Veeri walked all over her temporary quarters on Starbase 220, checking everything... Food, check. The good wine she managed to whisk away... check.
Wait? Do Vulcans even like wine? Who knows? Then again, it's V'tira, she's a cool Vulcan, so she probably likes to drink... What did Veeri get herself into? Sure, V'Tira was nice, and smart, but could she really even help about somthing Veeri was not even allowed to speak of openly? Even so... it did feel kind of nice to finally share with someone, especially telepathically, so nobody could eavesdrop. Veeri did try to get over it herself, but even those nice couple of days on Earth didn't really seem to help... so she needed someone smart.
Veeri sighed, checking again, then looking over herself in the mirror. Should she have worn a dress? Nah, it was an unnoficial little meeting... T-shirt and shorts work just fine. After the trill approved of her own attire, she sat herself down on the couch, watching an old musical, while she waited for V'Tira to come on the time they had agreed upon.

V'tira moved through the corridors of the temporary housing to Starbase 220, working her way following the instructions she had been given and finding the assigned room number for her friend Veeri. She had enjoyed their talk and it was nice to catch up with someone from her old ship. She had chosen to change out of her uniform following the night's pre celebratory event in the Starbase lounge. The launch would be fascinating, this new class of ship was far to large for her preference but she understood the meaning behind such a class of ship. It wa just not her personal choice of duty station, she preferred the sleek economy of striking power and more intimate setting for the social circle of the crew that the Protector and ships like her provided. V'tira had chosen to wear a comfortable, loose fitting pink belly shirt 'tank top' and high cut denim 'blue jean' short-shorts. What she had once heard Dom call 'Daisy Dukes, she completed her look with white sneakers.
She rang the chime and patiently waited outside of Veeri's door to be admitted.

The door opened, Veeri waving her in.
"Hello, V'Tira! Please, come in, I got us some dinner, in case you were hungry!" The trill motioned to the table, little trill appetizers and a salad in plates on both sides of a large plate of trill pasta with its famous azure sauce, and a bottle of wine.

V'Tira entered as she was admitted and looked to the table, assessing the variety of food offered, she nodded as she was in point of fact hungry.
'Most kind of you Veeri. "It all looks most agreeable."
"Shall we?" She moved to the table and selected a trill vegetable appetizer she was familiar with.

"Thank you, I really tried hard!" Veeri beamed at the praise, then sat down, pouring the two wine.
"Euhrm... so... you wanted to talk more about... you know... my... clandestine affair thingy? And... uhrm... I am not sure where even to start... or what to say? So ask away?"

V'tira slipped into her own set and crossed her long legs, she gently accepted her offered wine glass.
"Perhaps as with all things it is preferable to start at the beginning..." She offered to her friend. "I am sure to have questions as you proceed..."
She took a soft sip of her wine as she waited for her friend to begin....

"Well..." Veeri thinks a bit, sighing.
"You remember last summer leave... all the things with Varel had left me... exhausted, I guess. Emotionally. Very much so. After she had said... something, I do not remember what already, I felt really terrible. I went to Destini's for a drink, and... the one I told you of, she was there. I guess she noticed something's wrong with me, she usually can tell stuff like that... and she dragged me aside, and started talking to me... then... flirting, I guess? Rubbing my hand, my spots, talking to me in a... very nice way. She eventually invited me over to where she was staying and... you know. It was really my first time with a woman."
The trill went silent some, seemingly remembering that day, with a small, nostalgic smile, but quickly washed down whatever emotion was rising up in her with a bit of wine, and looked to V'Tira, in case the vulcan had questions.

V'tira listened quietly to her friend, occasionally sipping her wine. She nodded once as Vee paused, noting her expression as she reminisced.
"Indeed, such a first time is an unique experience if only for the contrasts to a male pairing." She took another sip.
"Do go on..."

