Hiding this fact might cause them to do something about it, but that is something for the Imperial Intelligence to determine." Ta'pez said and showed a mug towards Falco whose empty beer glass was screaming for attention.

Tauvits' reaction of picking up the fresh mug was automatic, despite his considerations in regards to Bloodwine and the affect it had on his vertical status. He took a large gulp, paused with the liquid still in his mouth as he allowed his taste buds to realise he wasn't drinking bitter anymore, then swallowed, and nodded at the vintage. He doubted he'd be up to see any of the early morning fights tomorrow.

"What brought on this discovery?" he asked. He knew that the fair thing to do would be to ask K'Hare himself of the matter, and he would, but he was happy to delay decency a conversation or so for the sake of establishing a safe place for his daughter. The lad S'ol had spoken well of what was offered to students at Klach D'kel Brakt, and Tauvits could see the plan being ideal. Unless Ta'pez predicted a sudden collapse of K'Hare's powerbase and status, in which case more exploration of the situation would be required. "I mean, I doubt it just came out because the man had too many mugs of Bloodwine..."

"It was discovered by accident. K'Hare had accused me of hiding my true self and I answered by telling who I was and what heritage was flowing through my veins." Ta'pez replied sipping on his wine in the process. " One of the federation qels had scanned me to confirm my tale as a son of Klingon and betazed parents. Since K'Hare was right next to me the Qel scanned him aswell."

"Your tale?" Tauvits asked with surprise, before common politeness could remind him that interrogating drinking buddies was not always deemed acceptable. But instead of backing off, he decided to simply soften the intrusion. "And if it bothers you, you're sitting with a blue-skinned man who's stuck in between two species. I got over judging on this sort of thing over forty years ago." He grinned, in that faintly silly way of his he had discovered was disarming some time ago and had proceeded to thus promptly over-use, though this time he ensured the sincerity of his words remained.

Ta'pez chuckled. "I never realized how tolerant curious Andorians could be."

He topped off Falco's mug and continued.

"Well my maqoch, where shall I start." Ta'pez said. "K'Hare had learned a while ago of my betazed heritage and sought to blackmail me with that knowledge since not many beyond my House know of my biological parents." Ta'pez continued. " Apperently he thought I would hide in the manner he has hidden his own heritage."

Ta'pez interupted his telling while a klingon was getting some drinks from the bartender. Once this newcomer was gone he continued.

"I have nothing to loose, my house and those above me know of it." Ta'pez said " He on the other hand did not, not even his cha'DIch knew of it. I assume he will have to do a lot of explaining now to those who had interest in his success."

Tauvits nodded in gratitude at the refill, but was not unobservant of the pause in conversation with the Klingon passing by the bar. "Curious news indeed. I would imagine K'Hare is not taking the news well." He eyed Ta'pez evaluatingly for a moment. Traces of non-Klingon blood were not visible to him, but some trace of telepathic or empathic awareness would, most likely, be present with Betazed blood. This was, perhaps, even more curious an attribute with a Klingon warrior.

"Do you consider his future to be stable?" It was, Tauvits reasoned, a question which could be about more than just his daughter. Klach D'kel Brakt was close enough to the Triangle to concern the Theseus' operations; a commander of the base other than K'Hare would be an additional concern for his mission.

But right then, he would settle for Ta'pez's opinion of the situation. He himself found it dimly amusing that these two rivals, when discovering a similar foundation upon which they both stood in a sea of differences, could see nothing more than how to use it against each other,and were unable to even consider bridges.

"Nothing is certain these days," Ta'pez said " he is a strong and deadly warrior yet noone has trust in him."

He took a big gulp and continued. " A double of him is prowling the sectors close to the romulan border and Klach D'kel Brakt itself. His boss wanted to arrest him because they though he was the double, you cannot work or trust with such a warrior."

Ta'pez knew he hadn't answered the question directly, but then again he didnt need to.

