There was a lot of eye gazing going on at the table that had been recently occupied and Ikaya chose to ignore it. Romance was not something that was in her plans, not even in the foreseeable future. She had learned the hard way that those close to her had a tendency to end up dead or missing.
Kell buzzed around them, fawning over the enraptured couple, and Ikaya's stomach rumbled at the thought of sitting down and eating an actual meal. Times like these made her consider some of Marak's offers, but she knew that was exactly why she was hungry today.
"It's actually my job to intervene with my hand on my secondary spermatophore, as you call it. The first job of any military man I to keep the members of one's society free from harassment, hostility, and danger from types like you bothering them."
"Types like- Excuse me?" Ikaya's dorsal spine stiffened. "What exactly do you-"
"So do you always make a habit of harassing and offending Starfleet personnel and Federation citizens?"
Her eyes narrowed at him. "Harassing? Offending?" A strange sound came from the extra organ at the back of her throat. "I was trying to save them! Do you know how many pieces of illegal baubles are on this rock they call a base? I know, because I-" She bit her tongue figuratively, almost verbally outing her profession. "I know."
Pointing at Caroline, she kept looking at the big man in front of her. "Do you think she is capable of fighting off someone who recognizes that trinket and wants it back?" Of course, this was all false bravado, but what th' hell. "She'll be dead," her hand swept to indicate Luis, "and he'll be all mopey and Starfleet will waste your time trying to investigate what could have easily been prevented by my "harassment"."
Her finger poked into his chest. "So get your facts straight before you open your mouth."
