Mission: Lantea
Location: Various
Timeline: Prior to away team departure

Arriving home Sky was hoping Talsi was going to be there ahead of her, Xavier had said that Talsi wanted some time to spend with her before the twins arrived.. “Tal are you home?”

Tal walked through a vine like covering that led to the washroom. "Just got home as a matter of fact. You are home early."

Sky nodded. “I’ve been working longer hours than I should be of late, so I’m doing as I should be doing and cutting it back. Besides Xavier said you wanted to spend some time with me.”

"I ain't complaining." Tal replied as she walked over. Wrapping her tail around her. "Ive been thinking about how uncomfortable I made the Commander when she first came. I was wondering if you can assist me in avoiding that in the future."

Sky nodded. “That I can do, you’re just not used to Interacting the way others do. It’s nothing you’re purposely doing wrong.”

"Not saying wrong, but i have had... looks from certain people. The commander was just the more vocal about it."

Sky nodded. “Well to start with your size is enough to make some people uncomfortable, you’re very tall compared to most of us, they also don’t know much about your species as a whole. Maybe we could change that by having a little get together on the holodeck, or something along those lines.”

"Perhaps." Tal responded. "If you will help me I think I can do that."

Sky offered Talsi a warm smile. “Of course I’ll help you Tal, I’m your wife it’s what I’m here for!”

"Well, I think its well over due. To what does the borg call it, to assimilate into the society."

“You could word it that way but others might not be comfortable with it.” Sky smiled. “I’ll help you to adapt to our way of doing things, that I promise you.”

"Whatever you can, I will be happy with."

Sky nodded. “Then the first step is to teach you what counts as acceptable clothing in a social gathering, I know you don’t like wearing clothes but it’s what people are used to.”

"Appropriate attire... I havent found comfortable attire as of yet."

Sky nodded. “Okay so we start with that, we can go shopping find you some suitable clothing that’s comfortable to wear. I love shopping so it’d be fun!”

"Then, perhaps we make a date out of it."

Sky nodded. “Sure! I’d love that. I still have a few baby things I need to buy.”

""With everything you already bought. What else do the babies need."

“Well babies do need quite a lot of things Tal” Sky grinned. “Besides I like shopping! The nursery is all but finished, I just want to add more to it.”

"Do I need to request an expansion?"

Sky grinned. “Of course not Tal, I’m not going to go mad buying things.”

"Very well." She replied. "Care to discuss your... intentions?"

“My intentions?” Sky smiled. “Okay, I’d like to buy myself something, and to be honest I’ve no idea what else right now! I’ll just...know when I see it.”

Tal nodded. "Then lets go and find something."

Sky nodded and smiled. “Sounds good to me!”
