Star Trek: Starbase 777 - coffee-in-that-nebula

There's a little booth at Coffee In That Nebula dedicated to a reservation made by the Operations division for T'Evoryn and Vialara, a place for them to drink a coffee and eat a pastry while chatting, getting to know each other in a chill and pressure-free setting.

Vialara made her way into the coffee shop, having received the little message from ops about the location and time of her assigned 'blind date' from this years valentines selections. She glanced around, the shop was lightly filled with people, but nobody stood out to her as somebody who matched her dating preferences she submitted, so she must be the first one to arrive. She found the assigned booth, and quickly moved to sit, choosing to wait for her date before ordering something. There was nothing worse than being halfway through you coffee before you date arrived.

The Vulcan would glide into the coffee shop not long after Vialara sat down, attired in a simple maroon dress. Her eyes quickly scanned the room, before her gaze rested upon the assigned table. “Greetings.” Her voice started off as one would expect of a Vulcan, simply composed and controlled. “If I am not mistaken, I believe I’m supposed to be on a blind date with you.” (edited)

The Betazoid nodded slightly, and gave a soft smile. "It would seem so, I'm Commander Vialara Dreaxa, Starfleet Medical, it's a pleasure to meet you. Little coffee date, I don't think Ops could have nailed the choice of venue any better, honestly." She said, as she glanced around the room. "Thankfully it's quiet enough just now, I hate trying to have a conversation when there's too many people in here."

“I’m Lt. Cdr T’Evoryn. Starfleet Tactical. It is a pleasure to meet you as well.” She nodded briefly as she took a seat, her own gaze looking around the room as Vialara spoke of their surroundings. Indeed it was quite a pleasant environment, at least from what little experience she could compare it to. This was the first she had ever been to a coffee shop, or a date — as far as she could remember, that was. “I agree. It is… quite calming.” Her hands clasped together almost instinctually, her left thumb pushing up against joint of the other in a slow, swiping like motion. That, along with the growing green hue evident on her face, made her nervousness all the more clear. Well, as clear as one could get with a Vulcan. “Shall we order something? I haven’t tried coffee before, so any recommendations would be welcome.” (edited)

"I'm sorry, you've never tried coffee before? How on earth did you make it to Lieutenant Commander without coffee, I can barely make it past breakfast." She said with a soft chuckle as she slid out of her chair and motioned over towards the counter. "Well thankfully I practically live on coffee, so I can make a good few recommendations. Firstly, what's your sort of preferences with drinks? Do you like them quite strong, quite sweet? Milk, sugar, all that sort of stuff."

“No, I… have not.” The words seemed to splutter out a bit. How unusual. “Well, I do enjoy tea, somewhat sweet ones too.” Came the more collected response. The Vulcan rose up as Vialara did, her hands swiftly planted behind her own back. “May I ask what your own preferences are? Perhaps I’ll simply follow your lead. If you don’t mind, of course.” (edited)

Vialara smiled as the two moved over to the counter. "Well, I have this special blend from Betazed, I prefer it quite sweet, so I have sugar, cream, caramel drizzle. It's more of a dessert at this point than a coffee. If you like sweet, you can try my own. I'll order us two, and you can see how you like it." She moved up to the counter, ordering two coffees for the both, exactly to Vialara's preferred taste.
