Rilg took a sip of his soup.  It was quite good, though it did not reflect 
his own people's unique palate.  He could respect it for the  good 
representation of gastronomy that it was.  He turned to his side to ask 
Ambassador Watons, "IS this your first time on Cardassia?"

"Yes..." he smiled as he took a sip on his own.

"How does it compare to your expectations, Ambassador?" asked  Melora.

Rilg was surprised by her civility.  She never really seemed all that 
diplomatic.  He could not help but wonder whether it was due to her being 
home.

"Ambassador Damesh. I learned long ago not to hold expectations. Having 
lived on Rames for so long I tend to like more lit-up brighter areas but 
this is comfortable."

Valtris raised a glass as she joined the conversation.  "My experience is 
that most visits to planets are rarely what you expect them to be.  That is 
one of the most exciting parts of the job."

"But if you don't have pre-determined expectations you are never 
dissapointed." He smiled.

Valtris layed out a resounding guffaw.  "You are quite correct, my esteemed 
colleague," she said with a smile.  "At least we are hear enjoying this 
lovely meal," she said as she raised a glass to the servers who were once 
again returning.  This time, they brought with them the main entree.

(And? Remember, this Klingon is hungry!)
