Quinn was leaning against a tree just outside the Transporter hub on the planets' surface. Dressed in white tee shirt and tan colored shorts with hiking boots, she looked like a normal tourist. She smiled as she spotted Anje through the crowd.

Anje, in her pink shorts and matching boots and her favorite USS Bozeman t-shirt, made her way to Quinn, a blue bandana wrapped around her head so she could surprise Quinn with her new look, ~Can you surprise a Q though?~ She wondered as she got closer, embracing and kissing the redhead when they finally touched, "Good morning, beautiful."

"Hmm good morning yourself gorgeous." Quinn grinned and took Anje's hand and spun her around. "Don't you look Sassy."

"You like?" Anje smiled, then took Quinn's hand, "So, I did a thing." She removed the bandana, revealing her new hair, "What do you think?"

"I think it suits you. You look amazing." Quinn grinned and turned to start them walking.

"Thank you." Anje replied, tucking herself under Quinn's arm as they walked, "And I think you roll out of bed at amazing. I mean, assuming you sleep and all."

"We do not require sleep, it is true. But then you must remember that my looks are just what I want them to be. A glamour if you will."

"Well, if that's the case you chose well." Anje complimented, though she wasn't sure if she totally believed that version of events, "Either way, glad you're here with me, that's the important part."

Quinn smiled and walked beside her. "So where shall we walk to?"

"Ummm, in this case maybe we better let you lead." Anje giggled nervously, "I've actually never been here before. But, I figure you know all the best spots."

Quinn nodded. "Ok.. the beach is this way." she waved a hand left "and the market place is to our right."

"So let's start at the beach, then maybe some shopping?" Anje suggested, wondering what sort of gift a girl bought a Q on their second date.

Quinn nodded. Then she paused. "Where is your buddy?" She asked. "Your ship instituted a Buddy system."

"I figured it would be okay for you to be my buddy." Anje shrugged, "Though I guess I could have my sister Milla join us if you're worried."

"And what would Pene say if she knew you came down without a buddy?" Quinn asked ignoring the suggestion.

"I'm fairly sure Captain Lalor knew we were going to be together." Anje laughed, "Some of the others aren't as happy about it, but I don't give a damn. We're here together, I'm happy, hopefully you are, too. They can mind their business far as I'm concerned."

Quinn smiled sadly "I do hope I am not causing too much trouble between you and your fellow crew."

"Nobody I'm really concerned about, no." Anje shrugged, she found it hard to be concerned with whether or not Azhul the racist or Morris the misogynistic bully liked her, "My sister thinks I'm nuts, but she's never liked anyone I have and she's awful quick with the 'I told you so' shit. You know, a Russian through and through."

Quinn smiled. They moved to the boardwalk beside the sand and water. "Well, i will try not to cause more issues."

Anje leaned all the way up onto her tiptoes and kissed Quinn deeply, "It's okay, you're worth the trouble. All of it."

Quinn kissed her back. Then gently she disengaged the kiss and smiled into Anje's eyes. "Same goes gorgeous"

"Oh?" Anje raised an eyebrow, Spider had done a pretty good job on them as well, even though Anje declined her suggestion to pierce one, "Who's giving you trouble, love?"

"No one important to you." Came Quinn's response. "Shall we walk along the shore?"

"Absolutely." Anje smiled, leaning against Quinn's chest and smiling.

Smiling back, Quinn walked beside Anje along the sand. She felt the breeze against her skin. She knew they were watched, not by Starfleet though.

Anje was also getting the feeling of being watched, something Auntie had trained her to always notice, though with Quinn she felt completely safe, so she didn't bother mentioning it, ~Probably just some leering pervert anyway.~

"Anje?" Quinn said softly. "I think there will be a problem here on the beach shortly, we should depart."

"Okay." Anje nodded, stroking Quinn's arm comfortingly, "We can go if you don't feel safe here." If it made a Q uncomfortable, something was wrong for sure.

Quinn slid her arm around Anje's shoulders and they moved off the sand and onto the boardwalk. "Just keep your eyes ahead." she muttered. Phoenix would kill her if Anje was hurt.

"What's wrong, love?" Anje asked, Quinn was seemingly near panic, something Q's didn't do from everything she knew of them, "Can I help?"

"No. Anje I want you to beam back to the Elysium. Now. Do not stay here. Someone is coming and They are aiming for many different people."

"Come with me." Anje replied, wanting to keep Quinn safe, ~She's a Q, idiot, she's safe...~ "Okay, just promise you'll be along soon."

"Of course" Quinn said. "Good Luck beautiful"

"Be safe, love." Anje replied, kissing Quinn deeply before beaming away to the Elysium.

Quinn then turned and let her gaze wander. She would do some looking about.
