Athena stood looking at people scattering one direction or another. There seemed to be a bit of hysteria among some of the civilians, but Athena blocked that out not needing to add those concerns to her own. Spotting Anya not far away, Athena made her way towards the other woman and called to her, "Anya!"
"I seem to remember you suggestion a place that I should visit....." Athena fell quiet for a couple of moments before continuing, "but I don't think I was at my best at the time... could you remind me what you had suggested again ...... if you recall the conversation?"
"Probably unfortunately I do remember the conversation. It was when I told you about my intentions of going to Trill to see my erstwhile grandmother. You warned me to becareful to which I responded that I was by taking along a certain Hybrid Ambassador. At that point I suggested that as Vik would be preoccupied killing the pointy ears that you should go ingratiate yourself with the Hybrid Court as if you and Vik are eventually going to be married you would need them on side. Plus I think you need to at least know his daughter a bit more than you currently do as unpleasant a task as that may be." Anya said but tailed off on the last sentence.
"It doesn't sound unpleasant.... I think its a capital idea. I should arrange it for this R&R. Don't you think so?" {I need to talk to Vik. It should be easier to get a message to him when I'm with Susan..... and I really do need to spend more time with her.}

"Well the sooner the better I would guess." Anya answered but gave some deeper thought as to what she thought might aid the situation.
She looked down at the ring on her hand briefly. {When did I realize that Vik gave me the ring.......} She touched her hair self consciously. {..... the lift.}
"Listen if I can advise anything in this at all, it is simply this. Be honest and be genuine. You're a decent person and you deserve happiness don't screw it all up by lying to provide what you think they want to hear."
"Ummm... thanks... I think Like I'm not nervous at all now... and by the way I don't ever make a habit of lying." Athena looked up as if she were checking a mental list, "Guess I should check with the CO."

Anya shook her head "Look I'm not accusing you of being a habitual liar or anything like that it's the stuff that comes out naturally that I'm talking about. If you're pissed of in front of a Hybrid and you say you're fine then to them as they can see right through you lose credibility."
"Ok... just says what's on my mind," she responded thinking {And to Hell with diplomacy... well maybe that's not such a bad idea .... sometimes it can be very overrated.}
"I don't need to remind you to be respectful to the Hybrid Royal Court but remember and do the same for Susan she may look like a seven year old but that's not what she is inside. Don't patronise her and don't fall for any act that she's naive." Anya said warningly.
Athena nodded her understanding even though her mind was on several other things.
