Was she alright? No, but at the same time, she would be. It would pass. “I’m having an… off morning. I’ll be fine. But I just need to”-she paused and took a deep breath-“get off this deck. I didn’t mean to come here.” Dira managed to at least keep a steady voice and was forcing herself to be more in control. At least running quite literally into Maria had jolted her brain into a different state and that was actually a good thing.

Maria’s head tilt only increased. “Got off of the deck? What… ” Maria looked confused for a moment as many things whirred through her brain. She had read reports and heard scuttlebutt amonst the other officers, she knew something had went down, the reports she had gotten had some information in them redacted, mostly the names of those involved. She didnt really know what happened. “Oh....” A proverbial lightbulb seemed to go off in her head as she paused again starting to put the pecies together. “Was that…” She paused again knowing that if the information was redacted it was done to protect the personnel involved. “Best not…” she nodded, knowing that if it had traumatized the woman, she wouldnt be able to help, she wasnt a psychiatrist after all. Maria stepped to the side. “Yes, Captain.”

She managed to push her embarrassment down, strong though it was. After all, she was the damned captain and she couldn’t even be on a deck on her own ship. How ridiculous was that? Myqian swallowed. “Were you headed somewhere in particular?” she said, almost forcing herself to stay rooted in this place, to calm the flight reaction that had engulfed her body.

Maria straightened her head before she shook it slightly. “No ma’am. I had a day off, and was just wandering about the ship. Though I saw some damage that were given to me in some reports… so I had come here subconsciously I believe.” She explained with a nod. “I cant help myself it seems.” She gave the captain a soft smile. “What about you ma’am?”

“Just doing my usual rounds,” Myqian said, breathing more easily. “Why don’t we wander together?” It was a win-win for for both of them as far as she was concerned. She could get off the deck and Maria got to see more of the ship. She was already minded to go to her ‘spot’. so it seemed natural to start there.
