Sulu and Katie
Hikaru wasn't a huge fan of formal events since he had the tendency to stick his foot in his mouth quite often. For the past few years, he'd had Ben on the rare occasion when he'd been home and had to face a required event. That wasn't the case now but thankfully he'd been spending a lot of time with Katie and they'd become good friends. He wasn't sure if this was a date exactly but at least he wasn't alone.
"Thank you for coming with me," he said to her as they sat down to dinner. "This promises to be a pretty boring evening especially since I have no idea what this trade agreement is alla bout, I'm not a diplomat but I'm glad you could come."
