“You are more interested in the crew member you saw me with,” Quinna stated. “She piqued your curiosity. Am I right? What is she to you? I realize that it was two questions.  So…”


Davelahn looked at the doctor for a moment, considering her question. He wondered what gave her impression that he had been interested in a girl. He had not asked any directed questions about her. This human penchant to go on a “hunch” had always perplexed Davelahn, as they did mot Vulcans. There is a certain amount of calculated risk in them, chance if you will, and humans did enjoy the thrill of gamble. It was not always logical, but it was often correct.


Now he had to tread very carefully. More carefully than he had wanted to. He made his own calculations to decide the correct course of the conversation.


“I am not certain who you are speaking of,” he said. “I believe that I have shown interested in your entire complement. You are a curious collection. When you ask if SHE piqued my curiosity, I can only assume that you speak of the Vulcan female.  I suppose she does have an interest, because she is Vulcan.  More than that I cannot say, as I am unaware of who she is.  She does remind me of somebody.”


Then he looked deeply into Quinna’s eyes.  “However, I have noticed that you have been very… unforthcoming when I asked you questions about your companions.  I would go as far to say you have been… untruthful about them.  This leads me to certain inferences and implications.  First, you stated that this is a working trip.  You are a doctor, are you not?  So I must assume that you are not on Vulcan for traditional healing herbs, but that the Nivar Institute offers something that no other place does.”


He watched her body language to see if his words made an impression.  They apparently did.  So he continued not waiting for a response.


“What does the Novar Institute have that is unique?  It has treatments fro Vulcans, so yes that lie and the fact that your companion was the only Vulcan in your group “piqued my interest” as you put it.  Then there is the fact that I have seen each of your comrades outside of the Institute with the sole exception of the girl.  Your reticence to be completely honest with me drove me to address my curiosities.  You seem to think that I know this girl.  So let me ask you, how do you perceive my relationship with her?”
