Disclaimer: None of this is mine, bla bla bla, yada yada yada. I've
read more than enough of these today to be bothered to write a
coherent one. Paramount owns everything. I think that was about it?
Alright, on to the actual story!

This is just a short busted vignette. J/C are having a relationship,
but they don't want to tell the crew just yet. After having read over
32 J/C fics in the past few hours, although it could be closer to 50,
and it being after midnight, I'm no longer responsible for this fic. I
just had to write a J/C fic too after having such an overload of them.
So, I apologise in advance for the lack of plot, but this is just
sillyness.

"It was a pleasure to meet you. I'm sure our cook will be very happy
with these vegetables." Captain Kathryn Janeway said to the ambassador
of the Orceadian people. 'And the crew will be even happier to have
something other than leola root to eat.' she silently added in her
mind.

"What is this leola root?" The ambassador asked. Kathryn had
momentarily forgotten that the Orceadians were telepaths. "Oh I see."
The woman who had so kindly given them the food they requested looked
at B'Elanna and smiled briefly. "We are glad that our gift is so
greatly appreciated."

"Everything is better than leola root." B'Elanna murmured, which
earned her another small smile from the ambassador and a silencing
glare from the captain. Feeling that a change of subject was required,
Chakotay jumped in.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Ambassador. But we really should
beam back to Voyager now."

"Ah yes, I sense that your mate is anxious to get back to your ship
and finish what you were doing before Lieutenant Tuvok interrupted
you, Captain." Chakotay and Kathryn exchanged fearful looks, Tuvok
merely lifted an eyebrow in a typical Vulcan fashion, and B'Elanna
looked shocked.

"Her mate?" she exclaimed as soon as she found her voice again.

"The Commander," The Ambassador stated inexpressive. Seeing the
stunned expression on the Chief Engineer's face and sensing the alarm
for having their secret exposed to the Command Team, she hurriedly
apologised for exposing their relationship. Chakotay, recovered from
the shock quicker than Janeway, stated that it was okay and that they
really should be going. Exchanging a few last pleasantries, the four
senior officers turned around and headed for the transport room.

"So Captain, what did Tuvok interrupt?" B'Elanna, finally over the
shock, couldn't help but ask Kathryn once they were halfway to the
transport room. Janeway didn't answer, she had no intention to tell
the half-Klingon about that...
