He chuckled not one to let go of her hand, though he was heavily conscious that they were and that she seemed content on holding his too. “I would like to come back with you to, you make a very good Anne Bonny” Olly gave her a wry smile he couldn’t think of anything better than spending more time with her, more than he is already doing and he could already hear Sharah goading him from her own little home in space. “So next week?” He said after having realised that neither of them spoke for a while.

“You make a dashing Jack, but really, Oliver, you have to tell me where did you learn to fight like that?” She asked without thinking, because she kept seeing him move across the ship, and well as far as she was concerned, Oliver was Hot. Runa smiled, she had no problem holding onto his hand. Runa lived in the moment and she enjoyed something, she did it, and wasn’t really worried about everyone else. It’s why she never joined Star Fleet, though someone being in Star Fleet was not a problem for her. She was too much of a romantic. She couldn’t possibly fathom not being with someone simply because of ‘regulations.’ “Next week?” she gasped and fluttered her hand at her throat. “Surely you don’t mean that long?” She winked at him. “Next week sounds lovely. And since you, Oliver, will be in my classroom before then, to help all those soon to be aspiring botanists discover those amazing plants you brought us, I’ll see you sooner than a week.” Sometimes, Runa said things she thought a little too much.

“Well, looks like its a date or maybe two I’m not keeping count I promise,” Ok so maybe he needed some flirting guidance from Sharah because that was positively lame. “I just, years of Drama practice when I was a child, my parents thought it would help me by inspiring my creative mind little did they know it would turn me into a musical Botanist” He laughed bringing up her hand that they were STILL holding together and twirled her around like when taking the lead in Latin ball from dancing. He hadn’t thought too much ahead but if she followed through she would be within very close proximity. All hands brace for impact he thought childishly.

Runa followed the lead smoothly, as she came back around to face him, her eyes were lit up, “You dance.” Her face was flushed in a slow rising blush as she finished the twirl, her other arm coming up to rest across the back of Oliver’s shoulders. Her hand gripped his a little tighter as she stepped close into Oliver. She whispered, “you can count as much as you like, as long as their is no cap.” Runa was not an expert dancer, but she was decent, and she loved to dance considering it a lost art form.

Runas close proximity, her arm around his shoulders was not lost on him as he looked down into her eyes,their noses were almost touching. “I know how to dance, I’m not actually that good at it” He said his Adams apple moving up and down suggesting he had taken a large gulp as if trying to swallow the moment they were sharing. “No cap” He agreed with a slight mod which meant their noses pressed against one another.

Runa stood there, half holding her breath, her nose touching his. She smiled softly, wondering if he was gong to start dancing or something else.

“GO ON JACK! KISS HER!” And then several cat calls and encouragement from the crew.

Olly was stunned, he didn’t really hear the words of encouragement. Could he really kiss her? They had spent a lovely evening together but to kiss. He wasn’t sure, he closed his eyes.

Runa’s face got hot and her cheeks flushed, but she kept looking at Oliver. They’d forgotten to pause the program. “What now, Jack?” she asked smiling.

“Forgive me Runa” He said softly opening his eyes again, “Call me a little old fashioned or a useless romantic but I want to wait. If that’s OK? Work relationships, on ships they’re… Difficult” He finally let go and stepped back. “Computer end program.” he felt terrible, maybe he should have kissed her but… But nothing, what was stopping him? Sharah would kill him.

• En. Loughty, Science

Her face looked as relieved as he felt. Before he stepped back she whispered, “Oh thank Siff. I don’t do well with an audience.” She stepped back the same time he did and looked anywhere but at him. She glanced over at him after a moment and grinned a little, “Well, it’s a good thing I’m civilian and not Star Fleet.” Did that matter to him? Revna was never going to let her live this down. She’d just have to make sure not to tell her twin about this.

Runa Edman

“Of course you’re not Starfleet l, my mistake” He chuckled feeling relaxed again and not the anxiety he felt from her closeness. “I really did enjoy, spending time with you Runa, I look forward to next time.” He genuinely meant it too, Sharah was going to have a field day with him.

• Ens. Olly Loughty

Runa smiled, “I enjoyed it a lot. I haven’t had this much fun in a long time. When we finish this program we’ll have to try a Viking long ship.” Now THAT she could sail like no one’s business. She looked around the black and gold grid and found her shoes and coat lying on the floor where she had kicked them off. Which reminded her that she should be dripping wet, but wasn’t. She supposed it was because the water was holographic and not real? She didn’t know. “Well at least I don’t need a towel.” She stepped back into her shoes and picked up the coat. Thinking back to their conversation at the school the previous day, “I think I will join the karaoke, but you have to promise not to laugh at me.” She made her way over to the door and waited for him.

Runa Edman

“Oh, I can’t promise anything!” He said having replicated himself a towel using the holodeck features and began drying himself off. ” He was rubbing his head, and from under the towel, the science officer spoke again. “But I will be there to listen, you may even be lucky and Ill get up and sing though I dont know what to sing! I take requests” he teased.

• Olly Loughty

Runa grinned. She was pretty laid back, but had a slightly wicked side, “Requests? Oh now Oliver, you really should not have told me that.” She laughed. When his face came out from under the towel she winked at him. She knew exactly what she was going to sing, and she was going to get her sister to help. “Ever heard the ballad, The Highwayman?” A ballad about a ‘land’ pirate, was exactly what she was to use. She was going to have to get a dark red ribbon between now and then.

Every moment the woman became a little cuter, funnier, and beautiful. Holding the towel in his hands he balled it up. “I can’t say I have.” She explained feeling a little less important not knowing something she clearly liked, he’d have to look it up at some point. “Is that what you’re going to sing?” He questioned, maybe he shouldn’t look it up until after he had heard Runa sing it the young science officer had thought.

Runa grinned, “The highwayman in the song is really just a land pirate, and he’s chased by Redcoats.” Runa nodded, “Probably. It’s all very exciting, but it has a sad ending though.” Runa hesitated by the door. She was having a very good time. Oliver was smart and funny, and incredibly easy to talk to. The more she talked to him, the more she wanted to know about him. She liked he was old fashioned enough to not kiss her.
