((DS224, docking bay))
It had been one or two lifetimes ago since he last saw Alex.
The friendship was there, otherwise he wouldn’t have welcomed her in the docks of DS224.
He never did that for anyone else in his department. of his team.
But there was still something from the past, something still a little broken.
That was why she didn’t accept the hug, offering her hand instead.
He smiled and shook it. Shrugging he took a step back.
Silveira: You're too kind. I had a run in with a Q, and he thought it would be nice to punish me, and deage me, so I could relieve an old trauma. ::He winked:: The brighter side I get to look almost seven years younger. You're ordered to report to Captain MacKenzie right?
Alex laughed. Well at least that was a start.
Storm: I am. So ::She drew out the word.:: How’d you know about that?
Vitor smiled and grinned as he pointed to the Artemis.
Silveira: I also serve on the Artemis. In fact… I am your Chief.
Storm: You….::she pointed at him:: You, are my ::The same hand repositioned itself to her chest.:: chief?
Alex's eyes shifted between him and the Artemis behind him.
He nodded slowly, hoping that wouldn’t be a problem. Opening his arms he started speaking.
Silveira: Vitor Stone Silveira, Lieutenant, serial number SV - 783 - 184, Chief Tactical Officer, NCC-81287 USS Artemis-A. I hope that isn’t a problem?
Storm: Oh no. ::Alex shook her head briefly, cast a lop-sided grin and lowered her eyebrows.:: I don’t mind at all. It's one less person to have to acclimate to.
Alex paused, smiled, shook her head again, and chuckled.
Vitor nodded and then shrugged, relieved that they were restarting on the right foot.
Silveira: Good. I am glad to hear that.
Storm: I don’t think I could have gotten better news on my arrival, Vitor. ::Alex repositioned her duffel on her shoulder.:: So you decided to come find me, since I’m a part of your department, or because you were curious about how I turned out?
Vitor arched his eyebrow and tipped his head. Alex hadn’t changed, going straight to the subject.
Silveira: If I lied and said both would you be okay with it?
Alex would know, or at least sense it. She was Betazoid after all.
Storm: Response
Again Vitor shrugged, he gestured to the Artemis behind him.
Silveira: I came because we are… Friends. And I wanted you to feel welcome. The last time we met…
He stopped, it ended up not being a good goodbye. Alex and Kona were arguing, Thera took Alex’s side. Vitor was trying to mediate… It wasn’t pretty.
Storm: Response
Vitor took a deep breath.
Silveira: Look at one point we were all very close, and even with what life had thrown at us… I still hold you, Kona and Cassie in my heart.
Storm: Response
