ON:

Liam watched as Tera excited and turned back to Drusilla his lips pursed. Something was definitely wrong. Tera had been nervous, anxious and that little display wasn't about love. It was forced.

"You let yourself get a weakness," the Klingon woman observed.

"I think you might be right," Liam nodded.

"She's playing you,"

"No, someone's making her try play me, she's not like that," Liam said.

"Cardassians," Dru asked.

"Most likely, I've been having to do a lot of blocking Turvan. He was going to retaliate eventually. I just thought this was beneath him," Liam said taking his seat behind his desk.

"So the real dance begins," the Klingon said, "good job I got into town."

"Why do you think I requested you," Liam said with a grin.

"You needed an ally with your new teenage controlling bitch of a Captain,"

"Nah, I needed a reminder of the old days ready to put my decent battle armour back on," Liam smirked.

"Once you dust it off you mean. And if Soran fired you or fires you,"

"I need a job," Liam grinned.

"And this Tera, your lover," Dru asked putting her feet up on Liam's desk having taken the opposite chair.

"I need a favour,"

"I'll put someone on keeping an eye on her, you might of had to formally turn down my fathers offer of Ru'ustall after we got Merzan out but your part of the house regardless," Dru told him. "They attack you, they attack all of us. And besides Dukath has his own orders on the Cardassian, its fortunate that things got mixed in. I take it you want a low profile."

Liam nodded, "Very low. Thank you."

"So what's your plan later?"

"Well Either Teras going to tell me what's going on and we can look at things or I'm going to have to break up with her to keep her safer," Liam said simply. Truthfully he hoped it wouldn't be option two but then his luck with women never seemed to pan out. Typical, just when he was opening up to the idea of taking the next step and putting this Noelle Bennet thing to rest.

"Hope you get the outcome you want," Dru stated. "Shall we get the boring shit attended too then?"
