Alex had always been direct. Straight to the point. Vitor thought it best to be as honest as possible. Again he shrugged, he gestured to the Artemis behind him.
Silveira: I came because we are… Friends. And I wanted you to feel welcome. The last time we met…
He stopped, it ended up not being a good goodbye. Alex and Kona were arguing, Thera took Alex’s side. Vitor was trying to mediate… It wasn’t pretty.
Storm: Yep…The last time we met, I was digging my heels in. I did that a lot, didn’t I? Until I couldn’t any more. I appreciate the gesture of friendship. You were trying to be the voice of reason. Maybe if I had listened sooner…
Vitor took a deep breath.
Silveira: Look at one point we were all very close, and even with what life had thrown at us… I still hold you, Kona and Cassie in my heart.
Alex’s reaction was what he expected. She took a deep breath and her voice sounded ominous when she replied.
Storm: I’m going to find them, Vitor. Not because I want to make Kona pay, but because I need to see my daughter. ::She paused unsure if she should continue, but opening her mind up to sense how he was feeling, she said softly.:: I’d think if anyone could understand that, it would be you.
He did. And it saddened him how things between Alex and Kona ended up. It pained him because he and Thera also didn't work out.
But they had managed to keep it civil, to remain at a respectable distance for Jonathan. He wished Alex and Kona had managed the same.
Silveira: I do.
And that was Vitor's only reply. The friend.
But Lieutenant Silveira was Chief Tactical Officer of the Artemis. No matter the connection and the bond, he had to act accordingly if needed.
Silveira: I hope this won't be a problem.
Alex held the strap with both hands as she shook her head.
Storm: No. I won’t let this become a problem. I can’t. ::Alex rolled her black eyes and shook her head. Almost as easily cast off the thought like it were an old garment.:: I’ll be seeing one of the counselors on board. I’m sure he or she will help me continue to process through everything.
Vitor offered a soft smile. It was good of Alex to know she needed Counseling.
Silveira: That’s good to hear from you.
Her words softened. Her eyes looked almost leaky
Storm: I know it’s been two years, but … it still hurts, ya know?
Vitor nodded. That was one of those pains that didn’t go away easily.
Silveira: I know… But let's move forward for now… ::He smiled and pointed to his back.:: Even if I am moving back.
Storm: Response
Vitor smiled and took to the side of Alex. For a moment he considered asking if she wanted help with her ruffle bag, but he knew she was strong and able to carry it.
Still it would be polite of him…
Silveira: Have you been assigned quarters or are you reporting to the Captain first?
Storm: Response
Vitor shrugged as they walked in the Artemis direction.
Silveira: Well, if you know where they are I can get your rifle bag in your quarters, or take it to the Tactical deck so you won’t have to carry it around?
Storm: Response
