(This is an opportunity for me to make some new CR as well as catch up with ongoing relationships, but I also want to encourage tagging around between characters! Feel free to do whatever you like in the setting with whoever you like! Also I will be backtagging this so don't feel you've missed the boat if you haven't tagged in immediately <3)

Timaeus certainly knew how to organise a gathering- even if it wasn't an outrageously opulent celebration to be held on one of his own yachts. This one was to be held under the expansive dome of the Tropical Habitat- the entire location rented out for the day to Timaeus and his guests, a loosely private affair- formal invitations as such hadn't been extended, but those welcome knew they were. Naturally, all tributes and victors were included in this group.

The Dome was a beautiful piece of architecture in itself, though antiquated when compared with the technology used for the Arenas. Rather than invisible forcefields, the climate of the interior was separated from the outside by elaborately curving steel and glass. Inside, tropical plants of all types thrived- there was a still, green pond and, deeper inside, a cascading waterfall. Butterflies in hundreds of colours, sizes and shapes flitted about, tropical birds swooped between the trees, brightly coloured fish darted in the water.
Blankets and cushions had been scattered in the main clearing with hampers of food, but there was plenty of space for the guests to break away from the gathering if they so desired- the dome was full of winding paths through the greenery- some even climbing around the trunks of the largest trees and leading to viewing platforms above. In a temporary gazebo in the clearing, a string quartet played music that wasn't quite the classical pieces Tributes were familiar with. 

Timaeus himself seemed in a brighter mood than he had been for months, more than happy to make conversation with anyone who approached him- though he was certainly keeping an eye open for particular individuals. Some that he'd met, some that he'd lost and had returned to him, and others still that he had yet to meet.

"There is that." Though they had to die in the first place to celebrate that, which Julian really hadn't appreciated.

"I'm Doctor Julian Bashir, by the way--you are?"

(Someone who didn't approach him already knowing his name, or drawing attention to the way he looked like Timaeus--he appreciated that, at least.)

Having only seen Timaeus on screen, Ian only really notice a vague resemblance and it hadn't occurred to him to comment on it.

"Ian Chesterton." He smiled and offered a hand to shake. "What are you a doctor of?"

Julian reaches back, shaking the offered hand with a pleasant smile and nod. "A pleasure."

Fantastic, a subject that wasn't terribly uncomfortable. He'd take that, happily. "Medicine--my specialty is surgery, though as Chief Medical Officer I do have to do a bit of everything."

"Really?" Ian raised an eyebrow, impressed. "That sort of thing will come in handy here, then."

"I'd rather it not be necessary, but--well, it is my duty to do what I can." He smiles easily--falsely, but easily--and continues on.

"And what is it that you do, Mister Chesterton?"

He nodded. "I was a science teacher at home. Not so much call for that here." He smiled, but a little wistfully. "The knowledge I have is useful, but it was passing it onto others and inspiring them that I enjoyed."

"Well, you could still. There is a man about here somewhere who I'm sure would love to speak with you about science. I could explain medical science til I'm blue in the face, and of course I took science classes in school, but I'm no teacher."

Guy, he thinks, would enjoy the education. And it would give him someone else to talk to about the subject.

"I'd like that." He smiled, enthusiastic about the idea. "I'd love to speak to him about science." It would make a nice change from other people he'd met here and other topics he'd chatted about.
