Kotir: Thank you. I'll check there.


Del Vedova: If he's not -- when you check -- we might as well go get something to eat.
'''Kotir:''' Thank you. I'll check there.


:: Kotir was just about to leave when Del spoke more, it wasn't an odd thing to have heard but his tone of voice suprised him, he wondered if it was something nervous about asking or if he just didn't understand human's as much as he though he did. Although, he would have thought that to still be very plausible. After spending the past couple of years around them, there was still so much to learn about them and their own culture, it was kind of fascinating. Kotir took more than a moment before he would answer, so Del continued. ::


Del Vedova: We're on leave now, right? Hawkeye or Kyvur or the EMH can handle anything that comes in. Have dinner with me. (beat) If Saveron's not there.
'''Del Vedova:''' If he's not -- when you check -- we might as well go get something to eat.


Kotir: I - um. I'll just see if he's there then.


:: He was caught of guard. He wasn't even sure of his own answer, if it even was an answer. He would say yes, he just wished he said it a bit less like a teenager, so awkward. ::

Del Vedova: You do that. I'll be waiting here.


Kotir: Have you got much to finish off here?
'''Del Vedova:''' We're on leave now, right? Hawkeye or Kyvur or the EMH can handle anything that comes in. Have dinner with me. ''(beat)'' If Saveron's not there.


Del Vedova: Just a couple of charts to finish. Then I'll just be (beat) waiting.


:: Kotir nodded. Waiting? Was he going to be waiting for him?.. Again he was still caught of guard. He even started to feel warm in the face before he left to see if Saveron was there. ::
'''Kotir:''' I - um. I'll just see if he's there then.


(Awhile after)


:: Kotir came back. Staff had been summoned by Commander Ross to the Holodeck. Kotir was surprised to get the casual invite, maybe it was a way to start off the shore leave. He wanted to go to Del before he left to get ready, having still been in his uniform. ::
''- He was caught of guard. He wasn't even sure of his own answer, if it even was an answer. He would say yes, he just wished he said it a bit less like a teenager, so awkward. -''


Kotir: It seems I've to go to the holodeck. Some festivities are going on I hear. (He smiled) Would you like to join me? I know you wanted to get something to eat... but I'm presuming there'll be food there. Maybe even for free. (His smile from earlier turned into a bit of a smirk)


Del Vedova: Response?
'''Del Vedova:''' You do that. I'll be waiting here.


:: Kotir nodded, it seemed to be a habit of his. He started walking towards the exit of sickbay. He turned around as he was walking slowly. Still talking::


Kotir: I'll meet you outside the holodeck then?
'''Kotir:''' Have you got much to finish off here?


Del Vedova: Response?


:: Kotir nodded again, with a smile. He even saluted slightly as he turned again on his heels as he picked up his pace towards the exit. ::
'''Del Vedova:''' Just a couple of charts to finish. Then I'll just be (beat) waiting.  


:: He travelled along the corridors, his mind still on Del pretty much asking him out. It was a shock if anything, but he didn't think anything negative about it. If anything it was exciting, he heard there was going to be a fair or something on the holodeck. He wasn't really sure exactly what that was but he'd heard of them before, but had never been. He didn't understand a lot of the things humans did for enjoyment. Sometimes he just didn't understand them, they were alike in many ways, but they were also so much more different than the other. He felt like a lot of human's forget that, be it arrogance or just pride. He still wanted to try this "roller-coaster" he'd been hearing so much about. He had no idea what that even was. ::


''- Kotir nodded. Waiting? Was he going to be waiting for him?.. Again he was still caught of guard. He even started to feel warm in the face before he left to see if Saveron was there. -''


((Holodeck One, USS Mercury))


:: He left his quarters in a very casual outfit. Wearing just jeans, a top with a woollen jumper and boots. Mostly people would just see him in his uniform, he was always so "work crazy", as his old classmates used to call him at the academy. But he was ready for something fun and "thrilling" as some people were putting it. It seemed to be creative such a great buzz around the place. Although it didn't take him long to get there, nor to find Del who was already there. ::


Kotir: Hey sorry, hope you weren't waiting long?
''(Awhile after)''


Del Vedova: Response?


:: Kotir looked to see if he had recognised any of the other faces entering the holodeck. When the doors swooshed open he could hear the loud sounds coming from the room. People were screaming and laughing, everything sounded so energetic and alive. It kind of scared him, at least that's what he blamed for being nervous. As soon as the door closed again it was like that world was completely cut from ours. Gone in a split second, back to the soft humming of the ship and the pitter-patter of feet on the floor as people made their way towards the holodeck. He looked towards Del who had been answering him this whole time, not having heard a word he said. ::
''- Kotir came back. Staff had been summoned by Commander Ross to the Holodeck. Kotir was surprised to get the casual invite, maybe it was a way to start off the shore leave. He wanted to go to Del before he left to get ready, having still been in his uniform. -''


Kotir: I'm sorry. I - (he sighed). I've never been to a - fun fair - before.


:: He pronounced the words as if he'd just been learning them for the first time. He had an idea of what each meant separately but never had he thought the two could come together to create such an event. It was fascinating but also intimidating. ::
'''Kotir:''' It seems I've to go to the holodeck. Some festivities are going on I hear. ''(He smiled)'' Would you like to join me? I know you wanted to get something to eat... but I'm presuming there'll be food there. Maybe even for free. ''(His smile from earlier turned into a bit of a smirk)''


Del Vedova: Response?


Kotir: Sure. Lead the way.
'''Del Vedova:''' Response?


