Tilting her head slightly, Cassidy couldn’t help but smirk. She gestured to one of the two chairs at the desk. “Have a seat, Ensign, and feel free to elaborate on what my file left out.” Her curiosity had been piqued, but the amusement had been inevitable. Abrams was the kind of person people easily underestimated. She was slight in build, if not height, and she wore her confidence easily. She was social and easy going, the kind of person her friends always would have said couldn’t hurt a fly. And then they’d step onto the phaser range for their quals, or onto the mat for hand-to-hand combat, and it was clear that Cassidy moved with a fluid ease informed by a sharp mind.

She had grown accustomed to the current team, but the COS had to admit that it was going to be nice to have some new folks around. So far she hadn’t really had to incorporate many new people into the team, so it was going to be, not necessarily a challenge, but a different aspect to her role than she had had before.

Trenton took her time moving closer to the COS, taking in more of her form and curve before taking a very controlled seat. More thoughts were clearly racing through her mind, probably making this more awkward for her than it needed to be. “It…uh…So I have a holodeck program I brought with me from the Challenger called Trenton Park. It’s themed for a minimalist cyberpunk setting, so lots of vibrant colors on very muted and purposeful structures. Anyway, the park itself is designed to be a haven for parkour.” Trenton let that hang for a moment as she tried to sort out more thoughts that she knew would get her into trouble. “I used to teach a class in my downtime and I’d love for you to come. I, uh, think you would enjoy it.” Ashlyn held her breath without intending to, waiting to see how this COS would respond to the offer of parkour.

Abrams was well aware she was being studied. Well, and so. She couldn’t fault a fellow security officer from wanting to size up other people. And she was the boss here, so a good person to size up. “Cool,” Cass said with a nod and bright smile. “Never done parkour myself, but I know the gist of it. Sounds like a fun way to train.”

“And I was serious,” Cass said, her eyes alit with amusement. “Have a seat. Unless you prefer chatting standing up. But sitting might help with that whole feeling awkward thing. Just sayin’,” she joked with a half shrug.
