"Please join us my friend, there is always room for one more." said Beno
Luna gave a slight smile, trying her best to hide her emotions to the outside world and probably failing miserably as she always did. Heaving a audible sigh Luna slid into a seat before summoning a waiter to bring her a steaming cup of coffee. When it arrived Luna thanked them for the speed of service and hugged the mug for a moment in both hands.
"The day is going to come when this is all over, but it's not today. Today we are going to put the spark back in everyone's eye." Said Commander Velaul while she got up to leave the table.
"At least it will take my mind off things for a while." said Dan giving her a small smile, once Beno left him and Luna he said,
"Sorry, we have a lot on our mind at the moment, meetings and the such like I might not be my usual self." Dan finished off his cup of tea and idly played with the cup.
Luna studied him with her icy blue eyes, she had known him long enough to know when something major was on his mind.
"Let's not worry about the boring stuff, what's going on in Luna world?" Dan asked, getting rid of his outward downwardness into his professional medic/captain face as if nothing was troubling him.
Luna reached over to touch his hand with her dainty hand "Look Dan, you know as well as I do that you will never pull the wool over the eyes of your Chief of Security." she said looking him directly in the eyes "I've known you long enough to know when you are troubled... you know yourself that a problem shared is a problem halved now what can I do to help?" she said tilting her head slightly.
While she waited for Dan to address this question, she thought about his "In Luna world?" she responded with a slight glint in her eye.
"Well in Luna world it's honestly been manic. Apart from not being given a chance to adequately help people we have been tasked with to help, due to Star Fleet hierarchy deeming their need of us is greater. Since I've been back ship side Aurora has not let up. She has commandeered my every single free moment into helping her prepare everything for her baby. Not to say I'm not over the moon for her and Matt I truly am but to be honest it's exhausting. God help myself one day when I can begin such an exciting adventure. I have not had a single minute to unwind and now here I am having just fought with a crib and erecting a Starship mobile over it in their quarters and I feel like I have just undertaken twelve rounds with one of them ancient Olympic boxers that my mum would always comment about back at home."
Luna picked up her mug again and drank deeply... " Ahhh hot caffeine" she commented feeling relieved to finally have five minutes alongside the man she enjoyed spending time with the most, although it seemed to her that he was still completely and utterly oblivious of her in this way. She had decided that the next course of action would be if he didn't notice soon she would put it out there in black and white and just tell him straight. But she hoped he would eventually take her every hint and it wouldn't come to that.
Luna then thought of Beno's last communication via her Comm Badge before she had left the table.
[Attention crew of the Charon this is Commander Velaul please join us in the Holo suit in thirty minutes. Velaul out.]
She touched Dan on the arm "Care to escort me to the Holo suite?" she asked "I'm sure Beno will help us all forget our troubles, either that or mass group training, Either way at least we will put our current worries to one side" she chuckled as she finished her coffee and waited for Dan's response. Luna had secretly hoped he would offer her his arm but she wouldn't press the point.
