((Corridor deck 2))
::Nicky walks out of the door within his arms a pile of flyers. He hands out some flyers and when he turns around he sees the woman he once was in love with. His little lamb. But she gently rejected him a while ago and he hadn’t talked to her for a long time::
oO perhaps she left Beardmans already… she is way too good for him anyway Oo
Lushington: ::he puts on his most charming smile and makes sure his tuxedo is clean:: hello, little lamb… oO oooh s!@*# I promised not to say that anymore Oo Femi… how are you?
Cattan: ::she frowns and with hesitation in her voice:: Hey Nicholas. I’m doing fine. ::she smile::
Lushington: You’ve been inside there? ::he points at the closed mess hall door:: was it fun?
Cattan: Yes it was. It’s a smart move from Commander Brell to organize a banquet for us to meet new officers. ::she looks up and down and notices Nicky’s clothes:: why are you wearing a tuxedo?
oO That’s an even fancier meet and greet than we thought Oo
Lushington: ::with a grim on his face:: well, we just opened our new Lounge here. So we were surprised to see that everybody left so early. ::he handed her a flyer::
Cattan: ::she took the flyer and smiles:: I bet your lounge will become popular. ::she didn’t know what to talk with him about and tried not to show her discomfort::
Lushington: oO I need to know it Oo are you… are you still together with… Beardmans?
Cattan: ::she grinned:: oO Nicky and his habit of calling stupid names Oo If you mean Alex… Yes we are still together and doing fine, thanks for asking. ::She knew that wasn’t the answer he was hoping for but it wouldn’t be fair to tell him a lie. Yet, she felt guilty for being this honest with him::
Lushington: ::his face was showing his disappointment and he sighs:: I hope he is treating you right. ::he smiles charmingly:: If you’ll excuse me, lady, I have to hand out some more flyers.
::He bows and offers her his hand so he could place a kiss on it. Like a real gentleman would do::
Cattan: ::Femi places her hand in his hand and blushes while Nicky’s lips touch her hand. She knew that his was his way of showing his respect for her, but it still felt really weird and old-fashioned:: Thank you Nicky, we’ll see us around another time. Good luck and I’ll tell my colleagues to drop by your lounge.
::She smiles one more time and turns around. Nicky sighs and strokes with a hand through his hair.:: oO had I threated her more like a lady when we first met… no… she probably would still have chosen that Beardmans Oo
Lushington: Let’s hope my time will come. But first… ::he looks at the pile of flyers in his hand that hasn’t shrunk enough::
