Lieutenant JG Kaito Moore - Awkies In the Parkies

[Lieutenant j.g. Kaito Moore]

((Sub Tropical Biome, Peace Park, Amity Outpost))

Moore: Afternoon. How’s the water today?

Nevark: ::Turning abruptly:: Oh hello. The water is lovely. What brings you here? Looking for some space from everything? 

Moore: I’m just on patrol, and you’re a new face, so I figured I would stop on by and say hello.

She was no doubt processed by another member of the Security staff, but he knew she was the new counselor and was assigned to the Uwezo mission. Maybe some might find it weird that Kaito tried to keep track of everyone new to Amity, but he saw it as operational security. Besides, in his mind, the more he knew about who came and went, the safer everyone was.

Nevark: Lieutenant Layla Nevark, pleasure to meet you. 

Moore: Pleasure to meet you. Lieutenant Kaito Moore. You’re the new counselor, and you were on the Uwezo mission. How are you liking everything so far?

Nevark: Oh, it's nice.  I mean, the people I have met so far have been nice but it’s been a lot of work and little balance on those interactions so far.  But that's probably my own fault. 

Moore: Oh, I doubt it. We’re a busy station, and you just got here. Why would you think it’s your own fault?

Layla chuckled slightly.  

Nevark: My own fault because I have been focused on getting my space set up right and then the Uwezo Mission and then a few appointments. I just need to make sure I make the time to have friends here. What about you? I assume you have friends here? 

Kaito raised an eyebrow.

oO What an odd question to ask. Then again, she is a counselor, so is she… analyzing me? Oh, Great Bird. Do I come across as a friendless kind of person? Some kind of lonely person who approached her in desperation? What if she thinks it is worse? Panic. Panic… PANIC!!!!! Oo

Moore: Yeah, of course. ::He chuckled a little:: At least I hope they are my friends. Granted, if I wanted to dive into my fears and anxiety of friendship, I might need to book an appointment… and I feel like it would be a fairly boring appointment. I’ve got much more interesting psychological worries.

He gave her a wink, and then chuckled.

Moore: But I do, and I’m sure you’ll find it will be easy to get them too.

Nevark: Sorry it’s just very different here from what I have done before. It’s taking some adjusting, including apparently how I speak to people.  Can I start again? ::taking a breath:: Hi I am Layla the new counselor,  it's lovely to meet you. 

Moore: Hello, Layla, I’m Kaito, and it is pleasant to meet you too.

Nevark: Response

Moore: I’m currently on lunch break, and I was going to head over to the Blue Gums to grill up some food. You did say you needed to find time to have friends. Are you busy right now?

Nevark: Response

Moore: Friendship has to start somewhere—how about over grilled vegetables and replicated wagyu?

Nevark: Response
