There’s an entire audio drama about it that Ryan and Hurd did voice work for.
It is perfectly fine.
She dated and split up with Raffi between seasons one and two.

Really? I must have literally completely forgotten.
Didn’t Raffi tell Picard near the end of S1 that she loved him and he said it back? I thought that at that stage they were exploring a romance for them

I think that was a familial thing, not romantic.

Really? It certainly came across as romantic to me

As the Grand Nagus I would think it’s totally on brand for you to view all relationships as transactional

Literally “between”, it got kind of shoved into the last episode of season 01 and killed off again when season 02 started. They should have played it out more, let them develop a good relationship on screen, the way it was done just seemed so forced. Like the writers forgot they wanted to have some LGBTQ+ representation in the series up until the last episode of season 01.

If I’m remember correctly from Michael Chabon’s instagram AMAs, apparently the relationship was based entirely on the chemistry that Ryan and Hurd had when they attended events together, so it was very last minute that they added the tease of a budding relationship in that final scene.
But yeah, they could have done more to build it up.
