Mel chuckled, but she wasn’t laugh at Willow. It was more akin to an understanding ‘I’ve been there’ kind of laugh. She reached out and squeezed the captain’s shoulder. “Nah, I doubt it. I know on a ship this small that gossip can travel at warp, but these things often fade. Still, it paints a very vivid image.”

She leaned forward and grinned conspiratorially. “Just think. Maybe there will come a day you’ll have something even more interesting happen for people to talk about. Just be grateful it’s not you having your ship destroyed or you ended up being shot on the holodeck by a program character who thought you were a Changeling spy,” Reez said with a knowing grin.

“It gets better, I promise. This awkward phase of being the new CO will end and you’ll figure out how you fit into it all. I just can’t promise nothing embarrassing won’t happen again.”

Willow shook her head. “Milkybar captain.” She muttered and then laughed at herself. “And Cai was no help. He stood watching that mess…urgh.”

Mel couldn’t help but chuckle. “Yes, I can see him being sort of stunned. You can train reaction time in someone, which is good because sometimes natural reactions just fail you. But enough of that. It’s too early to drink, but nothing says we can’t have more coffee or tea. What’ll you have?”

Willow looked at her. “No. He reacted alright! He laughed and told me to tell engineering to bring a straw!” She shook her head and looked at her empty cup. “Better switch to tea.” She said sadly.

“Is it better?” Mel asked with an exaggerated motion of her auburn brows. “I mean, I’m not sure about that, but I personally have lived off of caffeinated beverages, in particular raktajino, for many years now, but since I’m not a doctor, I can testify to the merits or concerns that might exist.”
