PNPC Maiman Terpes: Expeditious exit
Kelrod Dickens
((USS Constitution-B – Holodeck 2 )
Hearing the music change it was a bit more animated than the waltz and surely they can dance without much contact, but she felt in need of time to think.
Terpes: I... I'm not familiar with this style, ... mind if we get a drink?
Perax: Sure, what would you like?
Terpes: Not sure... a
synthale or something similar
She watched him go and got ready for his return. The breathing slowed and felt that the mask would help. However, she resisted the urge to put it on. As he came back she offered a smirk.
Perax: I got your synthale. ::he offered one and quickly corrects himself.:: Sorry, not that one. Uh, this one.
Terpes: Thanks... :: she took a sip and barely took a sip, but she make it last longer than necessary :: This is okay.
Perax: Are you ok? You looked a little stressed before I got drinks.
Terpes: Me, no, not at all. There's few times when I get stressed. It won't look good at my job.
Perax: I guess that must be an advantage of being a counselor, knowing how to control stress, I mean.
Terpes: That's my job, I'm used to work on emergency situations where stress is high.
She was right, she knew how to do that on the spot, but when things are personal it's more difficult to do it. She took another sip of the synthale and looked at the dancing pool and realized it'll be a good time to leave.
Terpes: You know, I've enjoyed this, but I feel I'd like to go and check with my brother. Since we're going to have that coffee, if you don't mind, I'll be leaving.
Perax: Response
Terpes: It's been good Leran, I'll see you in three days. Enjoy the rest of the evening
She patted him in the arm and moved to the exit of the holodeck. She'll certainly use the chance to talk with her brother before they have to leave the station.
