[ She finds herself wishing they were speaking face to face instead of this. It would be much easier, she thinks. Less awkward if she were able to better use non-verbal communication. ]

Raleigh is very entertaining, yes. That is why I was surprised to see that he gets along so well with Sergeant Hansen.

[ And that, for the uninitiated, is a yes, he's very nice, though not my type. ]

[odont]

[ He made sure that his main competition was out of the race before even beginning. ]

Very well from what I've seen... And happy.

[ So that is not him condemning their relationship. More to them. ]

[dekiru]

Yes. Though I wish I did not have to experience it so closely in the drift.

[ No condemnation here either. She doesn't even mind it that much really - it's a component of the drift she has always had to be prepared for. It's out of fun that she pretends to care. ]

If I had something of my own to trade for it... 笑

[odont]

There must be countless suitors at your feet.

[ That is a dash of jealousy you're detecting there. ]

[dekiru]

I would not know who is at my feet. I prefer a person who looks me in the eye.

[odont]

You are an incredible woman, Mako.

[dekiru]

Thank you.

[ Shut up, you're blushing. ]

You are very impressive too.

[odont]

I'm glad someone finally noticed.

[ A thought struck him and she was a very reasonable level-headed woman. He saw no reason not to ask. Although he felt he needed to preface it. ]

May I ask a personal question out of cultural curiosity?

How much experience do you have with courtship? Terran or otherwise.

[dekiru]

Some. Why?

[odont]

Cultural differences. Personal curiosity over a friend.

[ The Big Test. ]

[dekiru]

A friend?

[odont]

Aren't we ... friends?

[ Here's to making a damn idiot of yourself, Odo. ]

[dekiru]

We are.

Are you asking to court me?

[odont]

.... Well I had hoped to go about it in a more romantic way than that!

[dekiru]

笑 I apologise! Should I pretend I did not ask?

[odont]

If you don't mind.

[dekiru]

Of course. I will leave you to court me at your leisure. 笑

[odont]

With how many arrive daily, I was not planning on waiting much longer.

[dekiru]

You would be surprised by how few of them will look me in the eye.

[odont]

I would be more surprised at how few deserve to.

[dekiru]

You seem to have the hang of this already.

[odont]

Thank you. I was somewhat worried.
