((USS Artemis, corridor))

Vitor had met the new Engineering Ensign, Imril, and with plans to finish the Arcade he was now “working” on something else.

Tempted as he was to seek out Nan, he was struggling with doubts if he should do it or not.
After all they were crewmates, friends, he would naturally check her out. See how she was doing after the recent mission.

The thing was, no matter how much Vitor wanted to see her, he was afraid. Afraid that like in the last shore leave he would put his feet between his hands.
Although they had cleared things up in the ceremony in Zie’s home, and they were able to work together on the bridge before they each beamed down on separate teams to Meirash, there was a conversation pending over them.

Vitor was relatively certain of his feelings for Nan. She was more than a friend. But he was aware of how complicated that made things. And another fear crossed him. The one that Nan didn’t reciprocate.

So far, since the mission, he had distracted himself with the final reports, the work as Tactical Chief, the Arcade. The last one was actually more testing the arcades than the whole project itself…

But trying not to steer into deck three, he decided to leave and visit DS224. Malone’s was always an option. Or that Vulcan restaurant where he had eaten with Sir once.
Dressed casually with just an open shirt and dark pants, he put his combadge in his pocket and walked around the corridors, heading for the umbilical that would connect them to the docking bay of the station.

He crossed paths with a few of his ship comrades, but it was when he took a turn that he noticed a red head that made him raise an eyebrow.
Vitor couldn’t see her at the distance, and it’s been months since they saw each other. However there was something familiar, and not one to be shy, Vitor shouted from the top of his lungs as the old expression went.

Silveira: SAM

S. Richards: Response

As she turned Vitor speeded his pace, widening his smile, and opening his arms.
However, he forgot to turn the volume down.

Silveira: SAM RICHARDS! REALLY?

Before Sam was even able to reply he had closed in ready to hold Sam in one of his bear hugs.

Silveira: It’s so good to see you, give me a hug you Seamstress Empress.

S. Richards: Response

Vitor gave her a strong and warm hug, tapping her shoulders gently.

Silveira: How are you doing? And how did you end up here?

S. Richards: Response
