The shuttle ride had been hard and long. Juliet had taken Captain Mackenzie from the space station to the Leviathan thinking she’s be back at the station a couple weeks later. She hadn’t planned on the XO announcing she’d been transferred back here.

That evening, finally settled back into her quarters, it occurs to her that Captain Mackenzie wasn’t given VIP quarters. A thought occurred to her and she changed into black leggings with a deep sapphire blue tunic that set of her eyes and pony tail of raven hair. After tapping in an order to the mess, she slipped into ankle height black velvet boots and headed out of her quarters.

• • A few hours after having docked, Jewels tapped on the Captain’s door on the Officer’s deck and tugged at the edge of her tunic. In her other arm was a container of food that included a bottle of wine.

Conrad was surprised at getting a visitor so soon after arriving at the Leviathan. He’d had time enough to shower and change out of his uniform and into some comfier clothes, which was barefoot with a pair of soft lounging pants and a tightly fitted shirt. He didn’t think the XO would swing by after showing him the way, and it was unlikely that the holographic doctor wouldn’t came by after being so clearly… irked by Conrad’s response, so who could it be? He moved to his door and pressed the keypad to open it and was surprised to see Juliet.

“Oh Jewels, what brings you by? I thought you might’ve gotten tired of me after a few days cramped in a shuttle.” Conrad smiled to let her know he wasn’t serious.

Barefoot in lounge wear… Now that was definitely a sight she hadn’t expected. Though it crossed her mind that he’s wore sweatpants on more than one occasion in the shuttle when they were relaxing. But the coolness if the environment meant he usually has a sweatshirt on, like herself, at those times.

Swiftly bringing her eyes up from his chest, she laughed. “And here I thought it was me that bored you. I actually came because I figured it wouldn’t cross your mind to pull rank and get pampered a bit for dinner tonight. Rations and minimal replicator abilities are enough to drive anyone batty on long shuttle trips. So I thought I’d offer to make dinner, if you haven’t eaten yet. Simple fair, chicken with veggies and lightly parmesaned pasta? And I’ve got wine but can get something stiffer if you want?” She held out the box in offering.

Conrad’s surprise increased as a grin tugged at his lips slightly. “That’s a very thoughtful and welcome consideration. The shuttle replicator was fine as things went but definitely fine dining. Oh but where are my manners? Please come in. Let me get some plates and such.” He beckoned for Jewels to enter as he turned to walk to the small kitchen area. He grabbed a couple of plates, silverware, and wine glasses before bringing them to the small dining table. As he was arranging things on the table he asked, “So how is settling back in to the Leviathan going? I was the under the impression that you wouldn’t be staying.”
