Samantha Richards - Lead the way
Samantha Richards
((Samantha’s Quarters Deck 6, USS Artemis))
The once lonely scientist was now joined by one of her newer friends. Natasha Cole. Sam called her in and the empty-ness of the quarters began to dissipate.
Cole: ::smiling:: Hope you called for company and not security, because I only brought the first one.
Sam gave her a smile and a wave as the officer made her way closer.
Richards: Come in, make yourself comfortable. ::Lowering her head a bit:: Thank you for coming. I, uh, am used to having at least one person around. It’s been too quiet here.
Cole: Not a problem ::looking around at the more spacious quarters:: plus it’s nice to get a peak to see how some of the other personnel get to live.
She gestured to the couch for Natasha to sit.
Richards: I hope I didn’t pull you away from anything too important.
Cole: I was losing my shirt at Galaxy-opoly, not sure if Crashcart was winning or Meris was.
Sam chuckled a bit as she ran her hands over her bump.
Richards: ::Sheepishly:: You got some time to hang out? I found out 224 has a pretty spectacular pool. Do you like swimming?
Cole: Absolutely I do. I didn’t for a while, but I have grown to love it.
Sam smiled, curious as to why Natasha used to not like swimming, but didn’t push the issue.
Richards: Perfect. Swimming really takes some of the pressure off. ::chuckling:: These babies are a lot heavier than they look.
Cole: ::listening to her friend:: I did see a cute two piece in a shop after our Ice cream excursion with the Captain.
A devious smirk appeared on her face and she looked at Nat.
Richards: So what I’m hearing, is new swimsuits, swimming and Ice Cream after?
She was excited, it sounded like it was going to be a genuinely good time. There was still a tinge of sadness inside, eating at her. It must have shown through to her face, because Nat followed up with a question.
Cole: I’m sorry, I should have asked, how are you doing?
The question was more difficult to answer than it should have been and she stuttered over her words a bit.
Richards: Oh- I, uhm- Well. ::Taking a deep breath:: I’m doing okay… I guess. ::Shrugging:: There’s been a lot of changes lately. I’m just trying to keep up with all of them.
Cole: Response
Sam waved her hand in front of her.
Richards: I did not ask you to come here and listen to me sulk. Where did you see that cute two piece? We are both getting new ones.
Cole: Response
Sam eased herself off the couch.
Richards: Let’s go. ::Holding out her arm:: Lead the way.
Cole: Response
TAG/TBC!
