[ And lead on he did. Round the back where there was a perfectly scenic view of some mountains and forest in the distance rested a picnic. If not for the fact that he said it was real, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference at all. There was nothing overly fancy. A charcuterie board of snacks that wasn't on an actual board but in smaller containers.
Julian took a seat on the plaid blanket and began to pour them some Andorian ale, as promised. ]
I didn't want to assume. And you can call me, Leonard or Len.
[And his surprised shock grew as the boundlessness ability of the holosuite continued to impress as he took in the amazing view that appeared once he followed Julian behind the ranch house, joining him on the blanket.]
Wow, Julian this is amazing. We really need to talk Scotty into fitting something like this on the Enterprise.
Oh that he certainly does, but on a personal level...
[ He's pretty sure he only gets included on things because he's senior staff. And Sisko (as another southern man) can't stand the impoliteness of leaving someone out. ]

[ He nodded towards the little ranch house. ]
I've got synthehol and a little picnic around the back, if you like.

[He was in awe as he took in the impressive building, so far he couldn't fault the authenticity.]
Lead on, my good Doctor.

[ He asked in a teasing way as he handed the other a glass of the ale. ]
I don't know how you're surviving without them, honestly.
no subject
[Gratefully takes the glass, not only could he use the alcohol but he was on shore leave and he was going to enjoy it for once.]
This Enterprise is an older model than other starships out there, she currently doesn't have the technology to house anything like this.
[He takes a sip before continuing.]
Also if we did, I don't think we'd really have a need to stop at a deep space station for long any more. Which would be a shame.

But she's a piece of history! You've got to give her that at least.
[ Hearing about how it would mean less visits from McCoy did give his drink a pause. ]
Then maybe I should have Rom tell Scott how often they break down. Terribly annoying, you know. Absolutely awful.

I'm jealous, but I'll take whatever it is that gets a handsome man in my holosuite.
[ Is one drink of ale enough to get a kiss out of him? He certainly hopes so as he gets closer and closer. ]

[He hopes Julian doesn't think he's a tease as he moves back to take another sip of his ale, needing a little more Dutch courage.]

He also backs away to down some more of his ale. ]
I'm fairly certain Captain Sisko only tolerates my existence.
