Vitor looked one last time in the mirror. He looked to each side of his face. Since their return to Callis he had trimmed his beard, but didn’t shaved it and he was still wondering what Nan would think of it.
He had spent years with one, but when Nan joined the Excalibur he had already shaved it and until their recent mission he never spent more than three or four days without shaving.

With a final shrug he turned and headed to the table, where the little wrapped box was. He had changed to the comfortable jeans, t-shirt, moccasins combo. As he picked up Nan’s gift he wondered if he shouldn’t dress up properly and take her to a decent dinner planet side.

He had spent the last hour in the gym, and he really only wanted to be with Nan, they could plan a fancy dinner for tomorrow, after all it wasn’t as if their shore leave was about to end abruptly. He grinned as he picked up the gift and tapped his combadge.

Silveira: =/\= Silveira to Jovenan, I hope you're not busy, I plan on dropping by your quarters in… Ten minutes? If you remember I have something for you…

Jovenan: =/\= Response

Vitor smiled and began walking to the door.

Silveira: =/\= You will have to wait and see. Be right there… Sil out.

Jovenan: =/\= Response

Vitor was already in the corridor when the comline closed. His smile was wide and he was humming a Christmas song. One of those centuries old songs that were popular back on Earth.

Vitor hit Nan’s chime and waited for her to open the door. Seeing her was like enjoying the sunlight, he stepped in, with one hand he put the wrapped gift behind his back, reached for her waist and gently pulled her close to him with his other hand.

Silveira: I missed you my love.

Jovenan: Response

He leaned down, resting his forehead in hers. Closing his eyes he let himself enjoy the moment. It was as if time stopped when they were like this. He opened his eyes, smiled,  kissed her, and pulled the gift near them.

Silveira: Merry late Christmas

Jovenan: Response
