He looked at Nan and for a moment considered following her, Zie could stay in the holodeck and he and Nan could go somewhere else and…
Vitor grinned and before Nan went too further away he almost shouted.

Silveira: Nan, wait…

Jovenan: Response

He raced quickly to where the mini dolls were resting and he grabbed the mini Sil. Barely the next second he was holding to Nan, with a smile.

Silveira: Here… I would like you to take it. That way I am always… Close…

Vitor hoped that Nan would accept it, but he quickly remembered they weren’t alone.
And as that old expression went, the Devil is in the details.

And they had a 5'9", 135 lbs, red hair detail still around.

That apparently had decided to take action. Vitor hadn’t realized but Zie had just stood from the arcade and was now near them.
With one hand, Zie reached out to Nan, lifting her arm and with the other she took his own hand, that was holding Mini Sil. Making them meet in the middle.

Vitor was so stunned he just let Zie hold them and it took him a second to really process what was happening.

MacKenzie: She accepts. ::turning to Jovenan:: Vitor would like you to come by his quarters for dinner later. He’s a fantastic cook and it will be a delicious meal. ::turning to Silveira:: Jo will be there at 1900 hours.

She gave them a mischievous smile, as Vitor began to feel his cheeks burning.
He felt Zie’s hand on his shoulder and looked at Nan and Zie still confused.

MacKenzie: No thanks required – have a good time!

It took him a few more seconds to realize that they were alone, and still with their hands meeting halfway.
He was afraid to say something stupid, but he took a deep breath as he looked at Nan. He smiled and tipped his head, finding strength in her. Taking another second he finally arranged his thoughts to speak.

Silveira: OK, this escalated rather quickly and… I don’t want to force you… But I would love to have you for dinner… Like the Captain said… But please if you don’t want to…

Jovenan: Response

His smile widened and he stepped closer, closing the gap between them. Vitor gently pressed the Mini Sil.

Mini Sil: Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.

He frowned but kept smiling.

Silveira: Appropriate, although I say “don't look at the teeth of a gift horse.” But the meaning is there. Perhaps we could… Go with the flow?

Jovenan: Response
