Yes, Ensign Laren, please sit down -
Ensign Ro, sir.
(nonplussed) I beg your pardon?
The Bajoran custom has the family name first, the individual's name second. I am properly addressed as 'Ensign Ro'.
I'm sorry, I didn't know.
(shrugging) No, there's no reason you should. It's an old custom; most Bajora these days accept the distortion of their names in order to assimilate. (brief pause before she sits) I do not.
