The captain had looked as if she was just about to begin proceedings for this auspicious occasion when his voice had caught her ear. Leo had fumbled his way through the crowd when the captain finally laid eyes on him and she appeared to be looking at him with an air of familiarity.
Why is she looking at me like that? I haven't upset her already have I?
“Quickly, if we delay the serving of snacks, we’ll have a mutiny on our hands.” She said.
Even she seemed slightly taken aback by her own words.
Ooh, snacks. Shut up! His internal monologue argued.
Leo stood before his captain and struggled to hold his nerve but fought the urge to snap to attention infront of his new CO and in an attempt to keep from wasting his new captain's time, Leo rushed through his words, almost in one continuous breath.
“My sincerest apologies captain. I was supposed to be transferred at the same time as your other new graduates but my exam overran somewhat and then the delay with the transfer, sorry. I know this is a highly inappropriate introduction but I am here and I'm excited to get started.”
You fool. She's busy, what are doing? His mind Screamed at him.
“I can see you're very busy, sorry, again, I'll go away now and let you get on. I will report to the Chief of Security once this soiree is finished.”
Leo, trying to get out of the way of his own awkwardness, took a step backwards to allow her to continue the duties he so brashly interrupted.
