Posted by Commander Dira Myqian (Executive Officer) in Haven’s Quarters- More to Celebrate
Slipping out of the promotions party, Dira couldn’t help but smile deeply at Zoi, exuding deep affection for the woman. “I have to stop by my quarters but I won’t be long. I am thinking I might change out of this uniform too. Meet you at your place? You don’t want to see mine, it’s worse than it was the other day,” she said with a throaty chuckle. She was only mildly embarrassed by her messiness these days, mostly because she was sure there was some rule that XO’s should be more organized than that. But she had been honest with Kane when she said that everything else in her life had always been so highly controlled, disciplined, that her quarters became the one space where she didn’t have to be. Now that she had a romantic partner in her life though, she had been trying to at least contain the mess at least a little bit.

Zoi grinned and shook her head ruefully. Dira’s level of messiness was significantly more than her own, but it was more untidiness than true dirtiness and it didn’t bother her overmuch. As a rule, Zoi picked up and put away things every few days because as the Chief of Security, she was used to knowing where everything was and making sure it was where it was supposed to be. It translated well into her every day life and off duty life. She had not cleaned at Dira’s place, feeling it was not really her place to do so yet. They were still in the early months of a relationship, and Zoi was careful not to impose herself and her more strict cleaning onto Dira. “I think changing is a good idea. I don’t mind our dress uniforms like some people do, but I cannot imagine they are very sexy.”

She squeezed Dira’s hand and left her almost reluctantly. Their first outing as a couple had gone very well. No one seemed aghast at the two of them. She smiled and hummed as she boarded a turbolift and made her way to her quarters. They were a little smaller than the XO quarters. Though Zoi was tidy by nature or long time practice… it was hard to tell at this point… there was warmth here. Plants were everywhere, filling the room with an almost tropical feel. Blankets were folded and laid in strategic places, making sitting areas look more cozy. She lit a few of the decorative candles and set the lighting to a romantic mood before heading to her bedroom space to change into something more comfortable.

She quickly hung her uniform and pulled out a black mock neck sleeveless jersey top and a black floor length jersey skirt. The fabric was comfortable but the cut of the top and skirt made it a little more nice than casual. She put on a pair of simple small gold hoops in her ears and a gold lariat chain necklace with a matching round hoop at the tail. It swung gently around her navel as she moved through the bedroom. Zoi took her hair down and let the blonde waves bounce over her shoulders and down her back.

The last thing she did was prepare drinks and set them on the coffee table in her living room area. Feeling thus prepared, she sat and waited, wondering what Dira was up to.
