Location: Targ Restaurant

Lys stepped out of the science department and thought that perhaps she would try the other restaurant to eat at. She really liked the music at Orchids and Jazz and the food but sometimes a change was good. She strolled quietly and entered the Targ restaurant and paused just in the door.

"Welcome!" T'scholk stated as he came around to greet the starfleet officer. His smile wide and his blue eyes welcoming. "Would you like a table or a seat at the bar, Lieutenant?"

"I prefer a table, but either will work." Lys replied softly as she looked around at the decor.

"A table it shall be." T'scholk led her to a table with two chairs and gestured toward the table. "Please help yourself. May I get you a drink?" T'scholk then handed her a PADD with the full menu available.

"Tea, cold if you have it. Do you have any specials of the day?" Lys asked as she took the menu.

"I have a special of Targ gumbo, or a Romulan soup with Bajoran spices served with a hot and sweet hasperate." T'scholk said as he went behind the bar with a glass of cold tea, he gently placed it in front of the Lieutenant. "If you want something special just let me know. As long as I have the ingredients it will be my pleasure to make the dish for you."

"Oh no, the Romulan soup and hasperate sound delightful." Lys replied as she crossed her leg underneath table. "How long has the restaurant been established here?" Her tone was curious and polite but quiet.

T'scholk went behind the bar grabbing a bowl and using a ladle to scoop out the aromatic soup. "A few weeks." he replied, next he started out on the hasperate. "I find it more delightful to be on a station compared to planets. Here I have regular customers but also new people, quite a change from Romulus, Qu'onos, Bajor and even Earth." The mix of the hasperate brine and the herbs in the soup quickly filled the air. "How long have you been in starfleet? And if I may on the station?" He asked as he carefully plated the hasperate.

"I've been here just a few weeks. In fact..." Lys chuckled "I still get lost often. Starfleet a little longer but not quite so green, besides the Academy a little over four years." Lys went on to explain in her own little rambling quiet way.

T'scholk came around the bar with the tray of soup and hasparate. "I never quite understood Starfleet designs, some of the designers must have a perversion to get new crew members lost." T'scholk smiled as he placed the soup and hasparate in front of the lieutenant. "I sincerely hope you enjoy your meal, please let me know if there is anything I can get for you."

Lys nodded and dug into her meal. "Mmmm, nicely done." She said quietly and continued to eat.

"It honors me to have you say that. Thank you." T'scholk said as he went back to the other customers. He hadn't been on the station long and already was enjoying it more and more each day.
