Carrhae did not reply. She simply took in the sights, sounds and smells that surrounded her. Unlike earlier, no fleeting memories came unbidden. This place was very different from her home in Hawaii. Here the night was crisp and decidedly cool, too cool for her Vulcanoid physique to be comfortable. Yet, it was warm inside the house, and it was inviting in its own way. Carrhae removed her jacket and hung it in the nearby closet. Next came the scarf that had protected and hidden the delicate upsweep of her ears. Her civilian garb was simple: a burgundy silk blouse, jeans and soft kid boots. Her dark hair flowed loosely about her shoulders, something "Admiral t'Llhweiir" would never have done. For a few hours, though, the weight and responsibility were half a world away. She walked over to the transparent wall and studied the view beyond. Like Matthew, she was a connoisseur of nature. Perhaps it was the many years spent in space. Continuing to take in the view, she replied, "Judging from its aroma, I would say it will be a satisfactory substitute."
