Smiling to the staff. "Last chance to get me with something before I leave." One of the girls laughed, "Go make your escape, Commander."

Giving them a little salute as if she was taking the comment as an order, she walked out to get Vaytoc.

{Personally Quarters}

Mira walked up to her door, and it didn't open. Frowning, she did a manual over ride.
still nothing. Pushing hard on the door, she forced it open.

After walking in, she turned around to see if there was any damage from this side. Satisfied the damage wasn't from Vaytoc she picked up a padd and sent in a damage report to be taken care of after main repairs to the ship was completed.

" So big guy, how about you and I go shopping and while we are at it maybe you can smell for some Romulans."

Vaytoc's long pointed ears picked up at her, saying Romulans. He knew what they were. Bad people.

Grabbed a climbing and bathing suit, she tossed them into a small bag that she slipped on her shoulder for the holodeck later. Then she headed to the transporter room.

{DS9}

The merchants were out quickly after the attack. Anything to make a profit. Looking at some Bajoran silk pillows Mira tensed as she felt warm breath on her ear. Then a male voice said "Get the red ones."

Mira grinned it was Garahl, her klingon mate's cousin. She gave him an elbow into his stomach as she laughed, pushing him back a little. The only reason he had gotten so close was because Vaytoc knew him. He looked at the sales woman " She will take the red set. I'll pay for them."

Mira smacked his arm. "I can pay for my own things!"

He just laughed. "You are part of house Rasmehlier. Would Kolar let you pay for anything?"
Rolling her eyes Mira said, "No he wouldn't but...."
Garahl cut her off. "There is no but. It's an honor."

Mira rubbed her forehead as if he was giving her a headache making him laugh even more. "This will be fun" he said.

Rolling her eyes she asked the woman to send the things she picked out to the ship and moved off to the next merchant.

she needed a statue for her room but the one she really wanted was a horga'hn. There was no way she was having Garahl pay for that! Still the workmanship was wonderful on this one. Putting it down with regret she promised herself she would come back later for it. Garahl picked up a dragon and handed it to her. "this will go with the pillows. "

Laughing, Mira agreed.

Not long after Vaytoc growled low as he pressed into her leg. Putting her hand on his head she whispered, "What is it, big guy?"

She picked up from him that he smelled Romulan but didn't know where.

Garahl leaned into her "What is it?"

Not wanting to tell him federation business but also not wanting to lie she just said, "Vaytoc smells Romulans."

Frowning Garahl took a deep breath. " A faint scent as if they passed awhile ago. Odd I don't remember seeing any."

Mira just shrugged not saying anything more.

After saying she had enough things and that her small quarters couldn't hold anymore she kissed his cheek and promised to meet him for dinner later. Right how she had a meeting with Dax.

Mira knew she would be early but if Garahl kept buying things there would be no room for her in her own quarters.

{Quark's Bar}

Getting a table Mira ordered a blood wine for herself and some food for Vaytoc. Just then ensign Chin sat down with a big smile on his face. Then he placed a horga'hn on the table. " It's a house warming gift. I saw you looking at and thought." he gave a little shrug.

Mira's hand covered her face as she laughed. "By all that is holy Chin do you know what this is? what it means?"

He shook his head slowly no. oh what had he done.

Mira sighed " it's. ..... well it's. " she shugged. "To give it to someone or displaying it publicly indicated that one was seeking jamaharon."

He just gave her a blank look not understanding so she leaned in and whispered the meaning in his ear. Seeing him turn beet red, he almost knocked his chair over getting up so fast. "No, you got to be joking."

At the shake of her head he added. " No wonder Rodriguez had me carry it and couldn't come to give it to you."

Mira laughed she couldn't help it. "It's OKay! really it is okay. It's also a standard prank some people pull on someone that doesn't know about. Clearly Rodriguez knows and since I lived on Risa I know. Don't worry about it. I'll help you get him back sometime."

Chin nodded as he backed up. "Yes getting him back sounds good. I should be going." he left fast so she wouldn't make him take it back to the ship.

Just then, she got a ping on her padd. a message from Lt Kronnelti with his report. she frowned as she read it. Perhaps a Vulcan Romulan mix? she thought to herself.
