He smiled, nodding as he took his place at her side. That was one of the worst moments of the last mission.
Almost as bad as their capture on the moonbase.

But they managed to get out mostly unharmed.

Silveira: Well, you haven't. That's also why I wanted to check on you.

Richards: Well, where would you like to go? I am good with wherever as long as there's food. That is my only requirement.

She gave him a cheeky smile.

Vitor nodded and tipped his head. The Elysium would be a good place.
And he could set something healthy for Sam.

Silveira: Let’s go to the Elysium. They have some very comfortable sofas.

Richards: I am all about comfort these days!

He winked and gestured to the corridor.

Silveira: Also they have a few of my recipes in their replicator. I am certain we can find something healthy, tasty and fulfilling.

Richards: Healthy is boring, but as long as it is tasty I will give it a shot. Worst case scenario I get a burger and call it a day.

He smiled, opening his arms as they walked to the turbolift.

Silveira: At your service Ma'am. Or in this case Momma. ::he arched an inquisitive eyebrow.:: How are you doing? It wasn't an easy mission.

Richards: I’m doing good, all things considered. The kiddos are okay and we all made it out relatively unscathed.

They kept walking and Vitor nodded. It had been a concern in his mind when they were on the mission, but it wasn’t an impediment and Sam had managed to stay and help.

Silveira: That’s good to hear.

Sam picked up her pace as he was walking at his normal rhythm.
He made a mental note to slow down.

Richards: How have you been since the mission?

He looked away for a moment. It was always hard when you had to escape and nearly got blown up. Both on the Moonbase and in their last confrontation.

Silveira: Better now that we got away from it… I…

He wasn’t sure how the future of Galaris IV would turn out, even if that future now looked brighter.

Silveira: I have seen worse…

And that was one of his usual defenses. They reached the turbolift and Vitor gave her way. She nodded, moving up the conversation to a brighter topic.

Richards: Please tell me you’ve at least gotten to have some fun since we got to 224?

She raised her eyebrow and chucked.

Vitor opened his arms and let the turbolift doors close.

Silveira: Deck 6. ::He tipped his head to Sam:: I managed to have some, although I haven’t been to the station properly. ::He tapped his nose with his finger:: I have a secret not secret place to show you if you're up to see it.

Richards: Response

He shrugged and simply wink as the turbolift doors opened.
Vitor quietly gestured for her to follow him and they didn’t take long to reach the Elysium.

((USS Artemis-A, deck 6, Elysium))

Vitor stepped slightly ahead of Sam, opening a way for her to pass and as they entered he looked around, and pointed to a table with the larger sofa style seats on one side and two chairs on the other end.

Silveira: That sounds like a good place. I have just the perfect meal for us. A good robust lettuce, cucumber and bell pepper salad, with just a hint of onion and olive oil, served with sword fish fillets. ::He joined his index and thumb together and tapped his ear lobe, just like his grandparents did.:: I can almost taste it.

Richards: Response

Vitor raised an eyebrow. Certainly Sam was aware of his cooking skills. Granted it would be replicated, but even so it was almost as good as the real thing.

Silveira: Are you doubting my cooking skills? You better eat that up or I won’t show you the Arcade

Richards: Response

Vitor led her to her seat and pulled the table out of the way so Sam could sit more comfortably.

Silveira: Oh it’s the fun place I left on the holodeck. Imril was actually instrumental in helping me finish it and if it wasn’t for him it would still be a work in progress. And there’s something for everyone there. I am sure we can find you a cool arcade… ::He raised his finger before sitting:: Once you finish your meal. Fish and salad is very good for… ::Vitor pointed to Sam and her belly:: The three of you.

Richards: Response
