	Mary would like to think that she did not have feelings. Unfortunately, she would be wrong. She couldn't quite say if her feelings were hurt though. That would imply that she had feelings for Lucifer that were greater than friendship. "Apparently that is more difficult than I thought it would be for a woman like me. I have never done such a thing before." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"There's a first time for anything." Jadzia winked at her. "One of my previous hosts was a one person kind of woman. She got attached easily and needed an emotional connection or she couldn't enjoy it. That's natural, too." She signaled to buy a another drink for Mary. "Is it exciting? Scary? Are you disappointed in yourself?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mary accepted the second gin and tonic, though she planned on sipping at it only. She had made enough bad decisions over the past few weeks to last a lifetime. "It.. was very good. He was good." Her cheeks colored. "I like him a lot, though my feelings are not romantic. It's not that I'm disappointed in myself. It's simply... changed things between us." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A little bit drunk, what was the worse that could happen? "It can, if you let it. I've been friends with people I've slept with before." Jadzia lifted a hand and rubbed the back of her neck. "Though I've been with those where it did get awkward after. Usually you can talk it through." Just usually, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mary & Jadzia ladycontrary 2017-04-16 07:53 pm UTC (link)
	Nope. No more drunk for her. At least not in public. In she and Jadzia's room was another story. "I hope he'll still talk with me. I think that he is avoiding me." Thus his notable absence from the bar that evening. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"He might want to give you space, knowing how new this is to you." Jadzia was glad, at least, that Mary had no regrets and didn't seem to have felt pressured. Otherwise, she might have to learn if the devil can survive the vacuum of space. Figuratively. Probably. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mary & Jadzia ladycontrary 2017-04-16 08:09 pm UTC (link)
	"Perhaps," Mary replied, with an elegant shrug of her shoulder. "I worried that it would ruin our friendship, and now I am afraid that it has." Plus there was a deep seated worry that he had found her lacking and was too polite to tell her about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mary & Jadzia jadzia_dax 2017-04-16 08:15 pm UTC (link)
	"You have a couple of choices," Jadzia said. "You could let him come to you, and he probably won't, at least not at first. Or you could talk to him." She winked. "Don't give him a chance to escape." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mary & Jadzia ladycontrary 2017-04-16 08:22 pm UTC (link)
	Mary gave a slight smile at that. "Accost him, then? Do you know that I can be quite stubborn?" She might have been able to tell after living with her for about a month. Mary could be positively immovable sometimes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mary & Jadzia jadzia_dax 2017-04-16 08:24 pm UTC (link)
	Something told Jadzia that stubborn women were Lucifer's type. Then again, they were kind of Jadzia's type, in so much that she had a type. Lenara had been very stubborn and Jadzia had nearly caused them both to be exiled from their homeworld over it. Come to think of it, Worf was pretty stubborn too.

	"That sounds like us," she said, her smile growing now. "Did I tell you that Jim took me on what is being termed 'a date' by some people?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mary & Jadzia jadzia_dax 2017-04-16 08:29 pm UTC (link)
	Jadzia sat up straighter, a huge grin crossing her face. "Did he? That's fantastic, Mary!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Err, it was before... Lucifer." And possibly explained Lucifer, even slightly. She and Lucifer had a lot of history that added to her ending up in his bed. "Anyway, he took me to Starfleet headquarters and showed me some books - real ones. It was quite sweet."

Mary laughed slightly, shaking her head, her cheeks slightly flushed. "Anyway, I am sure that you are tired of hearing about my romantic life."

	Mary & Jadzia jadzia_dax 2017-04-16 08:49 pm UTC (link)
	That actually did explain Lucifer. Jadzia bit back a comment about the Captain making it hard to resist urges. "That does sound sweet. Bet you didn't expect him to think about that." She waved her hand. "I really don't mind, it's better than thinking about mine. Not that I have one." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mary & Jadzia ladycontrary 2017-04-16 08:56 pm UTC (link)
	"He was a perfect gentleman... not at all like the rumors I've heard." Their flirtation had been mild and very respectful. It hadn't been what she was expecting. Mary took another sip of her drink. "Do you wish to have one?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mary & Jadzia jadzia_dax 2017-04-16 09:06 pm UTC (link)
	"And is that what you want? A perfect gentleman? Or something a little more dangerous. Though I think Kirk gives both in equal measure." Jadzia looked down at her drink. "I think I've already decided I might not be going back. And if I'm stuck here." She shrugged a little, and knocked back her drink. "Everyone on this ship is insanely attractive." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mary & Jadzia ladycontrary 2017-04-16 09:10 pm UTC (link)
	Mary laughed slightly at that. "I do admit that I was expecting him to be a bit more forward, but he was not. Perhaps he is trying to be good." "I've noticed that there are a lot of good looking people on this ship," she replied. "How is that?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mary & Jadzia jadzia_dax 2017-04-16 09:22 pm UTC (link)
	"I think he might have been. You're a lovely lady, and I think he wants to treat you like one." She smiled, her inner shipper's heart more than appeased by this development. "It's annoying. It's nice. Some people are a little extra distracting." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Mary did carry herself with a certain level of regality and she was sure that was obvious to Jim. Perhaps he could tell that she came from a time and society that were very proper and he was acting accordingly. "I enjoyed my time with him," she said. "I told him that I looked forward to our next time together."

She cocked an eyebrow at Jadzia's comment. "Who is extra distracting?"

"I hope there's a next time together. If not, i'll lock you two in the holodeck alone." Locking people in the holodeck was going to become a thing. Jadzia had every intention of doing that to Marian and Lucifer, too.

"You mean besides half the crew and travellers? While I don't have a type, I still kind of have a type. Stoic and a little sad." Jadzia rubbed her thumb over the rim of her drink. "Mako. The one who came from giant monster world."

Mary laughed, though her cheeks were tinged pink. She would love to take him on a "date" through the Downton simulation so that he might see what her home looked like.

At Jadzia's confession, Mary's eyes widened slightly. "Oh." That wasn't the response she was expected. Wasn't Mako a woman? "Forgive me, but... weren't you married to a man back home?"

She did know about gay people of course, but sexuality was much less fluid in her time.

	Jadzia found Mary's blushing endearing. She really, really wanted to push those two together. Now kiss, and all of that. "Yes. Gender isn't an issue with me." Even before being Joined, it hadn't been. "I hope that isn't a problem for you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mary & Jadzia ladycontrary 2017-04-19 07:14 pm UTC (link)
	"No..." Mary said, though she was confused. "A person can be attracted to people of both genders at the same time?" She had never really thought of that, nor had she ever met anyone like that. Even meeting a gay person was rare in her time, although she knew that one of their male servants liked men. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mary & Jadzia jadzia_dax 2017-04-19 07:25 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes, a person can be. Or attracted to more than two. And for some people, they might prefer women but still find some men attractive, or vice versa." Jadzia replied. "I've discovered this is pretty universal among most species we've encountered, even humans. I like how the Vulcans look at it. Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations."

"Oh." There were certainly women that Mary thought were beautiful, but she couldn't see herself wanting to be with a woman ever. Frankly, she enjoyed men too much, both intimately and for friendship purposes. But she couldn't say that it bothered her terribly that Jadzia was interested in both men and women. It was just one more thing that made this century so different from her own.