:: Kotir smiled but took a deep breath as Del turned around towards the door. He followed him into the room. It was amazing. There was a great contrast between the night sky and the lights coming from the attraction. He was in utter awe at what he was seeing. It was spectacular! He wanted to run around and just see what everything was. It was very appealing - he could see why people were so excited. Although there was one thing he couldn't get. He decided to ask Del as they headed to sit down. ::


Kotir: What is the function of all this?
''- Kotir nodded, it seemed to be a habit of his. He started walking towards the exit of sickbay. He turned around as he was walking slowly. Still talking -''


Del Vedova: Response?


:: Kotir felt his face warm up again. It was clearly a weird thing for someone to ask. ::
'''Kotir:''' I'll meet you outside the holodeck then?


Kotir: I see... We didn't have stuff like this.. on Bajor.


:: He was still looking around astonished at the sights and sounds. As they sat down, the Commander made his way up to the podium in front of them. Kotir watched, waiting to see what was going to be said. Even if this was a casual event, he predicted some formalities would still happen. ::
'''Del Vedova:''' Response?


Ross: I'm sure you'd all agree that life on the Mercury hasn't been easy of late. The high stakes of our missions, our captain on trial; it's been a time of uncertainty and trials. So this is opportunity for us all to take the opportunity to relax, leave that world behind and just have a little fun.


:: Kotir nodded as the Commander spoke. Everything he said was right, everything hadn't been easy on the ship lately. But he enjoyed the idea of an opportunity to relax. ::
''- Kotir nodded again, with a smile. He even saluted slightly as he turned again on his heels as he picked up his pace towards the exit. -''


Ross: But before we dive into candy floss and G-forces, Ensign DeVeau, would you come to the podium, please?


:: Alora was the woman Kotir had grown fond of working with. He noticed her as she stood up and walked to the podium, he could only imagine how anxious she would be. ::

DeVeau: Yes Sir?


Ross: Ensign Alora DeVeau. You've more than proven your dedication and skill since joining the crew of the Mercury. It's with great delight that I promote you to the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade, with all the accompanying rights and privileges.


DeVeau: Me?
''((Holodeck One, USS Mercury))''


ROSS: Well done, Lieutenant.


DeVeau: Wow. Thanks. I mean...thank you sir!
''- He left his quarters in a very casual outfit. Wearing just jeans, a top with a woollen jumper and boots.

Although it didn't take him long to get there, nor to find Del who was already there. -''


:: Kotir smiled, he was happy for Alora. She definitely deserved it. He continued with his applause until everyone stopped. ::


Ross: And now, Ensign Kotir?
'''Kotir:''' Hey sorry, hope you weren't waiting long?


:: Kotir looked around for a second, expecting someone else to get up. His face heated up though, because he knew exactly who'd just been called. This was the second time today being caught off guard. Not that he didn't mind these ones! He was still pretty shocked however. He stood up, not really looking at anything. His main focus was to get up to the podium without making a complete fool of himself. It brought back the fond memories of graduation from the academy. The day he got the pip which had graced his collar for almost a year. Now it was time to add to that. He couldn't believe it.::


::He had reached the Commander. He felt a little wary, maybe this was just a dream. Or even worse, what if someone was behind him, and it was actually their name that was called. That wouldn't look crazy at all. He looked back for a moment, no one was there. It was him. He reached out his hand to shake the Commander's as he took the box from his hands. He couldn't hear anything. Everything was like a blur, it felt like time was moving slowly but too fast all at the same time. He just prayed to the prophets he didn't faint! ::
'''Del Vedova:''' Response?


Kotir: Tha - Thank you sir.


:: He nodded. Taking the box from the Commander's hand, he turned around to head back to his seat. His hands shaking lightly he brushed the box lightly as he sat back down next to Del. It was such a strange day, but it could quite possibly be the best day of his life. He turned his head towards Del, he appeared to already be looking at him. He didn't pay much attention to the Commander now as he finished up. He whispered softly, it was almost as if he was talking to himself, but Del answered. ::

Kotir: This is so strange.


Del Vedova: Response?
'''Kotir:''' I'm sorry. I - (he sighed). I've never been to a - fun fair - before.


:: Kotir stared at the box in his hands, he didn't open it. Although he knew already that inside would be the black pip which will compliment the golden one already in place on his uniform. He would wait until he was alone. He could treasure the moment of pride as he'd put on the pip. Maybe he could even pick up the courage to dig up his other box, but he knew he wasn't ready for that. Not yet. He brushed his ear where his d'ja-pagh should be. He shook his head and slipped the box he was holding into his pockets before turning back to Del and smiling. ::


Kotir: I heard it's a bad idea to eat before getting involved in -this- stuff.
''- He pronounced the words as if he'd just been learning them for the first time. He had an idea of what each meant separately but never had he thought the two could come together to create such an event. It was fascinating but also intimidating. -''


:: He was referring to the rides. Poor Kotir had gotten space sickness the first time he had stepped onto a shuttlecraft. It was definitely a bad idea. ::


Del Vedova: Response?
'''Del Vedova:''' Response?


Kotir: Well - what do you want to do?


:: Kotir looked around, almost everyone had seemed to go off to explore the funfair that had been created for them here. There was a lot of rides, and a lot of food. The dilemma had two tempting paths; eat now and face getting sick in front of Del, or wait until later and risk getting so hungry you feel sick and dizzy anyway. He felt a lot more towards the later so he made a suggestion before Del made up his mind. ::
'''Kotir:''' Sure. Lead the way.


Kotir: How about we look around, and then eat?


Del Vedova: Response?
''- Kotir smiled but took a deep breath as Del turned around towards the door. He followed him into the room. It was amazing.

:: Kotir smiled as he stood up to go. He knew it would be a good night, even though a lot of stuff had just happened. He still felt nervous. ::