"A double?" Tauvits again consulted his drink for some advice. Although the Bloodwine appeared more understanding than the dark ale had been earlier, enlightenment was still not found in the drink. Perhaps at the bottom of the mug.

As he swallowed the next gulp, he mulled over the situation further. "Very curious times indeed. I think I shall have to have a word with the good totlh." He supped on his bloodwine further. "And you? I cannot imagine matters to be easy with discoveries being made and what has happened with your father." Tauvits gave Ta'pez a firm nod. "I am sure you have many strong warriors at your disposal, but if you ever require my assistance in hunting those responsible for his death, or wreaking bloody vengeance upon them, I have some experience with such matters. Especially the latter." His curiosity was sincere, as was his offer, but shifting away from the topic of K'Hare would probably also be wise at this juncture.

"My house will gather soon and we shall pursue the matter in the gravest manner possible." Ta'pez said. "I have heard of your aquisition of the Thethus, such a ship might come in handy for things that my house might not be able to do on its own."

Ta'pez stopped and motioned to the bartender. "Brings us some Heart of targ for my friends here, and make sure there is some Racht after that."

He turned back to Falco. " I apreaciate the help, and if there is need for you to seek help, remember me." he said with a look of an agreement in his eyes.

Tauvits smiled thinly. "I wouldn't be so quick to make such a statement. I might just take you up on that offer when I've investigated some business I have here."

Then he paused, considering what had just said. "Racht... that's like gagh, but bigger, right?" He took a hefty gulp of bloodwine before the rather more important consideration had sunk in. "And heart of targ? Well... I've never tried that before." It was the best diplomatic answer he could summon. "Should be interesting." Tauvits blinked in confusion at the culinary delights it seemed he was about to be subjected to. Perhaps, with a little more bloodwine, he might cope with the wriggling.

Ta'pez said taking up his tankards. "Cheers"

"I'm not a connoisseur of Klingon food, just so you should know. Wriggling dinners are a novelty to me. But I'll try my best. And wash it down with plenty of bloodwine, mark my words." Tauvits happily clinked tankards with Ta'pez, looking mildly apprehensive as the food, probably replicated or drawn from suspicious stores, was brought out.

He eyed it all dubiously.

"How the hell do you eat this stuff?"

"With your hands!" Ta'pez roared in laughter and then dug into the targ meat.

He chewed on it for a while on it then said. "Not quiet as good as a klingon would prepare it but then again - not quiet as bad as some Federation might prepare it."

He moved the plate with it forward towards Falco. "Try it, and if it gets stuck in your throught do as i do now." tapez continued and then emptiet the tankard.

"Plenty bloodwine needed, then," Tauvits said, eyeing the targ meat, and knowing he really couldn't possibly decline unless he wanted to make an impressive faux pas. Or at least cause unnecessary offense.

C'mon... you've never tried it before! It might be great! You ate haggis, for God's sake, what's a little Klingon cuisine going to do to you? Your stomach's already solid through excess whiskey and has been lined with bloodwine. What could go wrong?

So he followed Ta'pez's lead and grabbed himself a handful of the meat, shoving it into his mouth and setting about chewing before he could allow himself to think. It was a little chewy, forcing him to work on it for a short time and allowing him to savour the taste, which wasn't as terrible as he might have guessed. Still, if sober, he wasn't sure he'd have dared to get this far, and although it demanded a little more bloodwine to wash it down, it was fairly edible for a half-empty stomach after a long and trying day.

"It's good," he said when he finally had an empty mouth, and was surprised to find he didn't have to lie through his teeth to say it. Maybe extend the meaning of 'tolerable' about as far as it could go, but fuelled by alcohol, he could have done a good deal worse, and decided to punctuate his approval with another handful, which went down a little easier than the last.

He could clearly feel the Falco's disguist and yet here he was eating and bearing his his burden rather impressivly. "Drink some bloodwine my friend, it will make it go down easier." Ta'pez encourage the blue man.
