((USS Artemis, deck 3, Silveira’s quarters))
Vitor had finally decided to meet Nan. He had a good enough excuse, hoping he wasn't intruding on her shore leave plans.
Silveira: =/\= I wanted to check in on you. See how you were doing after the mission. Also I need you… ::he realized the second he spoke that his words could be misinterpreted. He raised a hand even if there was nobody around.:: I mean I need to show you something…
He tipped his head… Maybe that wasn’t as clear as he thought. And also another potential misunderstanding.
Jovenan: =/\= Oh? What is it? =/\=
He stopped, shaking his head and waving his hands around as he usually did when talking.
Silveira: =/\= I have a project I am working on and I want you to see it. That is, if you're up to it. If you already have plans or are busy with something I understand.
Vitor crossed his fingers waiting for Nan’s answer. He realized how awkward the gesture was, and how it came out of nowhere. After all he wasn’t superstitious or anything like that. It must have been some odd reaction. Something deeply buried in his mind.
When he was a kid his grandfather had taught him that gesture, as he did with so many others, like the Vulcan salute. But he hadn't done that in years. The last time he did was when he tried and thought that to Jonathan, when he was still a toddler.
The results were mixed, and ended up with Jonathan learning how to do the middle finger instead.
These thoughts crossed his mind at almost the speed of light as he waited to hear her voice.
Jovenan: =/\= Of course I will come, I’d love to! Where shall we meet, and when? =/\=
Vitor smiled and resumed walking around the room.
Silveira: =/\= Holodeck one, in deck two. But no need to rush if you're busy. =/\=
Jovenan: =/\= I’m in my office, I’ll go to my quarters to change and come there right away. Is that okay? =/\=
Vitor almost offered to pick her up at her office and escort her all the way. But that might look a little pushy.
Silveira: =/\= Yes, perfect. =/\=
Jovenan: =/\= Okay, see you soon! Bye! =/\=
Vitor felt his cheeks warmer and he jiggled slightly as he kept walking around his room.
Silveira: =/\= See you soon. =/\=
With the comline closed he went back to take one last check on the mirror.
The wide smile that was stamped in his face couldn’t hide what he was feeling.
((Short time skip))
((USS Artemis, deck 2, outside Holodeck 1))
Vitor arrived first as he expected and he just strolled around for a minute or two before he saw Nan arriving. She changed to casual clothes, but looked as cute as ever. Vitor realized that they looked pretty cool together, almost matching.
Nan was smiling when she came close and he stood there, smiling back at her.
Jovenan: Hi. How, um, how are you?
Vitor couldn’t resist and replied quickly. He crossed his arms behind him to resist the urge to hug her. He felt his cheeks getting warmer again.
Silveira: I am good, much better now that you are here. It's good to see you. ::he tipped his head sideways.:: I had thought of checking in on you before, but I didn’t want to impose.
Jovenan: Response
Vitor smiled. His heart raced and he began gesturing to the holodeck entrance, trying to resist the urge to get closer and simply hug her, feel Nan close.
Forcing those thoughts aside he quickly moved on.
Silveira: That’s good to know. Now, let me show you what I am working on. It’s still a work in progress, and I have the new Engineer, Imril, helping. But I wanted you to be the first person I really invite inside and show this.
Jovenan: Response
Vitor turned and set up the program, opening the doors to the holodeck.
((USS Artemis, deck 2, Holodeck 1))
Vitor gestured for Nan to step inside and then followed her. The arcades were still chaotically distributed around the hologrid. He noticed something on two of them, but he opened his arms wide and let the enthusiasm take over, moving around the machines.
It was also a way to not overstep and reach for Nan’s hand. He ended up by the seat of the racing arcade meant for Zie.
Silveira: Welcome to the Arcade. I am building this so that the whole crew can have fun. These are old games from Earth's past and I had a few already thought out for some of our comrades. ::he tapped the back of the racing seat.:: This one is for the Captain. Before you joined us on the Excalibur me, Niac and Jor… I mean Iljor ended up being driven by the Captain and let me tell you… She loves speed. So…
He smiled as he turned the wheel of the racing simulator as he wicked at Nan.
Vitor turned and began to walk to the Arcade that had a pair of rifles on it, as he did he turned to Nan pointing to the flight simulator.
Silveira: That one is for Al… You know our Ops/Helm officer. I am sure it's right up her alley. Now this… This is a little of a joke for someone.
He stopped by the duck hunt arcade.
Jovenan: Response
Vitor smiled and took out the arcade rifle, pointing it at the screen, but still looking at Nan. His mischievous grin had replaced momentarily the stamped wide smile that being with Nan he had, almost constantly plastered on his lips.
Silveira: Have you read the last mission reports? Of all people I didn’t expect Salkath to be the one shooting Meirashi wildlife. So here he can shoot… At least some ducks. ::He winked at Nan.:: I am pretty sure he will be a good sport and appreciate the joke.
