With Sam and Al in a club, he thought it best to come clean with the two of them.

Silveira: I have to reveal something to you both…

Lyara: Secret wife…

Sam looked confused and Vitor opened his mount stunned and began shaking his head as he frowned.

Silveira: No… But I am not going to be much fun or flirty. I have someone… I mean I have feelings for someone on board so… I am sorry but I might be a little boring tonight.

Al nodded as Sam smiled.

S. Richards: ::Lightly punching his arm:: Go get ‘em tiger. I love this journey for you!

Lyara: Awwww, that’s so cute! You should ask her out.

The bartender arrived just in time with their order and Vitor immediately took his glass.
Apparently he succeeded in deflecting the attention from Sam, only to turn it on to himself.

Silveira: Look, it's complicated…

Al rolled her eyes and took another sip of her drink.

Lyara: It can’t be that complicated. Just ask her out!

Sam smirked before offering her own advice.

S. Richards: ::Turning to Sil:: Look, I get it. I too have recently found myself in a similar situation. Having feelings for someone and the situation being complicated. I can relate to that so much more than you can even understand.

Vitor smiled thankfully to both of them. He understood Al’s effort, and Sam’s understanding.

Silveira: I thank you both, but as I said, it’s not that easy. We are friends, good friends and..

He was about to say crewmates, but that would certainly reveal to Al that it was Jo. As things were he paused and just shrugged, leaving it at that.

Lyara: At least she’s a good friend. So even if things end up becoming too complicated you can keep it real with her. The best thing in any relationship is open communication!

S. Richards: ::Gesturing to Lyara:: The wild one is right. Communication is top tier when you want things to work out.

Considering how he failed at that after Frontier Day he nodded and had to agree.

Silveira: I know… And whatever will be will be…

Al smiled at them and leaned back against the bar.

Lyara: Besides, let’s have fun tonight! We don’t have to flirt or drink to have a good time. What matters is that we all have each other. ::Pointing to Sil and Sam:: How’s that sound?

Sam simply nodded and Vitor mimicked her, followed by his trademark wink.

Silveira: Sounds perfect to me.

Al turned and reached for her glass and something caught her attention.
Vitor didn’t understood what it was until she was talking to the bartender.

Lyara: Did you bring us the wrong drink?

The bartender laughed and pointed to the drink.

Bartender: I know. That “Red Headed Bajoran” was ordered by her.

The bartender pointed to the end of the bar at the Andorian who had waved at Lyara earlier.
Vitor noticed that Al started blushing.

Lyara: Aptly named drink.

The bartender laughed before moving on and Al turned back to them.

S. Richards: I think that one :: slightly gesturing to the Andorian:: has their eye on you.

Vitor nodded and winked at Al.

Silveira: Most definitely.

Lyara: I’m still allowed to flirt and drink right?

She gave them an awkward, almost embarrassed smile. Sam let out a laugh as Vitor tipped his head and grinned.

S. Richards: Of course! Get your freak on!

Silveira: Yes, just don’t get into trouble or arrested.

Lyara: Response

Sam moved over closer to Al and began to lightly push in the Andorians direction.

S. Richards: I’m your wingman tonight. I won’t stand by and not make you at least go dance.

Vitor tipped his head to Al and shrugged.

Silveira: That’s what she said.

Lyara: Response

Sam chuckled before turning back to Sil with a tired smile.

S. Richards: I’ll be honest Sil, this might be the end of the night for me. I am surprisingly tired after all of this excitement. If I head out, you’ll keep an eye on her right?

Vitor was getting more intrigued and curious. But he smiled and nodded to Sam.
It felt like a goodbye and he was sad to see her go. Maybe it was time for him to consider visiting the Delta quadrant one day.

Silveira: Yes my dear, no problem.

Lyara: Response

S. Richards: Thank you for letting us parade you around in that lovely Toga. I do hope I see more of it in the future. ::yawning:: On that note, I am going to go back to Ta- ::catching herself:: my guest quarters and get some sleep. Party on you wild animals.

oO Ta… There’s only… Nah… Oo

Vitor nodded and smiled, forcing those thoughts away. As he said his goodbyes.

Silveira: Thank you for making it and for your company. We have to do this again.

Lyara: Response

Sam moved on and Vitor winked at Al, tipping his head to the Andorian’s direction.

Silveira: Don’t mind me and have fun, I can tell from experience Andorian women are… Magnificent…

Lyara: Response

Vitor winked and leaned on the bar, taking a sip from his drink before replying.
He winked and gave Al a mischievous grin.

Silveira: My son is half Andorian… But that’s a story for another evening. Go on, I will stick around for a bit. If everything is cool just give me a sign and I head out and leave you at ease.

Lyara: Response
