Shortrith: Hey Sira! How are you?
Tovaan: Greetings, Renaie. I’m well enough. Thank you for asking. And, how is it going with you?
Shortrith: I'm… It's going. Would you like anything to drink? I can grab it for ya.
Tovaan: That would be great. It looks busy and the waiter might take a few minutes getting here. I would like a Rodulan Red, if you don’t mind.
Shortrith: Sounds good… and just out of curiosity, would you be up for keeping in touch when we eventually get transferred?
Renaie knew it was random, but she had the feeling they both needed a friend.
Tovaan: I would love that. I’m being sent back to Earth, the Academy, for additional training in Intelligence Analysis. Apparently, I’m to be reassigned as an analyst somewhere. But classes should take about a year, from what I was told, so it would be great to have someone to talk to.
Renaie collected the drinks and placed Sira's in front of her.
Shortrith: You'd make a good analyst. ::pauses, watches her analytically for a moment:: Look after yourself, okay?
Tovaan: I will be sure to do that. Have you received your assignment yet?
Shortrith: Nope… I have no clue where I'm going.
Tovaan: Well, when you do, you know where to contact me. I hate starting over and it will be nice to have someone familiar to talk to.
Renaie smiled, appreciative of Sira's words.
Shortrith: I'll reach out whenever I get the chance, you're an awesome person who deserves a good friend.
Tovaan: Response
Shortrith: It's all good, I'm always here to listen and provide motivation to others.
Tovaan: Response
Shortrith: ::smiling:: Yeah, I think so too.
