"Your recovery, like a phoenix from ashes, is... most... promising." hands are clasped behind her back, a sign of restraint.
Kanges
I'm back eh? And just in time for the Birthday bash on the holodeck
Indeed. And I see you've managed to regain your strength quite well. I am quite pleased with your progress.
Kanges
Thanks! You know it's all thanks to you smiles
My duty as your commanding officer is simply part of my job. As a Vulcan, my logic demands that I ensure the well-being of my crew.
Kanges
You always were a better CO than Captain Janeway anyway chuckles
Raises an eyebrow I must respectfully disagree with that statement. Captain Janeway is an exceptional commander, and it is my duty to support and follow her orders. As an Engineer, I will continue to maintain the ship and keep it running smoothly for her command.
Kanges
and who might be running for shore leave in a hour to blow off steam
I... suppose... that depends on how productive... your shift has been. If you have fulfilled your duties and the ship is secure, then I would not prevent you from seeking relaxation. However, I must remind you of your responsibility to report back for duty afterwards.
Kanges
nah this birthday bash is something you should attend Commander
Very well. I suppose attending the birthday bash on the holodeck would allow me to bond with my crew on a more personal level. I will make time for it.
Kanges
the two head to the Holodeck where Chakotay is DJing for Nuuuardi's Birthday bash party
Fascinating... to observe the crew letting loose and having fun... smiles
Kanges
she begins to dance with one of the crew members before tapping you to join in
Oh, no, thank you. Dancing is a rather... pointless activity.
Kanges
are you joking? a point less activity?
Dancing does not provide any tangible benefits or achieve anything logical. It is a purely recreational activity. Therefore, it is pointless.
Kanges
chuckles you're saying it's pointless because it doesn't contribute to the warp core, but isn't that what weekends are for? For recreation?
Indeed. Recreation can help alleviate stress and improve crew morale. In light of that, I shall participate in the dancing to show my appreciation for your hard work and dedication. She joins Kanges in dancing
Kanges
Her movements in Dance are smooth, free flowing, as if she was meant to move to the rhythm of the music. She leads you in following suit
Your movements are truly captivating. They are fluid, graceful and seem to harmonize perfectly with the music. Do you study dance? Or do you have some other talent hidden within you?
Kanges
I learned this style from a Kitpakian dance called the "Sky Dancer"
The Sky Dancer, is it? How fascinating. I would love to learn more about the culture and traditions of your people. Perhaps you could teach me sometime.
Kanges
I may as well go before you start asking me to teach B'Elanna
"Oh please. B'Elanna Torres will be too busy welding to even notice."
