As Beno explained to Reyna, the girl narrowed her eyes in thought while she listened. She nodded slowly a couple of times, taking in the details. She finally said, "It sounds like you and Thor have that in common. He's a great dog, but..." She looked around and then whispered, "...He's not really a dog." She straightened back up and continued, "He does great dog stuff, but Cindy is always listening through him and keeping an eye on me. Then there's Sarah. She's always listening and remembering things, so that if anything really bad happens, she...um...oh yeah, she's the contingency plan. I don't get to use that word very often." She chuckled, "I mean, Thor is great at protecting me, but he can't be expected to fly a shuttle."
Alex cut in, "Alright, I think you've bored her enough about Thor. I'm pretty sure she's happy just knowing he doesn't shed or drool like regular dogs do."
Reyna rolled her eyes, "You also don't have to feed him or let him go outside. In fact, he takes me for a walk, not the other way around. Thor makes sure I get enough exercise, because apparently that's a problem with living in space. Personally, I don't see the problem. I like living in space. Cindy was right though, after a while, you start to miss things like wind and rain. I never thought I would miss rain." Her eyes lit up, and her expression was almost comical, "OH! Do you like storms? I love thunderstorms! The sound of thunder is a-ma-zing. I've heard of thunder-snow, but never seen it. I hope to someday, it sounds incredible."
Alex leaned in and said in a low tone, "If you're waiting for her to stop, it will be a while. I'm pretty sure that she could act as an alternate warp core with all of her energy, but I can't prove it yet. I'm afraid to think of what she will be like as she gets older, and I'm questioning my odds of surviving her teen years."
Although she looked like she had not been listening, Reyna tilted her head and gave a very cute look of mock scolding to him, "Dad, stop being so dramatic."
Then, in a surprising turn, Reyna looked at Beno for a moment and appeared to consider something. She then shifted and stood to leave. "You have adult stuff on your mind, so I'll leave you guys to talk. It was nice of you to teach me about some Trill things. That was very cool. I also like your spots, they're much prettier and more unique than I thought they would be up close. Maybe we can do this again sometime." She then looked at Alex, they shared a look in silence for a brief moment, she raised an eyebrow and Alex opened his mouth as if to say something and then didn't, but did blush a little again before taking a sip of his drink. Reyna looked back to Beno and with a smile said, "He's all yours.." Then gave an eye roll and went to depart, Thor right at her side.
Alex shrugged, "You know, I tried reading all the material about parenting and I pretty much had to ignore it. Even I wasn't quite that bad at her age. It's sometimes hard to remember that she's only six."
