Rihannsu starships ran colder than their Klingon or Federation counterparts. Starfleet vessels aimed, in all things, for a kind of pleasant neutrality. Their climate controls were mild; not too cool for their short sleeves and light fabric, not too warm for long pants and multi-layered uniforms. KDF ships historically placed far more engineering emphasis on weapons than anything else; their environmental systems were perpetually fighting a doomed but honorable battle against tight quarters, naturally high Klingon body temperatures, and thick leather armor. No such issue on the Ecurai. The warbirds of the Republic were kept cool—not cold, but not quite warm. You wouldn’t get a chill in shirtsleeves, but you’d certainly be more comfortable if you put on a light coat. Which meant that Satra Valel registered the absence of a warm body in her bunk almost before she was fully awake.

No real context or prior knowledge needed for this piece--this is just a sweet, tender ficlet about a pair of incredibly married Romulans that I think y'all will appreciate.
