Surra stood to follow the others out but paused at the request of the Commander. She nervously blinked her eyes a couple of times then simply said with a quick nod, “Yes. Of course, Commander.”, as she sat back down. She quietly watched as everyone exited the room. After they were all gone she turned her her eyes to Dira then waited to learn the reason she’d been asked to stay behind.

Myqian tapped her fingers on her thigh for a moment before taking a seat next to Surra. “Okay, so I get it, you two don’t like each other and that’s not going to change overnight. But going at it in front of an Admiral? Seriously? What the hell was that? And don’t think I won’t be having this same conversation with Kane, because I will.”

Surra sat there and clenched her fists. She held in a flurry of emotions as the Commander scolded her. In that moment, she felt that she was being reprimanded for a situation that wasn’t her fault. Was she not allowed to defend herself against subliminal insults? If anything she felt that the Lieutenant Commander should have been approached before she was, he started it, but then she knew, in that moment, she was probably the easier target because of the friendship the Commander and the Lieutenant Commander shared. She sat there, listened and didn’t say a word. She had nothing to say because nothing she said would matter anyway. She couldn’t take back the words that were said in the meeting and she didn’t feel like she was wrong for saying what she said.

Raising her brows, which furrowed against the bulges on her forehead, Dira gazed at Surra expectantly, all too aware of the emotions the other woman was exuding. She wasn’t in any hurry for a response and she could sit here just as long at Surra could.

Her dark eyes just focused on Surra, questioning, curious.
