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 Watson, "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 disappointed." 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. The servers set a number of platters on the table. It was a great deal of food, but it was also much more traditionally Cardassian, which did not necessarily make everyone thrilled. It was tasty all the same. At the same time the two doctors returned with Professor Dulath. All
three quietly took their seats. Dr. Nov also picked up her glass of water
and took a sip.
