The whisper in the ear meant only one thing, Business was back on the cards. "Of course. See you later, my Lady Ebele." he replied watching her leave before going back to the appetizer, rather slowly. Hoping to both savour things and maybe catch another glimpse of her.

[Later after meal.]
 
Ebele was behind the Bar; a couple of tables were being righted and two large men were standing at the Bar as Ebele seemed to be reading them something of what humans call the 'Riot Act' and slapped two napkins in front of them it seemed. What seemed out of place was the short barrelled percussion style weapon propped behind and to her right within ready reach. The Klingon Bouncers were dusting themselves off and the two men did little more than touch the napkins and slide them to Ebele to be put away.
 
Andrew had finished his meal and could barely squeeze in another bite. Her choices were wise and flavourful; it gave him an itch he wanted to scratch when it came to the Lady known as Ebele. "I have to make my proper Trill banquet for her one of these days." He said to himself as he came back into the bar. He saw the scene and just about jumped. The weapon behind the bar, the bouncers dusting themselves off and the two men, looking worse for wear and had at least had a verbal round with Ebele. He noted the napkins and how Ebele picked them up. "Wow, looks like I missed quite the rumble."
 
Ebele put the weapon back under the bar; straightened her apron and with a barely noticeable breath went into her serving mode with the customers as though nothing had happened. She had the napkins in her pocket of the Apron as she did not seem to have time to throw them away. Stacy looked relieved as well while Ebele helped calm the workload. She was in her element again and smiling like always, she enjoyed what she is doing and that showed. The tables had chequered cloths over them again and ready for patrons.

He smiled at the Lady in her element, comfortable and smiling. If only he was always as comfortable at all the Diplomatic functions. That reminded him, the Trill 'meet and greet' was coming up, if he didn't find someone to escort soon he would have to be going 'stag' again. After the comments for weeks the last time Andrew was most certainly hoping to avoid that. Still, that could wait till after dinner. Make sure she liked him first. He took a moment to watch her at work before heading for the bar one last time before getting ready to leave.
 
"Hello Andrew." It was subtle in her expression 'lighting up' but enough not to tip her hand. "I hope you enjoyed dinner, sorry that things got hard and fast over here and I could not stay." She smiled. "You ever have a sweet cherry; it is in pineapple juice to add a sweet taste to cocktails." She took a toothpick and put one on to offer him, keeping the toothpick and winking to him.
 
"Always one to try a sweet treat offered by a sweet lady." he replied, taking it and eating it very delicately.
 
"I promise not to be late if I have to roust people out of booths." She grinned. "Not that I am only one who will want to be out of time."


"Of course, I will have the room nice, warm and inviting and be awaiting your arrival with anticipation, M'Lady Ebele." He replied with a kiss to her hand. "Sadly I must be the one to part as I have one last dignitary meeting to attend to before the day is through. Until next we meet, my lady fair."

Ebele watched him leave as she kept what she hoped a simple and professional smile, what bohtered her is that it might not hide the warmth in her cheeks.

“So where did you meet him Boss?” Stacy asked. “Don't tell me it was while reading a book and he just tripped over you?”

“I was reading a fairy Tale.” She gave that far off look as she started to make her rounds. “I do have customers to see to.” She smiled in a way rare to the business woman.

“You owe us a story.” The two Klingon Bouncers warned. “

“I was reading and he .. approached me and we had conversation.” Ebele retort, the Klingons crossed their arms. “Okay come to the bar, Stacy will want the details and I hate having to tell things twice.” Ebele went back to the bar.

The Girls took seats opposite her in the corner of the bar, Stacy came up and with that cute smile she thought looked innocent she agreed to listen.

“I was reading a book, Lord Andrew is an avid reader himself.” Ebele began.

“Two Book Gaughs.” The larger Sister Klingon inserted.

“Worms… Two Bookworms...” Ebele shook her head. “Well I was just reading when Lord Andrew...”

“Lord Andrew… cute...” Stacy interjected.

“Do you really want to ahear, this is not lunch break, so I need to get the details quickly...”

Ebele did manage to recount the details enough to satisfy the 'girls.'
