Eilah chuckled. “That delightful sense of humour is part of what got us here.”

Ben’s smile softened, as he held Eilah’s hand in his. “I’d like that as well,” he said, this time with a hint of seriousness in his voice. “I’ve really enjoyed this evening, even if you were unlucky with the peppers.”

Chief Medical Officer

“Meh,” said Eilah, voice high pitched for the sound, then back to normal, “Life’s an adventure. Sometimes we get unlucky and eat some hot peppers. Sometimes we get lucky and meet some hot new staff.”

~ Fayth, COS

Ben blushed, going almost the colour Eilah had gone when hearing the peppers.

“Well, they do say things come in threes,” he said. “The two peppers, and this lucky hot new member of staff, whoever they are.” He said, feigning ignorance.

Eilah grinned. “I heard they’re the new CMO. Cute guy, good sense of humour. All the best qualities.” He said, seeming to relish in making Ben blush.

~ Fayth, COS

Ben smiled, as he ruffled Eilah’s hair with his other hand. “Not as cute as the Chief of Security. He can handcuff me any day.” He said with a sly grin.

“Hmmm… I do have handcuffs.” Eilah commented with a similar grin.

Ben burst out with a giggle, once again feeling slightly giddy.

“It’s getting late,” he continued. “Shall I walk you back to your quarters?” he asked.

Lt. Hudson
Chief Medical Officer

“I would be delighted if you did,” Eilah replied, smiling. He put an arm around Ben and began heading out into the corridor.

~ Fayth, COS

Ben put his arm behind Eilah’s shoulders, pulling the two of them close as they walked down the corridor toward the turbolift. “Thanks for this evening,” he said softly, as they approached the lift, giving him a squeeze across the shoulders.

Lt. Hudson
Chief Medical Officer

Eilah smiled as they stepped into the lift. “Thank me by making sure it happens again.” He commented.

~ Fayth, COS

Ben grinned. “Well, I’m not sure…” he started, in a suitably mocking tone to make sure it didn’t come across as serious. “I mean, I could spend my evening reading crew medical evaluations,” he said with a grin, as the doors closed.

Lt. Hudson
Chief Medical Officer

“The key is to read mine. Got to know everything about me.” Eilah grinned and winked. “But I’ll give you a really great reason to spend time with me over my file.” And then, as the lift began to move, he leaned in and kissed Ben.

~ Fayth, COS

=/\=Cmdr Fayth, you have a priority message from…” Eilah could feel the momentary confusion, “Lt. Cmdr Fayth. Shall I put it through to your office?=/\=

Cmdr. Mal’athar, XO

Well, that was a swift end to a moment Eilah was hoping to extend. He broke away from Ben and smiled apologetically. =/\= No, put it through to me, personally, please. She’s my sister. =/\= Fayth said.
