strange talking like that to the dog, but it was the custom. And far would it be for her to go against customs. She waited for the dog's respond.

Sif Sat down in front of her and moved her head to the side as she listened to the humanoid speaking to her, as she watched the lady hold her hand out so that she could sniff her hand as she knew that the humanoid wanted to be friends and was asking for her permission to live with her master. Sif gave a bark of approval as she offered her Paw to the female who was knelt in front of her.

Harry responded, " I think that's a yes in my book," as he knelt beside T'Lara and gave Sif a Scratch behind the ears, as he continued, " Now try this," as he moved T'lara's hand to between Sif's ears, he finished," Now gently scratch just there," as Sif hung her tongue out and started to smile.

T'Lara looked to Sif. "She seems to enjoy that," She simply stated. She looked to Harry and then back to Sif as she continued scratching behind her ears. "Thank you," She said to Sif. "I will keep my promise to you." She looked to Harry. "And to you."

"I know you will T'Lara and so does Sif," replied Harry as he looked at her, he continued " we are missing the party love," as he stood up again and held out his hand once more to her.
