<div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/3/32/OdedFehr.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Commander Kar'tak Timor Vanzell, First Officer (http://elliquiy.com/wiki/Kar%27tak_Timor_Vanzell)<br/><br/><strong>Location:</strong>Captain's Quarters<br/><br/><strong>Time:</strong>Late evening<br/><br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Captain Lyra Core, Closed<br/><hr/><div style="text-align: justify;">Kar'tak was actually surprised that he had made it this far. He assumed she would deny him, and had hoped that she simply would excuse him with the warning to never bring it up again. Of course he knew she could call security, as well. But he hadn't truly believe she would really -consider- the idea. So, he had every reason to believe her compliments of him when she gave them. Perhaps those things were the only reasons she -hadn't- thrown him out, or into the brig.<br/><br/>"Actually... I would very much -enjoy- the idea of a... relationship with you," he added. He might as well be honest and completely open with her. "I just wasn't sure if that would interest you. But the idea... definitely interests me," he said.<br/><br/>She again explained why she found him appealing, and again he nodded his head slowly in thanks for her compliments. But then she voiced another concern, and he was ready for it.<br/><br/>"Being one of your senior officers, I can assure you that I would fill your shoes to the best of my ability, even if I were grieving for your condition, whatever it might be," he said. "I understand that, to you, the ship comes first, and I would not fail you in that regard," he promised with a solemn nod of his head.<br/><br/>"Of course, it would be my sworn duty - not just as your lover, but as your first officer - to protect you and see to it that such a thing never happened in the first place," he added. "And that will not change whether you accept my offer or refuse it."<br/><br/>"I would hope that, should you choose to accept my offer, that there may be times you might accept each side of my own heritage, as well," he said - the faintest of smiles coming to his lips. Would she -dare- agree to such a thing? Somehow he doubted it.</div>
