Her attention returned to her date and she smiled. My, he was a handsome man, she thought, gazing into his face and drinking it in. “Is it a super secret matter or are you able to discuss it with me?” Then shaking her head, she hastened to add with a mild hand flail, “Or, is it something you would rather not discuss… You are not obligated to spill every secret to me. I am painfully curious but I respect it if you say no.”

“It’s not a secret; the rest of the crew will find out soon,” he said non-chalantly, as he turned to face his way towards their destination. “The Captain has been selected for joining. It’s part of a special program for Dominion War veterans. They’re trying to preserve the memories for historical purposes.”

She didn’t notice that she had basically been moved to block his way to get to the holodeck by Johann turning back to the Captain to answer him.

He, however, did notice that. His occular implants looked her up and down. “Do you dance?” he asked.

– Johann Dvorak, CO

What a peculiar non-sequitur, she thought as she watched him visibily look her body up and down. It did not occur to her that she was blocking the way though it probably should have. She was still thinking about the news he had disclosed about the Captain being selected to Join with a Trill. Confused by his sudden question, she blinked and then nodded. “Any Betazoid worth their weight can dance Johann. Can you?”

Nox, CNS

He leaned towards her slowly, as though he was about to share some great revelation. “I took a class once,” he half-whispered.

She enjoyed the co-conspirator tone he took with her and had to grin. His revelation wasn’t much of one. She shook her head ruefully.

“But the reason I asked is because you handled that sudden spin rather gracefully. Though, I think it would be rude for me to do it again unless we had a compelling reason. Like, unless we were dancing. Or the Captain came by again. Or if there was a Red Alert or something.”

Nah, he thought in response to an unheard question. It’ll be more fun to see if she figures it out…

— Johann Dvorak, CO

For a second, she simply looked at him, wondering what he was meaning for she knew he had some other meaning rather than talking about dancing. Then the light bulb sparked and she looked around, taking in where she was in relation to him and their destination. “Ah, I see.” She wondered if she should move right away. He was close to her now and she could feel the sizzle in the air of attraction she felt for him. Yet they hadn’t even made it to their date, much less through it. Perhaps it was too early for those thoughts. So she smiled. “I appreciate the compliment.” She said as she turned, as gracefully as she had before and took his arm once more. Now out of the way, they could continue onto their destination.

Nox, CNS

That was… something… he thought satisfactorily.

He proceeded down the corridor with her at his side. “Anyway, he’ll probably be gone for a couple weeks due to the procedure,” continuing the conversation about the Captain. “That will leave me in command until then. The big secret meeting is for us to finalize all of those arrangements.”

Before them in the corridor, were the distinctive heavy duty double doors leading to their intended location. The label,on the door was clearly visible: “Holodeck 1”

“Shall we?”
