Ceres was leaning against the far wall, her foot tapping to an imagined tune in her head as gray eyes scanned the crowd, curious. Sighing, she took a long drink of the water she had managed to find and frowned. She knew no one... Even the crew from the meHHaj, she only knew a few members... She stared down into her cup. K'Tar appraoched Ceres slowly. He was feeling bad about what had happened...yet he didn't really know what to say. "No bloodwine?" Ceres blinked, not allowing herself to be startled as she slowly glanced up, gray eyes narrowed. "I prefer to be focused." "I see..." K'Tar sighed. He had never apologized to anyone, yet he knew he must apologize to Ceres. "I...apologize for striking you on Khitomer." Ceres took another drink, seeming almost unfazed by K'Tar's words. She shrugged. "What's done is done, what's said is said. You can't take it back or change it..." There was a lull in the conversation. "I was thinking of transferring back into Starfleet." She said honestly. K'Tar couldnt believe what he was hearing. "Starfleet?" K'Tar said, full of disgust. "Why?" Ceres refused to look at K'Tar. "I don't belong here. My blood may be half Klingon, but I was raised by my Human father... I even look more Human than Klingon... Look! You can barely see my ridges!" K'Tar sighed. "There is more to being Klingon than just ridges. They may barely be visible, but they ARE there. Klingon blood DOES run through your veins. It does not really matter who you were raised by as long as your heart is Klingon. Take Worf, Son of Mogh. He was raised by human...yet he is an honorable warrior." Ceres growled and placed her cup down on a nearby table. "I have nothing here! Yes, M'Rek and Ness have become my friends but the one person I truly cared about threw me halfway across a dining hall and tried to kill me." She snarled, stepping close to him. K'Tar nodded. "Yes...however, I have apologized. As you said, what happened, has happened. You ARE half human and it will take me time to get used to that." Ceres shook her head and gave a laugh that was far from amused. "K'Tar... but the time you realize what you want, it'll be too late." She gave him a disgusted frown and turned to walk away. K'Tar grabbed Ceres' arm. "I do know what I want. I want you, Ceres." Ceres yanked her arm from his grasp and crossed them over her chest. "Then stop being a coward." K'Tar narrowed his eyes, holding back the sudden anger rising within him. Nobody had called him a coward and lived. "And just how am I being a coward? Especially when it you who is planning to run off to the Federation?" Ceres scowled and resisted the urge to attack him. "You are a coward for fear what others would think of us, for attack me, for being so insanely jealous over people I had said were only my friends. I wanted to go home, to see me father..." "I am not afraid of what others will think of us or else I would not have been with you in the first place. I was not jealous, I was only stating that you were not acting like a Klingon Mate. I...am not used to human customs. Why must you join Starfleet to see your father?" Ceres shook her head and sighed. "K'Tar... I'm really not in the mood to talk about this. I'm tired." She turned and picked up her cup of water, taking a small sip, still not meeting K'Tar's eyes. Instead the brunete chose to stare at ther feet, tucking a few dark locks behind her ear. "Who is being the coward now?" K'Tar asked. Ceres smirked. "K'Tar... That comment doesn't work on me... For I am always a coward, inside at least." She waved her hand and decided to take a seat at a nearby empty table. "And why is that? Are you afraid to accept your Klingon side?" KTar said as he followed Ceres to the table. "I really don't want to talk about this here, in public... We're surrounded by people an I'm telling you I'm a coward. We can continue this later." She didn't look up, instead she fiddled with her cup. "Or we can continue it somewhere else. This may be a shock to you Ceres, but I do care about you...I do love you." This made Ceres glance up before she frowned and glared. "You sure have an odd way of showing it." She stood and moved to walk past him, heading for the exit. K'Tar blocked her path. "I told you that I apologize for striking you. But it is hard for me to accept human customs. Surely you can understand that." "Yes, but I'm still human... and it's hard for me to adapt to Klingon customs... I don't think I've ever eaten this much meat in my entire life..." She laughed softly, trying to lighten the mood. "And you are doing well. I...have missed you," K'Tar said. It was hard for him to show his feelings to anyone. Ceres looked up at the much taller Klingon with a small smile on her lips. Reaching up, she placed a tiny hand against his cheek. "Perhaps we can start over?" K'Tar took Ceres' hand. "I would like that." Ceres' smile grew as she allowed him to take her hand. "Good... So when is your first match?" "Tommorow I believe. TaPez wants us to join the crew in a private dinner to celebrate the MeH'Haj. I told I will attend. Will you attend as well? It is tonight." Ceres nodded. "Yes, of course." She looked around the crowd and arched an eyebrow. "So how many people do you know in here?" She laughed softly as she knew almost none. "Just those from the crew as well as my brother and sister," K'Tar stated. Ceres turned to K'Tar obviously curious. "Brother and sister?" A grin slowly spread across her lips. "Interesting..." "Yes, they are here on....family matters." KTar siad, not wanting to go into the details with his feud with the House of B'Reml. <<JP by KTar and Ceres>>
