    What We Live For, chapter 2

    ”Fight in the war?” Mariah asked more soberly.

    ”Oh, yes.” Kathryn admitted. ”I have a few tall tales I could share, believe me. I came through it in one piece though… I’m fully aware of how lucky that makes me, and of how far too many weren’t nearly so fortunate.”

    Mariah sighed. ”Isn’t that the truth.”

    Kathryn looked at her in a way meant to convey that she would listen, but that they could also let the subject drop if her new acquaintance would rather not talk about it.

    ”I told you I had a sister. At one time, I also had a brother.” Mariah said. ”And that’s all I want to say about it right now.” She told her, a certain sort of hollow darkness just evident behind her words that had Kathryn suspecting strongly that the woman across the table from her had told a boldfaced lie when she’d said she wasn’t a member of the Maquis.

    ”My condolences.” Kathryn told her simply, meaning it.

    Mariah nodded and looked out towards the street. ”So, how about it?” She asked after a long moment, turning back to meet Kathryn’s eyes. ”My offer’s still good – will you accept?”

    Kathryn smiled to her. ”In fact I will.” She replied.

    And so it was, a course of action set for the immediate future, the two women shared the rest of their meal together and then headed out into the evening, towards Mariah Hanley’s family home. As she walked beside the other woman, Kathryn found herself looking forward to meeting her new friend’s family. She’d only actually ever spent time with one other family where the couple in question were heterosexual, and they had been Vulcans.

    Oh, it was far from unheard of for men and women to couple in human society, and there were certainly no taboos against it, but the fact was that it just didn’t happen very often, comparatively. There weren’t any official statistics on the subject, and, she knew also, heterosexual couples did tend to congregate in certain regions and worlds more than others, so that cut down on the likelihood of encountering them more frequently as well, but she had heard some estimates putting the ratio at around two percent of the human race or so, with perhaps up to ten or fifteen percent being bisexual to one degree or another. There were no solid numbers on it though, the only data having been collected via small to mid-sized surveys run mostly by educational institutions for sociological purposes.
