"Mmm. Likely, though no one can take care of them like a mother... but you could consider a bordering school back home when he gets older." she says, legs crossed. She shrugs. She knows little of Betazed herself, though she does wish for the powers. She just smiles at the woman. "Solves both problems."

"Hmm." Ava's mouth twisted into a frown. She paused for a moment, taking a long sip from her drink, then tossed up one of her hands. "I can't make these decisions. What a terrible mother I've turned out to be." She looked away from Jeckor, holding back the tears welling in her eyes and trying to remain nonchalant.

"Is it dead? Have you killed him when I wasn't looking?" asks Jekcor, entirely too calm for what she was saying. "He's survived this long, hasn't he?"
She shakes her head and purses her lips. "That's what a mother is supposed to do, isn't it?"

"There's more to parenting than ensuring mere survival!" Ava scoffed, looking as if she couldn't believe what Jekcor was even saying. "Oh, but you wouldn't know, would you??" Snapping her mouth shut, Ava realized what she had just said, and covered her lips with her fingers. "I'm sorry, that was..." She cleared her throat and trying to regain her composure, even though the room was starting to tilt a little. "That was very rude of me."

Jekcor narrows her eyes and wrinkles her scaled nose and the truth just sort of slipped out. "No. I wouldn't. I use medical knowledge to keep myself from having offspring until I am properly assured a timely and wanted birth."
She stands, having been rude back, she brushes off her very nice dress as if you've gotten something dirty on it. That's what she gets for trying to be neutral and nice about a topic. Of course, insulting another's child is a terrible thing to do, but she rather calculated Ava wouldn't remember anything of the conversation at this rate of alcoholic consumption. "Dear, do you need to be escorted home? You seem to be wobbling."

Ava gave a small scoff, looking scandalized. How could Jekcor imply that her child wasn't 'wanted'?! "No, thank you," she said with plastic politeness, practically broadcasting her annoyance. "I can rather take care of myself." Tucking a wayward strand of her violet hair behind her ear, she gave Jekcor a nod and went to return her glass to the bar, stumbling slightly along the way.

"You don't really act like you can..." she says, walking after the woman with the slither of a snake. "I find that's rather common among humans, they stumble around wherever they go... at least, they usually bump into interesting things as they do." She attempts to reach out and take the woman's glass before she accidentally upends what is left of the contents.

Ava neatly lifted the glass out of Jekcor's reach, smugly setting it down on the bar in triumph, albeit a bit more loudly than necessary. "Luckily, I'm not a hunam." She paused, realizing she hadn't quite said that right. "... Humam. ........... Hu-man."

"Oh, yes. Betazoid- I thought you were half- I can barely keep track, you look similar biologically, except for the eyes and the brains. You seem to stumble just as well." she teases back. "In the mouth too."

Ava began to giggle, suddenly finding this all very funny. Soon she was outright laughing, holding her stomach and doubling over. "Oohhh, gods!" she wheezed. "In the mouth!"

Jekcor stares down at her calmly. "Yes, your tongue just stumbles around in your mouth like it doesn't know where it's going." She smirks though. Good, she's been funny.

Wiping a tear of laughter from her eye, Ava looked back up at Jekcor. "That's only the alcohol talking, dear," she chuckled. "Buuut... I think I might need help finding my way back to my quarters," she continued, bursting into a fit of giggles again.

"Hm... so it seems." Jekcor gestures her to the entrance. "Computer, please show the way to Lt. Audax's- ... or is it Deloi, dear? I don't remember the Betazoid naming traditions?"

The doors of Gaelic swish open, revealing a short little Caitian. Her eyes perk up when she spots the two. "Avaaa!" R'Mash greets her friend perhaps a little too loudly, outstretching her arms before glancing to her... sort of... friend. She holds her smile, genuine, dropping her arms to her sides. "And Jekcor." A glance between the two, not having expected them together and noticing her exotically haired friend seemed somewhat off. "What is happening?" What is up, Mashy. Take a another cultures class.

"Uhm, that would be Audax, m'dear," Ava smirked. "As demonstrated during our onship wedding--" She was cut off as R'Mash appeared. "R'Mash!" she exclaimed, taking the signal for a hug and throwing her arms around the Caitian, sending her an empathetic burst of warm friendliness. She smelled like fruity liquor.
