Lieutenant Zyal Antilles smiled as she stepped out of the bathroom, she wore a towel around her waist and around her chest, Jake was out at a friends place as she would have time to spend alone with her wife, she emerged into the master bedroom before the Cardassian female sat down on the bed, before she started to dry herself off. She was in the middle when the door opened and in walked Fleur Antilles. "Hey, Zyal. Use all the hot water?" Fleur grinned at the Cardassian woman before her while the human female was busy slipping out of her uniform, all the while she was admiring the handsome Cardassian female before her on the bed.

"Of course." both women knew the replicator could make another fifty liters of water at a time and could make it as hot or as cold as needed but it was an inside joke between the two. Zyal grinned at the human female. "So, you want some company?" she inquired in a rather sultry tone of voice, she was hoping her spouse would say yes but Fleur did want to be left alone at times which she was fine with too.

"Sure, you can wash my back for me," Fleur responded, a rather feral grin on her face as her wife stood up, slipping off her towel as she turned and went back into the bathroom. Fleur followed her spouse into the bathroom. Zyal stepped into the shower, she gently slid her arms around her wife, she drew the human female close before the two women shared a rather passionate kiss on the lips. Fleur instantly relaxed as she enjoyed the experience.

Meanwhile. Lieutenant R'Merah smiled while he regarded his dining companion. Command Master Chief Petty Officer Suguna Sathiyamoorti as the two were seated in the messhall eating a meal. The Captain made it clear that he expected his crew to remain alert as the Tholians were being downright unreasonable regarding the Joseph System. Suguna was still in uniform whereas R'Merah was wearing only his fur and a lanyard with his combadge and his rank from around his neck. "You think the Tholians are up to something or are just trying to start drama with us?" the Ferasian inquired.

"I'm honestly not sure... But I am sure of the fact that my sons behave better than the Tholians and that's on a bad day." Sathiyamoorti explained evenly. "Still I have to wonder, what's their issue with us laying claim to Joesph and the surrounding systems along the border."

R'Merah simply shrugged. "Does anyone need a reason to be unreasonable?." he inquired of the female before him. "I don't remember anything of my past but I have access to all of my files. I was extremely unreasonable and I had no reason to change," he explained in an even tone. "Since then. I got mind fried and I became, well...me. for lack of a better word." the took a bite of the food on his plate as he finished his sentence. "What did you say this was called?"

"Pizza. I wanted something with a lot of meat for you." Sathiyamoorti explained.

"Ahh, it tastes different but it's not bad either," R'Merah explained evenly. "I'll admit, I've never had it before and I doubt I ate it in my last life."

"Past life?" Sathiyamoorti inquired, as soon as she said it she mentally came to the answer herself. "Nevermind, I figured it out on my own."

R'Merah regarded her in silence a moment. "As I said, the pizza is good, if a little different," he added before he lifted another slice and began eating it.

Meanwhile, seated in his office was Stephen Franklin, he was reading a PADD which he held in his hands. "I wonder what the Tholians are up to." he mused aloud. "Computer. Have there been any major Tholian Fleet movements into the border areas over the last six months?"

"Negative." the answer was instant which for Franklin, was a major surprise as he had not seen that one coming. "A rogue Tholian General might be starting shit for his own ends. But why?" he asked aloud.

"Please elaborate?" the ship's computer asked of him.

"No. I was not asking you." Franklin responded. "I can't help feel that something is not right, they are planning something but what... I have no idea." he mused aloud. "But why now?." he mused. "What's their game plan here..?" he added.
