I'll be sure to thank her for caving, then. Still, you've done a good job with this set up. It's been a long time since I've been to anything like this out of uniform.

[ the last time she attended something like this on business that wasn't an official starfleet/federation matter, it was her sister's wedding. kathryn would've already been married herself, had voyager not been flung into the delta quadrant and effectively put an end to her engagement to mark johnson. she hadn't wanted him to wait for her, but that didn't mean it hadn't hurt to receive confirmation from the man himself that he hadn't, that he'd moved on and married someone else. ]

That's a matter of perspective, but it's been a little over a month since my arrival.
