((Corridor, Deck 12, USS Astraeus))
Renaie paced the corridoor around sickbay, using the halls as one of their sole modes of coping amongst all this unknown change. They often used these halls to process thoughts, emotions and results.
It must have been on their fourth or fifth lap when they noticed a familiar flash of a face - one that Renaie was kinda relieved to see. They weren't sure whether she was on duty or not, so the medical officer erred on the side of formality in case she was.
Shortrith: Commander Rosek-Skyfire! How are you going with everything?
Rosek-Skyfire: Response
Renaie nodded and took a moment to take a deep breath and think of what to say.
Shortrith: Is… Is this style of transferring too common, if you don't mind me asking?

Pausing for a moment, Renaie took a moment to observe the situation before realising they may have crossed a line.
Shortrith: If you'd rather not talk about it, we could talk to something else…
