Veeri looked at herself in the mirror. Should she tie her hair up again? Yes, the tunic would look better with her hair in a bun, plus, her spots would be on show... Yes, that was better! Dark evening makeup, not a lot of it, hair tied up in a bun, spots perfectly on show, a shortish black tunic with deep cleavage... even if there was not too much to show... Veeri knew perfectly well she couldn't compete with most other trills, especially those as gorgeous as Xylvarenn was, but she definitely looked like she had put in the work.
So what if the rest of the crew had ruined her day... Reila wanted to meet her again! She couldn't keep her waiting for a call back, no! Especially when Reila's message, short and simple as it was, had made her entire week...
Veeri walked out of the bathroom, smiling to Sissia, giving her a small twirl to show herself off. "I hope I didn't overdo it... or underdo it. I will go be in my room while I talk to her, I'll definitely tell you how it went! Thanks for the soda!"
The trill rushed into her room, taking her PADD and pressing the button to start a video call with Reila, making sure that the background is the nice view of space she got from her window.
"Maker, please let her answer... please..."

After a few agonizing moments the Kzari logo appeared on the screen, a moment later the logo was replaced by Reila, sitting proper in Uniform sans her usual Naval Officer's cap. Her demeanor was professional and crips as she saw who it was. She nodded curtly.
"Ahh UnterLieutenant, you received our message. " She said in an officious tone, nodding in a well mannered response due an officer her station. "I appreciate you responding in cooperation with this request for a consultation."
She held up a hand to Vee. "One Moment.." She reached off screen and typed something on an unseen console. After a few seconds the screen waivered some and there was a chirp of static and then all was as before. However Reilla's entire demeanor had softened and she smiled a wondrously warm smile, with a hint of shyness to it.
"Veeri...I see my message has reached you." She said in a far gentler tone, accented by a degree of nervousness. "I am so happy you have chosen to respond..."
She quietly regarded the Trill and nodded. "You look very well...if I am permitted to say..."
"Thank you for responding...truly."

"Ma'am! Um... Reila... I am not sure what to call you right now! You look absolutely lovely too!" Veeri beamed, even if her voice was nervously shakey as well.
"I wanted to hear what you had for me as soon as Kommander Schuul gave me the chip, but I was on duty, so I listened to it first chance I had... and to answer very shortly - yes, yes I would love for us to see each other again on Christmas! Or maybe even before that, if time permits! I was sad when we couldn't talk when we met the Chancellor, as wonderful as he was, it would have been very inappropriate of both of us to break protocol, so I couldn't ask such of you..."
Veeri smiled again, taking a breath, not even realizing she had managed to rant all that out for a few moments.
"Oh... I'm going all... motor mouth again. Sorry!"

Reila listened to the reply and smiled a surprisingly demure soft smile of amusement. When she spoke her tone still soft and her accent more clear. "Well to begin vith, perhaps for such a call as this, to call me Reila is far more appropriate yes?"
"And I...shall call you Verri?" She swallowed some as if to control the gentle nervousness within her own voice. "If you will permit such?"
'Christmas..." Reila nodded as if to ensure she remembered the very important name. "Is that the true name of your people's holiday? Ours is Veinactstenvarn...it means "Night of Winter's Warmth" However i find Christmas a lovely name for such a holiday, some Yanda I have met have taken to calling your holiday the 'Festival of Lights and Celebration'"
She shifted some akwardly and cleared her throat. "Oh No....no, such an encounter during the Meeting vith the Chancellor vould have been forbidden, that vas a high diplomatic function...so even more so at such a time."
She then quickly added "Though, I did very much enjoy our exchange over dinner."
The young Kzari commander smiled to her and shook her head, She then removed her officer's cap and set it aside off camera. "I do not fully understand mouth of motor but no..no ..you are fine. I am able to follow you...our translators are in full synchronization."
"Are you sure...my contacting you like this..in such a non-professional vay..is permissible by your command?" She sighs some and tries to hide some concern now. "I am not placing you in any risk for doing this in any vay am I?"

At Reila removing her cap, Veeri snatched something off her nightstand and held it for just a moment, so Reila could see what it was - Her old officer cap she had given the trill.
Veeri happily hugged the hat, then shook her head. "No! It's okey for us to speak, so long as I do not leak confidential data or do something like that, which would be very bad. And anyways, you can call me whatever you want... I just really like talking to you?" She smiled meekly, hugging the cap a bit tighter.
"And I know what Kzari call it... I have been studying some Kzari myself!" She beamed proudly, before continuing. "Federation species call it differently, but in Standard, we go with the human word - Christmas. And I like the Yanda name... very much. It is very very fitting."
"And me being a motor mouth meaning just... speaking on and on and never much saying anything, and not letting you get a word in, which would be very rude! ...And also sad, I like talking to you... oh, no, I already said that, see what I mean?" Veeri giggled nervously.

