At his loud “no” Ria looked at him rather startled, almost like a deer in headlight. Yet by the time Achilleas had finished talking, her face had returned her normal, less frightened expression. “Oh, okay. Thank you, Sir,” she replied meekly. “Not really … or rather … I’m not sure if you can answer the few questions I have as they concern the Ogawa,” she added after a pause. Insecurity still written plainly all over her.

“Oh please, ask me whatever you want. If I don’t know it I can definitely help you find out.” Achilleas responded enthusiastically.

Taking a deep breath, Riani asked, “I’m just wondering how long it will be till the Ogawa is repaired?” She also thought of asking what had happened to the ship in the first place, but decided that - at least for the time being - she really didn’t want to know.

Achilleas shook his head with a sad smile, “I don’t know honestly, though the Captain says we’ve been assured priority on repairs as quickly as possible.”

“Okay,” Riani said simply and nodded. She hadn’t really expected anything else, yet some certainty would have been nice of course. She just hoped that there would be work for her to do nevertheless. Something to keep her feeling of homesickness at bay.

OOC: Thanks Silke. :)

“What’s wrong?” Achilleas inquired. He thought he had seen a forlorn look in the other’s eyes. He hoped it wasn’t something he said.

Riani knew that most people found her ridiculously easy to read. That wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, but sometimes she really wished that wasn’t the case. Like right now for instant. Part of her wanted to say it was nothing, but she had a strong feeling her new boss would not believe her. Not to mention that telling the truth was generally the best way forward. But where was the line between enough and too much sharing? Her mind started spinning and she noticed her anxiety peaking a bit. Placing one hand on her stomach, she inhaled deeply and then exhaled slowly. Glancing up, she replied softly, “I’m a little homesick, to be honest. That will pass, though. It always does.” She smiled some as she glanced up at Achilleas, trying to look as confident as she could muster. “I promise it won’t impact my performance,” she added quickly.
