Then she moved o he other side of he able, to si next to Maira on the soft bench that was just big enough for them both.<br/><br/>Their hips pressed against one another and Par slid her arm around the human's waist, holding her close. "I will do my best to guide you on your path, Maira, I will comfort you when you need it, and kick your behind when you need it too. And I will try and get along with the others you share your life with. Except... I'm allergic to cats, so if any of hem is a cat, please keep that one at a distance?"<br/><br/>Her antenna twitched down on that side and delicately stroked Maira's ear and she moistened blue lips with he tip of a blue tongue. Would anyone notice if she kissed he ensign, right here in Ten-Forward? Would anyone care? The words of a song by the Human opera writers, Gilbert and Sullivan came into her head.<em>Love is a platform on which all ranks meet.</em><br/><br/>Almost without realising it, she began to hum the catchy tune from five centuries before. A feeling of contentment came over her. Suddenly, nothing else mattered. She just wanted to sit here, cuddling this insecure but attractive woman and watching the stars flow past in the optical illusion that the Warp bubble created.<br/><br/>She grinned and said softly, "Mesmerising, isn't it? The star field, I mean. But I guess you're used to it, hmm? Now the warp core containment field, that's something you don't want to stare at for too long". She giggled. "Why, I've known people stand and sare at it all day, lost in the sheer beauty and power of it...!"Her voice was soft, warm and seductive and her free hand gently touched Maira's face, gently turning it towards her own, until their mouths were just a few centimetres apart. She smiled, then, and waited to see if Maira would make the next move.
