Vitor offered a soft smile. It was good of Alex to know she needed Counseling.
Silveira: That’s good to hear from you.
Her words softened. Her eyes looked almost leaky
Storm: I know it’s been two years, but … it still hurts, ya know?
Vitor nodded. That was one of those pains that didn’t go away easily.
Silveira: I know… But let's move forward for now… ::He smiled and pointed to his back.:: Even if I am moving back.
Alex rolled her eyes.
Storm: Well, I certainly don’t plan on standing still, and you know me well enough to know that backward is not an option.
Vitor smiled and took to the side of Alex. For a moment he considered asking if she wanted help with her ruffle bag, but he knew she was strong and able to carry it.
Still it would be polite of him…
Silveira: Have you been assigned quarters or are you reporting to the Captain first?
Alex reached into her duffel and pulled out a PADD, waving it.
Storm: I’ve been assigned quarters ::Alex nodded to the communique on the PADD.:: But I’ll be reporting to the Captain once, I’m in. I’d say once I’m in and settled, but :: inclining her head at her bag:: there’s not much to get settled.
Vitor shrugged as they walked in the Artemis direction.
Silveira: Well, if you know where they are I can get your duffle bag in your quarters, or take it to the Tactical deck so you won’t have to carry it around?
Alex slowed her pace, handing her bag to him.
Storm: Thank you, Vitor.
He smiled and swung it over his shoulder.
Silveira: Of course.
Storm: And not just for taking my bag, but for realizing I was here, taking time out of your schedule to meet me, for being my friend.
Vitor shrugged and offered Alex his trademark grin and wink.
Silveira: That’s what friends are for.
But Alex was quick to assure him. Truthfully they had never worked together.
Storm: Don’t get me wrong. On duty, you’re my boss, and you’ll be afforded every respect and courtesy due you, but ::beat:: today, I didn’t need a boss. ::Alex slowed her pace again and cast a genuine smile at Vitor:: Today, I needed a friend, and that’s who showed up.
Alex resumed her pace and playfully bumped her shoulder into his.
He arched his eyebrow in a fake offended look and tried his most Posh British accent.
Silveira: We shall see, Leftenant. ::Playfully he nudged her with his elbow.:: Welcome aboard Alex.
Storm: Response
They were now close to the umbilical that connected them to the Artemis.
Silveira: I think you know the drill, the Captain is likely in her Office. And Main Sickbay is on deck seven, right above our main area of work on deck eight. I will be speeding up if you don’t mind.
Storm: Response
He smiled and nodded to her. Winking one last time.
Silveira: We are on much deserved shore leave, so get settled, get acquainted and we will catch up later. It’s been good to see you Alex.
Storm: Response
With a final nod he turned and started walking in another direction.
It was good to greet Alex like this. And it was always good to get another minion.
