looking for a game, too

This place needs to be more beautiful; I can help.

Only if you'll let me, of course, but what woman doesn't want to see her true inner light; what man doesn't want to see inner beauty shine through?

I'm a fairy godmother, after all.

It's sad. It breaks my heart a little.

[His barely-there Scottish accent seems to only grow stronger when he speaks now. Probably the nostalgic tones.]

I remember a girl I met at the Academy. Allergic to Retinox-Olhyron, so she had to wear corrective glasses for her vision. Still, devastatingly gorgeous, but it mostly had to do with her confidence, I think.

I tried for months to ask her out, but by the time I got up the nerve, it was too late: I was moving on to Starfleet Command School as a commissioned officer, and she went on to become a Yeoman specializing in stellar cartography and subspatial anomalies. At that point, it would have been fraternizing, so there went that opportunity.

Funny, the things that come to mind.

True love lost? I've seen it so many times. You must be persistent and ambitious, and believe in a sort of magic, magnetism.

[dominion_war_graduate]

I like to think that we're not just given "one shot" at true love. Besides, we were both a lot younger then. As things go, 'academy regrets' are nothing to mourn too badly.

[cinderellakiss]

True love always comes at surprising times, lasting love, the one that goes from the inside out.

How old are you?

[dominion_war_graduate]

Huh? I'm-- I'm twenty-eight.

[cinderellakiss]

You should be working on that, if you want to be Prince Charming. But what a good--[Hold on, give her a second, she gets a little winded... She just keeps sighing.]--attitude about it.

I'm afraid Starfleet isn't the best place for a dating life, ma'am. Besides, we only recently came out of the Dominion War, so I've been quite busy.

[cinderellakiss]

How exciting. Are you a war hero?

[dominion_war_graduate]

No, ma'am. I'm a war survivor. The real heroes ... they don't come back.

[cinderellakiss]

[Well, doesn't she look satisfied?] ...You need to meet a beautiful woman and fall beautifully in love.

[dominion_war_graduate]

[A ... surprising answer, but pleasant.] Thank you for that. Still, I've got a year or so left minimum of deep space time to go.

[cinderellakiss]

But you may find love somewhere far away from home. Nothing really keeps people apart if they're attracted wholly.

[dominion_war_graduate]

It's always possible.

[cinderellakiss]

Somehow I think that would be best for you. Mm, romantic.

[dominion_war_graduate]

With my luck, it would be a romantic tragedy, doomed to end in tears by some ill-fated twist of fate.

Not if you have a scar on your right shoulder and... Lift your brows a bit.
