LTJG Na'lae Mandak - Catching up with the XO - (Deep Space 26)

[Brian OcQue]

((Recreation Deck 2, Some Time After the Ceremony, and a few drinks in, Deep Space 26))

:: The ceremony had been a grand one for a huge reason. Their CO had received his fourth pip. She was happy to see him getting some of the recognition he deserved. He was after all once of the best officers in the fleet, and had demonstrated to her why during her time with the Task Force. He always had the calm demeanor, even if she knew the situation called for him being more like a duck; feet going a mile a minute under the surface. She enjoyed watched the others get what they needed as well. She was serving aboard one of the best vessels in the fleet, with a crew compliment like no other. She was glad to be a part. With the pomp and circumstance gone for now at least, it was time for a drink or two. She had made her way over to the bar area of the recreation deck that had been set up for them, and had ordered her first glass of wine. ::

:: She spent most of that time by herself, mostly mulling over her father, among other things. The relative silence of the room around her compared to her head was broken though, and a familiar face crossed her path. ::

Thoran: Lieutenant Mandak, should have know I’d find you at the bar.

Mandak: Gah, it's not that bad is it? :: She winked :: Alright it is...

:: She got a grin from the XO. ::

Thoran: Stolen any more drinks lately?

Mandak: Stolen is a rather harsh word sir... He didn't try to refute it now did he?

:: She was of course referring to one of her first visits to the Nova Room, in which she had shown a small contingent of Andaris folk the old scoundrel ways of Na'Lae Mandak, captain of the SS Diligent. it won her a free drink from a man to whom she didn't know, who also didn't put up much of a fight. She took a gulp of her third glass of wine. ::

Thoran: [Tag]

Mandak: Perks of being a girl. :: She undid the collar of her coat, and the rest of the coat buttons, but left it on. :: I'm really glad you're the new XO... Congrats.
