Ensign Gavrin Tarsan - No Mutiny on the Bounty

[Sean Sabbage]

(( Bridge - Deck 1, USS Artemis-A ))

Gavrin was so caught up in his tactile exploration of the bridge that he missed Tamio's first question, having to ask them for a repeat. He left his hand against the frame of the console as they tried again.

K'Wara: No, you’re good. ::genuine smile:: Is it what you thought it’d be?

Tarsan: It's just so.. different, you know? Like, it's mine. ::realising how that might have sounded, blustering to talk over himself:: I mean. It's not mine, obviously. It's the Captain's. I mean, it's Starfleet's. Clearly.

Gavrin kicked himself hard internally, face flushing as he did his best to stop talking. Though, it came a little too late for his dignity, what little of it remained.

K'Wara: I get what you’re feeling. As an Ensign, I got assigned to a Norway class as a pilot. It was the Captain’s Ship, but... I don’t think it’s uncommon to feel that the Ship is yours too.

Tarsan: Yeah... ::trying to redirect quickly:: where was your first posting?

K’Wara: The USS Churchill. She was a support vessel to Starbase 118 10 years ago. Beautiful Ship. Home to the craziest sports nuts in the Fleet. Our weekly hockey tournaments were legendary.

Though Gavrin wasn't much one for sports, he still could appreciate the usefulness of them, especially for those who enjoyed them.

Tarsan: What uh... position did you play?

K’Wara: ::big grin:: I mostly spectated. Not much for contact sports. ::gestures with their head towards the back of the Bridge:: The Captain’s Ready Room is over in the corner here. You ready?

Gavrin swallowed as his gaze slid towards the Ready Room, nervously shifting backwards before he made an attempt to straighten his spine.

Tarsan: Aye, I think I am. ::Pause:: Well, as long as the Captain doesn't think I'm trying to take over her ship.

K'Wara: Response

Tarsan: Nope, no plans to mutiny on my first day...

K'Wara: Response

Gavrin nodded, giving Tamio a wry smile of acknowledgement before he dusted down his uniform quickly, following them towards the Ready Room.

Tarsan:  Oh uh... does she prefer sir, ma'am, or Captain? Or something else?

K'Wara: Response
