Jessica’s keen eyes caught just the twitches of the smile on Va’rek’s lips as she spun toward the door. A self-satisfied smirk crossed her features as she murmured the word ‘success’ to herself. She angled her head to the side slightly to glance at him as he fell into step beside her, thankful that she vaguely knew the correct direction they should be heading. The silence seemed easy and so she was momentarily surprised as his voice broke their journey. As she processed his words, her face lit up brighter than he’d seen thus far as she laughed heartily, raising one balled fist to not-so-gently punch him in the upper arm nearest her. “That’s the next level option,” she retorted, her amusement dancing through her words.

Upon being punched, Va’rek gave her what could only be a deftly and quite purposely overwrought caricature of the raising of the Vulcan brow in severe admonishment and surprise. He rubbed the shoulder gingerly. “You humans always speak of how you left violence far behind you, culturally speaking… I must say I see no evidence of that.” He said, just primly enough to cause himself to almost grin at the jest.

Jessica tried desperately to keep a neutral expression when faced with Va’rek’s admonishing stare, but she couldn’t contain herself and nearly doubled over laughing. “You haven’t seen anything yet,” she responded with a delighted smirk as she paused outside the lounge’s doors. One hand found its way to her hip and she jutted it out slightly in a playful stance. “You ready?” Her tone was light, but her eyes grew slightly serious as she searched the Vulcan’s face, finally resting her gaze directly into his eyes. She wanted to make sure that he ate and had some social time, but she didn’t want to push too hard. A balance.
