"But of course, I assume you do not mean activities of which the Terran Alliance would not approve. The Krotazi Ambassador would never participate in, or acquire knowledge of, such activities. Yes?

Xotll fixed a quick drink, something that wasn't too complex but which compensated by being more expensive than average and glowing. People always paid more for drinks that could glow, and glowing was always more impressive than things that took actual effort on her part. Most of the drink was blue, but the pink glow at the bottom of the tall glass made the middle of it turn purple. It was called a Relmal Sunrise, and the sight of it always seemed to amuse Kari unduly. She slid it carefully along the counter, holding the glass with both hands until she was sure it was safe.
