(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.

"Understandable, I'd rather not share a title with my father sometimes, either." His relationship with Richard was mending, but there were still years of hurt there to overcome.

"That does sound fascinating, I would very much enjoy seeing her." Julian smiles, continuing on as if he was completely comfortable with the situation. "I can't say I've been on many sea-faring ships. Only a few times, when I was younger--my mother's family is from the Mediterranean Coast area, my grandparents lived in Fethiye, in Turkey, for years. They'd take us out on their sailboat for the afternoon when we visited."

Julian, on the other hand, is quite concerned--perhaps not quite the right word--about the commonalities he's recognizing, how much this man is like him. Wanting to be a trailblazer, to be where the adventure was in their chosen profession? That was one of the reasons Julian had chosen Deep Space 9 as his posting.

"I'd be happy to. It has been a rather long time--I've not been back to Earth except for official business for years. Doesn't leave a lot of time for sailing."
