>Seconds later, the landing party found themselves in a medium
sized
>conference room that had been set up for a smal lbanquet. The table was >elegantly decorated in the Cardassian style with tans, teals, and lavenders >being the colors of preference. While it took up much of the room, there >was adequate room for the visitors to mingle before lunch was served. >The only person in the room was the Gul they had been talking to earlier. >He had turned to face them when he heard their transport begin. His face >brightened with a smile as he spread his hands. "I welcome you all to >Cardassia Prime." >Valtris glanced around the room. "You always seem able to make everyone >feel so at home," she said taking in the decor. If only your torture >chambers were this pleasant." >Melora's eyes narrowed at her peer's rudeness. "If only your reception >areas were as clean, Valtris," she said before walking over to the Legate. >She leaned forward to kiss him on both cheeks. It was not an action that >was native to the Cardassians, but a group of French Red Cross workers had >brought the custom to Cardassia Prime after the Dominion War and it had >taken hold. Watson noted the custom which was very uncharacteristic for a
Cardassian.
>Valtris had to fight to keep the contents of her stomach. Since when was >Melora so lady-like? She let the comment about cleanliness slide since she >knew that would do more to irritate her rival then responding with her own >remark. Watson stepped forward, "Gul...Ambassador James Watson. Pleasure to meet
you." He bowed slightly.
>T'Kresh stepped toward the Gul. "Thank you for making these arrangements on such short notice. We all >appreciate it." She glanced around the room and wondered where Golan Dulath was. "Is the former >ambassador going to be joining us?" >"Of course. He will be joining us shortly. I wanted to give
you all time to settle in before we got down to >business so I scheduled his
arrival for a little after yours. I believe that he will be quite pleased
to see all of >you. He has fond memories of his times on
Spacedock."
