*Nessa sighed and looked away, dreamingly.*
"I wish I knew how it feels...."
*She said quietly.*

*Kirk pressed her hand.*
"You will. Pretty girl like you? Adventurous, too? I imagine you'll get more than you bargained for, one of these days."

*Nessa looked up at him, blushing, but allowed him to keep her hand in his warm, strong. It made her heart skip a beat, and she didn't dare to look up at him.*
"I am not pretty, or adventurous. Leetah is much prettier than me. And smarter too. You would like her. She is a great girl. Me... I am rather.... boring."
*She sighed, wishing she had been as popular as Leetah.*

*Kirk laughed.*
"Oh, I'm sure I would," *he said.* "But you're the first elf I ever met. And you're hardly boring. You need to have more confidence in yourself."
*He winked at her.*
"Men like that."

*Nessa blushed even more when he winked at her. Her heart beated faster. Now she definitely didn't dare to look at him. Her hands were trembling and she had to force herself to calm down.*
"It is very kind of you to say that,"
*She whispered shyly.*
"And you're right about the confidence. But every time a man can choose between Leetah and me, they choose her. Always.*
*She sighed.*

"Nessa, Nessa," *Kirk chided.* "You're very young. This Leetah... she can't have every man, can she? I should warn you against falling in love with me. I'm a terrible man to pin your hopes on."

*Nessa blushed and looked away again. She still didn't dare to look at him.*
"Leetah is beautiful, and smart. All the men at the court were weak for her. Untill she escaped. As for me... nobody ever notice I'm around, unless they need some work to be done."
*She finally looked up at him, innocently.*
"Why do you say you are a terrible man? You are behaving most gently towards me...."

"Oh, I can be gentle," *Kirk said.* "But I'm likely to leave. I always do. Women... don't always appreciate that."

*Leetah smiled and looked up at him.*
"You have obviously never met an elf before...."
*She smiled.*
"We are not jealous. And we don't like to be tied down. We let men keep their freedom, and we expect them to let us keep our freedom as well. Which is why most elf women are very happy."

*Kirk thought maybe he was an elf in disguise. Without knowing it. He smiled.*
"I see. That sounds... very advanced."

*Nessa smiled and looked up at him again.*
"Not really. All it takes, is love for freedom. Elves can't survive for long in captivity."

"I don't think anyone should be made captive," *Kirk said.* "Only, in some societies, freedom to love as one wishes isn't considered socially acceptable."
*Thankfully the world he came from wasn't that strict.*

*Leetah smiled. Her smiled reached her eyes and made her even more beautiful, something she wasn't aware of.*
"We don't live in captivity here either. But I have heard of other elf tribes, where I wouldn't like to stay. The dark elves...."
*She stopped herself from talking and smiled to him again.*
"Do you have room for dessert?"

"If it's as good as the meal, how can I resist?"

*Nessa stood up and started cleaning up the table. Then she carried in several trays, each tray filled with the most delicious treat one could imagine. She placed them on the table and sat down again, smiling to Captain Kirk.*
"Please, help yourself."
*She poured him a glass of champagne for the dessert.*
