It had been a hectic week. She had dealt with wayward, accident prone crewmen… butted heads with Kane, and subsequently had a working dinner with him… and she had formally spoken to and met Mwezi, the Captain’s self proclaimed body guard.

Now they were heading to some planet that had little to no tech and her away outfit was something she wasn’t happy with.

She showed up at the Captain’s door just before second shift was over. She was in a matching set of green tonight that framed her pale skin and auburn hair. The bottoms were a deep jewel emerald green with gold vine stitches chasing up her left leg. The design continued up the left side of her matching top and its respective sleeve. Her hair was pulled back into a loose hunter’s knot. A pair of deep crimson chop sticks were holding it in place. And in her hand was a fresh bottle of whiskey she had managed to procure on their last stopover. She had been saving it. But since she had had so much the last time she was there, it was only fair to replace it.

Her black ankle boots made no noise on the deck as she came up on the Captain’s suite and palmed the chime.

Chris was wearing a black polo shirt that was a little tight around his arms. He wore tight light tan kakis that he forgot made himself noticeable in certain situations but liked they way they felt so forgot. He opened the door and smiled. This time he didn’t look around. “Hello dear. Welcome. I have a treat for you tonight! Please come in and make yourself comfortable. I am almost done cooking.” The quarters smelled really good with the smell of meat and pastries being cooked.

Chris

She smiled and held up the bottle of whiskey. “I come bearing a replacement. I seemed to have helped deplete a bottle earlier this week if I recall.” She laughed and set it on the table. “Smells amazing.” She moved closer trying to see what he was making.

Bridie

‘Ohh! Thank you! and thank you for the compliment. I am making meatloaf, mashed potatoes with gravy and creamed corn and a pumpkin pie for dessert.” He looked her up and down. “And if I may be as so bold to say Bridie. You look even more beautiful every time I see you.” He then went over to the oven and turned it off and took out the meatloaf and put it on the heating tray in the center aisle. Then he stirred the mashed potatoes and cream corn and turned them off. Reaching up he opened the cabinet and took out two large plates and made one up for the both of them and brought it over to the table and sat them down. “Here you go my lady.”

Chris

She blushed at his compliment. “Thank you. I like your look tonight as well,” she smiled and took the offered plate. “One of my favorite. You sure you aren’t peaking at my replicator logs?” She laughed and moved to sit on the couch, her leg tucked under her, boots kicked off by the door as she had come in. “So what movie are we watching tonight?” She took a mouthful and smiled. “It’s really good. Nice job.” She took another bite and smiled.

Bridie

“You are most welcome Bridie. I have my moments.” He smiled and chuckled. “The movie we are going to watch is my all time favorite movie! Big Trouble in Little China! And you will be pleased to know that it is actually a comedy and not a horror movie. But we will eat first and chat before the movie if that is ok with you?” He stared at her feet and wanted to rub them then looked back at her. “So. How was your day?”

Chris

She laughed. “A comedy would be nice.” As he asked about her day, she shrugged. “Ok I guess. Got that last console in Engineering to work all day without a glitch. Think we finally have it fixed. And I worked on the plasma glove after work for a bit. I think I should have something to actually test by end of next week.” It didn’t occur to her that she hadn’t mentioned the glove to him prior to this.

Taking a bite of her potatoes, she nodded to him. “How about you? Good day on the bridge, Captain?” She smiled and gave a short laugh.
