Nash came to a stop outside the door to Fell-Draykes office, on duty so in the red of the Command Division, the Chief Tactical Officer hadn’t met with Relann for some time and had certainly had little to do with the XO outside of official matters and the Bridge. While it wasn’t exactly a first impression scenario Nash did check his cuffs and made sure everything was on straight, even running a hand through his hair and wondering, only for a very slight moment, if he should have shaved a little closer to the skin to remove more of the tidy stubble that gave him his normal roguish appearance.

Deciding that he was exactly as he should be, the broad shouldered man rang the chime to Relann’s office, minutes earlier than the time assigned to the meeting. As an afterthought he made sure the flip lighter and cigar were tucked deeper into his tunic pockets for later, although the coin did reappear in his fingers and deftly move between them as he waited for the door to open.
