K'Vada smiled. "You look like her," said K'Vada, referring to Cologero's Nonna.
The picture of young Cologero with his Nonna was adorable: big brown eyes, a crooked little smile—the type of smile every little kid has—a few missing teeth where his adult teeth were obviously coming in, freckled cheeks, and a grin that would melt anyone's heart. The picture radiated love like a supernova.
"I would like to meet her someday," said K'Vada.
She took a sip of the wine.
I'm so glad I came here, thought K'Vada.
Cologero then turned to her and said, "I do wonder what you imagined my quarters would look like."
K'Vada looked around his quarters again. She recalled all the men's quarters she had seen back at the Academy.
"Well, according to Human cultural norms, a young single man's quarters are normally strewn with dirty clothes, a replicator full of dirty, unprocessed dishes, a table with a day-old, half-eaten sandwich containing some kind of meat, walls covered with posters of their favorite alcoholic spirits, along with posters of half-naked women and their favorite professional sports teams, as well as a tank containing a fish or other small creature whose enclosure is long overdue for cleaning," lectured K'Vada.
"It's nice that you are so... so... domesticated. Tame?" K'Vada wasn't sure which word best described him.
K'Vada took another sip of her wine.
"So, Cologero, tell me about your family. Do you have any siblings?" K'Vada asked.
