Raal stood in the turbolift, the claw of his right pinky picking at his teeth. As the lift came to a stop he drew his hand away and quickly ran his tongue across his teeth where he’d been poking around. His appointment was with the Captain but there was someone else he was excited to see as well. He was pretty sure she didn’t know he was aboard either. The doors opened with a swish of air. As he stepped out of the turbolift he turned toward the Captain’s ready room and walked right behind the science station. Continuing to walk, he stared at Sheriye until she turned towards him, a natural reaction to having someone walk past you. When their eyes met he winked, and smiled puckishly before turning to look where he was going. He nodded to another officer as he passed and came to a stop outside the Captain’s office. He tapped the chime and waited to be welcomed in.
