Will quickened his pace to catch up with the science officer as she left the staff briefing. "Tarishiana," he said, touching her lightly on the arm to get her attention and then keeping pace with her, "if you have any trouble with the sensor boost Mr. Quinn and I made, let me know and I'll see that it's fixed right away. I can always switch the power down to standard settings if you have trouble. You may want to do some tests before you need to begin scans but I already covered the basics."

Tarishiana turned her head towards Will as he spoke. She couldn't help but smile. "Why thank you, Commander." She said easily with a nod of her head. "I am sure that both you and Mister Quinn did a fantastic job." She gave him one of her favorite flirty grins as she locked her arms behind her back.

Will smiled and gave a nod. "Ah, yes, well I like to think we know what we are doing. I wondered if you might like to join me for dinner tomorrow evening?"

Tarishiana had planned on asking Will the same question but he had beaten her to it. "I would like that." She replied with a smile. "What do you have in mind?" She stopped in front of the turbo lift but stood off to the side to not block the way as she awaited his answer.

"Well, I'd offer to make my grandmother's original fried fish and chips recipe just for you," he said with a smile, "but I'm told I can't cook. So replicators it is. How's 1900 hours, my quarters?"

Tarishiana smile grew as she laughed slightly at the charming Commander. "I'd like that." she said with a grin. "Are we dressing for dinner?" She couldn't help but sound a little hopeful. She may have escaped her life on Betazed but that didn't mean she had hated all aspect of society life.

"That sounds nice," he agreed, "Starfleet uniforms are fine, and comfortable, but they aren't nearly as flattering as a tasteful dress or suit, hm?"

Tarishiana couldn't help but clap her hands together in a very pleased fashion that matched the excited smile on her lips. "Merveilleux" The french easily rolled off her tongue. "It has been so long since I have had the opportunity to wear something other then my dress uniform." She finished with her lips pulled up in a grin.

Will laughed softly at her exclamation. "Good," he said, "I look forward to it. Anything you fancy for a meal?"

"Anything that is already dead and preferably not raw." Tarishiana said with a bit of mock fear in her eyes. She hated Klingon food and their need for live creatures. It was down right creepy. "I am sure whatever you come up with will be delightful."

"All right, no Klingon food," he promised with a smile.