"Well... she made it clear it was a one-time thing, but... it was great... and ww soon did it again on the Citadel... and I have met her many times after, and she has been very kind to me, giving me attention, and help, and advice, and friendship, and gifts, but... I... don't know what to feel and think. She gave me some... suggestive gifts, but apart from that.. she has not really shown any interest in me in... that way again. I know she has been very busy, but... I guess I am disappointed." Veeri sighed.
"I had hoped to at least see her on Risa, but she was not even here this time... and... I don't know. Maybe I've grown boring to her. Or unattractive. It.. sucks. I know she doesn't love me, but I was happy being a... toy. I guess I cannot really expect love of that kind, from anyone, but it felt nice to be... desired, I guess. Protected. Safe. And now it feels like I am not good enough for that too." Veeri looked to V'Tira, wincing a bit, as if unhappy with her own words, or perhaps expecting criticism.

V'tira quirked a brow and sat back some, re-crossing her legs. She took another sip of her wine and shook her head. "This is not what one would call a very responsible casual physical affair Veeri."
"You have indicated she make it /clear/ in the beginning it was a one time thing..." She said bluntly. "Yet she continued to consent for future encounters...yet let me extrapolate...she maintained the casual air each time...or did each encounter grow more intimate? The latter seems more indicative...with more emotional affection and physical gifts being bestowed upon you." The young vulcan shook her head softly. "Veeri that is showing signs of interests...which if this is to be a casual physical encounter only...this is irresponsible behavior..."
"Even if this is unintentional, you are being what is called 'led on', hence you should feel disappointed with such mixed signals"
"Are you so sure this was not meant to evolve into a 'friends with benefits' relationship? It might explain a great many things here, and perhaps it is merely an error in communications." She shrugged. "I maintained several such friendships during my days at the Academy...and found the situation to be most agreeable and efficient."
V'Tira nodded once as she listened further. "Is it not possible this person has ceased living? or transfered? Or perhaps was ill during our leave on Risa?"
"Did you not look into where she had gotten off to?"
"Yes, there is a degree of ... palatability in being such a toy.' She nodded and took another sip of her wine. "However base don ypur statements that is not going to be satisfying for you any longer. You have indicated even when you were engaged in your pursuit of Varel, that you sought something more emotionally fulfilling..."
She reached out to curl her fingers just under her friend's chin to find her gaze "Of course you are worthy of such a thing, it is illogical based on your personality that anything about you would be a disqualifying factor."
"It is most improbable Veeri, you will find the emotional level of love that you seek."

"I... I know she's okey, and was just busy working during leave." Veeri closed her eyes, clearly enjoying the small physical contact, rubbing her chin into the vulcan's touch.
"And she has never elaborated on what exactly we are doing after that first time? I think I was just a novelty that wore off quickly... and thank you for the kind words, V'Tira... I so wish you are right."

V'Tira left her fingers in place, as good as any hug she would be allowed to give her friend in public to help comfort her. When she spoke her tone was her usual V'Tira impishness..
"Why of course I am correct, I am vulcan..." She then added. "I was right about /you/ with Varel...just I had the incorrect target for you to pursue."
"Should anyone treat you as a novelty, then perhaps it is time to seek such affection elsewhere." V'tira nodded once. "You are a person Veeri...even when used as a toy in a consenting relationship..there needs to be respectful consideration..."
"I do not see such in what you just described. As such it is not a healthy relationship...you should also demand such as a baseline to build mutual respect for anyone that you are involved with."
"You deserve nothing less."

"Thank you..." the trill replied softly. "I just don't even know if it was really a relationship of any kind... it is very confusing. I know I am respected, and that she cares, in a way, I just do not think she likes me for... more than friendly stuffs anymode. But she didn't tell me of such..." She sighed lightly, keeping her eyes closed, swallowing some.
"I really, really think she wouldn't do anything to hurt me on purpose. Maybe she forgot about me, with how busy she is?"

V'Tira quirked a single brow at this and shook her head once.
"I am not condemning this person Veeri, I am only speculating based on the scenario you have lain out for me." She said unemotionally.
"It is probable that none of this was done to purposely harm you, however this person did go outside of the usual expected patterns of behavior for something to be so casual and as such did not follow up and communicate with you to ensure your feelings were respected."
"It does not matter if this was done intentionally or not." She shook her head once. "It is a failure to properly communicate their intentions with you is what I am saying."

"But what if I am the one misunderstanding it? I have never, ever done something like that... all that I have done really was casual and one-time, and very little of it, so I have really little experience? I really cannot make sense of it properly so maybe it was not her fault at all.'
