<em>"We fired our tour guide before leaving the station... silly Breen always asking us to chill the hallways to frigid levels and shooting anyone who left his tours... was not good for morale..." Makari said in a serious tone, no trace of a smile on his face. "I can even show you the airlock we tossed him out if you like? But I will not be a tour guide, the third pip on my color was given to me with the promise of no need to be a tour guide..."</em>Kavash maintained a bit of a joyful smile on his face.  The Risian commander was doing a great job trying to fill the uncomfortable space time with interesting chatter, but Kavash could tell that although he didn't show it, he was not happy being the "new guys" babysitter.  He was having as much fun as possible with the story though, and Kavash hated to break the concentration the man must have held to say all of that with a straight face.<br/><br/><em>"I would be glad to teach you anything you wished to know, Risians are all about hospitality after all, it's in our nature, or genetics or...</em>Kavash was mildly intrigued by this offer.  He spent a second to get a better look at the man as he prattled off his rolling banter of friendly tour points of the ship.  Kavash had been a female twice in his years as a joined trill, so she understood the concept of physical attraction and desire very well from both ends of the spectrum, but he'd never been with a host that found a yearning for men, so this new sensation began tickling his mind and his body.  "Well I may have to invite you to my quarters sometime once I get settled and take you up on that offer.  I have heard a number of wonderfully exciting things about Risian's abilities in making people feel comfortable and welcome."  He gave Makari a smile, making sure that there was a bit of a hint of flirting in his look but nothing to step over any lines.  Teel had many years of experience in dealing with humanoids, and especially Starfleet protocols, so he was very careful where he tread.<br/><br/>As they entered the Senior Officers area, and came to a halt in front of a door that read 2A6 on the pad next to the door.  Stepping up to the door as it swooshed open for him, already keyed to his comm badge signal, Kavash turned back to Makari and extended his hand once again.  "Thank you again for meeting me, Commander.  If you could give my regards to the Captain and let him know I will join him on the bridge after I have had a chance to drop my bags and get cleaned up."
