<strong>Name/Rank:</strong>Lieutenant Thera Regina-Garak<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Infirmary/Promenade/Quark's<br/><strong>Activity:</strong>Being escorted to Quark's by Damar and Garak<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Jean-Luc Picard, Open<br/><hr/><br/>After five minutes of waiting for the nutritional hypo to work, and another five minutes of Julian chewing her ear off about the proper nutrition for a pregnant woman, Thera was allowed to leave the Infirmary with strict orders to actually<em>eat</em>something substantial instead of relying on the nutritional concoction that had been injected into her system. For their part, Julian made both Garak<em>and</em>Damar promise to<em>force</em>her into eating something if necessary, which Thera assured him<em>wasn't</em>going to happen. Damar's hand slipped into her own as she stepped out of the Infirmary, causing her to give a little smile. Had anyone<em>else</em>done that, she was<em>sure</em>that Garak would be flaring his neck ridges and flushing them with blood in a display of dominance, but since the three of them were pretty much living together<em>-seeing as there were barely enough buildings to house the civilians let alone the government-</em>, she knew that Garak wouldn't mind.<br/><br/>Besides, she'd overheard a conversation between the two Cardassians one night, with Damar admitting that he was beginning to feel less than<em>friendly</em>feelings for her, and she'd been surprised that her beloved Elim had been the one to suggest that they let things progress as they would. She'd thought<em>for sure</em>that he'd be the jealous type, but it seemed that on Cardassia, not only was family<em>everything</em>, but with the way things were at the moment, a union of two males to one female wasn't going to be frowned upon. Thera herself didn't mind either, as on her own planet, it wasn't unusual for one female to mate with two males, and after everything Damar had been through; losing his wife and son, having to operate in the shadows to save Cardassia with the help of a<em>Bajoran</em>no less as well as almost dying<em>-and he would've if it hadn't been for Thera and her venom/blood mix-</em>, he deserved at least a<em>little</em>happiness.<br/><br/>To begin with, the trio were headed towards the replimat, the one place that her husband had spent a lot of time with her best friend. However, as soon as they saw how<em>full</em>it was, Damar suggested that they divert to somewhere they could get a<em>substantial</em>meal. Almost at once, both Garak<em>and</em>Thera blurted Quark's, as Thera didn't really like Klingon food, and she didn't fancy any Andorian food. So, they adjusted their heading and started towards the Ferengi establishment. As much as Quark mostly sold replicated food, all three of them were aware that the real thing was<em>so</em>much better, and his place was pretty much the<em>only</em>place that they could get<em>real</em>Zabu Stew,<em>real</em>Larish Pie,<em>real</em>Sem'hal Stew and<em>real</em>Hasperat. Not to mention, his Red Leaf Tea was to<em>die</em>for.<br/><br/>Upon entrance to Quark's, Thera's eyes immediately zoned in on someone from her past posting. At first, she was confused as to why he was off the ship, but then she realised that perhaps it was the fault of one Doctor Beverly Crusher that he was. Whilst Garak waited at the bar, Thera ambled over to her former Commanding Officer, gently touching him on his shoulder once she was next to him. "Captain Picard?" She inquired. The look of surprise upon his face when he saw her, along with the brief glance to her swollen stomach, had her chuckling a little and self-consciously pushing her<em>short</em>hair behind her ear. "Fancy meeting you in an establishment such as this. How are you sir? How's Will and Data?"