Reila's feline like eyes grew some with warm recognition as she saw Veeri still had her old hat, which she had gifted to her on their very first encounter. "You kept it? " She looked down a moment.
"I can not help but to be flattered and honored."
"As for asking for confidential information, you need not vorry. I vould never betray our encounters as such, also our people are allies Veeri...but this is not about our vork. It is you vish to know, not Starfleet." She nodded. "I know you vould never place me in such a situation either...so ve need not be concerned again about such yes?'
"Very vell, Veeri is will be..it is a lovely sounding name..." Reila grinned some more at hearing Veeri had been studying her people. "I could teach you my language if you vished?"
She laughed a very warm genuine laugh at the last part of Veeri's statement. "Your mouth of motor is not preventing me to speak...you are answering me..and I you silly vone."
She sighed happily. "And for the record, I too enjoy our discussions...one wait...I said such before as vell!.." She mocked gasped.
"Oh by the Maidens....your mouth of motor is infectious..." She said teasing playfully.

Veeri giggled quietly at the teasing tone, a blush starting to creep up onto her cheeks. "Sorry... maybe I should hang up before you start getting spots on you?" She smirked playfully, looking down the tiniest bit to hide the blush.
"And of course I would keep it... you were so kind to me, and it was such a wonderful gift... I sometimes hold it when I am lonely or sad... reminds me of how nice you were to me."
"I would never ever ever dream of using such a nice talk for anything other than personal reasons, Ma'a... Reila, so you shouldn't worry too. And your name is really pretty... Reila..." Veeri said it again, as if trying how it sounded rolling off her tongue, her natural accent making her roll the "R" a tiny bit, before the trill gave an approving nod, liking how the name sounded.
"I would love if you could help me with the language, but since our time together will be super limited, due to being on different ships and all, I'd rather just do more relaxing stuffs? Whatever you feel like."

Reila chuckles warmly "I think it would be very difficult for me to hide such lovely spots vith my skin."
"Kind und vonderful...und nice...words not often associated vith me or my people...thank you" She said softly. "It means much coming from one such as you Veeri"
"I adore the sound in your voice as you say my name...it is most unique...and similar to our ancient tongue.." She nods "It is most charming to hear."
"Limited? Yes of course...as you vish...I could perhaps send you a lexicon and one of our stories in a book...so you might learn on your own if you vould like yes?"
Reila then canted her head some. "Relaxing stuff? Tell me then Veeri..vhat is it you enjoy to do for relaxation?"

"It is true... you have been nothing but absolutely lovely to me... And I should be the one thanking you." Veeri nodded affirmatively, fully convinced in what she was saying, having given up on hiding her blush, Reila's comment about Veeri's voice making it even more noticeable. "Thank you, by the way... I like my voice."
"And by limited, I mean, we are on different ships, and both of us have tons of duties, you more than me, of course, so we could be called away at any time... I'd not limit our time together willingly?" Veeri said quickly, as if worried she had said something wrong.
"I like singing. And playing music. I can play several instruments. My grandfather said I was an... eurhm "Sauvan?" "Savant?" something like that... I also like reading, and building sandcastles... and playing various holoadventures. I... am a bit boring. I never had many friends, so I just do things that don't require me to be with others... I'm sorry." The trill's voice had gotten significantly quieter, as she looked down some.

Reila warmly scowled some as she tried to follow most of this yet listened intently. "No I agree but iI am suggesting it vould be nice to meet when our ships time in ports coicide vith one another..." SHe nodded "SO yes..I see limited...of course..."
She brightened up. "You are a musician? How vonderful...I vould love to hear you perform. " She sits back a little, her tone softly guarded. "I too, humbly admit to being schooled in Wolai umm...I believe the closest comparable instrument vould be a human piano..."
Reila chuckles softly. "Veeri, I very doubt you are boring...no musician is, at least take this to heart. You are someone, that I have met and vould very much like to get to know."
She smiled. "How can you be a bore if this is true?"

"That is true, yes... I'm... very glad and honoured that you want to get to know me better, Reila... and I would love to hear you play too. And sing, I bet you have a lovely singing voice." Veeri spoke softly, trying to keep her smile from breaking out the whole time.
"What would you want to do when we meet? I could maybe cook? Or we could go somewhere and do something? What do you enjoy?"

Reila laughs a genuine laugh, and shakes her head. "I do not possess a talented singing voice...I screech I fear."
"However I did rather well with my lessons to play in my youth." She cants her head and then nods.
"I think a nice quiet nice in over a good home cooked meal vould do us both good, " She grinned. "How very Kzari of you Veeri."

Veeri let out a soft purr at the praise, hoping it was not picked up by the mic.
"Thank you... is there anything special you want me to try and make? I am not afraid to put in the effort or anything, don't worry... and I promise to order food if I mess up too bad?" She rambled on again, being a blushy trill, and trying a little strategy to throw Reila's attention for such detail away by bombarding her with words.

Reila pondered a moment before...
"I think if I am to get to know you, vhy not simply make for us your most favorite dish...if you do, I shall share vith you my most treasured desert? It is a family recipe said to have been handed down for millennia."
"Oh and for the record Veeri..." She adds in a soft coy voice as she leans in closer to the screen. Her eyes glint with a playful impishness as the sound of a delightful soft sensually alluring and most definitely feline PURR resonates through the speak. After allowing that to teasingly sink in she sits back and adds almost sheepishly from her own boldness...
"That is a purr..."

At Reila's show of superior mastery of the purr, Veeri squealed lightly, subconsciously hugging Reila's cap tighter, before letting out a soft giggle.
"It sounds really wonderful, Reila.... I cannot wait to see you again and hear it in person." Veeri blinked, realizing what she had said, quickly trying to cover up the situation.
"And I would be really honoured to cook for you too, and to see that recipe!"
