ZE/D02 - Crew Mess
#37
The Bolian bartender, Moxi, slid their drinks across the bar with a professional smile – the Saurian Brandy for him, the dirty martini for her. Ameen picked up his glass, the amber liquid catching the soft light of the lounge. He saw Amila’s reaction, the way she looked down, a little bashful, after agreeing that things were strange.

She feels it too. This awkwardness. Good. At least I'm not the only one.

He leaned in again, keeping his voice low, creating a small bubble just for the two of them amidst the growing noise of the lounge. He could hear Dr. O'Fee's voice nearby, already giving a rather blunt assessment of their guest. He chose to ignore it for now. This moment was more important.

"Yeah, 'strange' is putting it mildly," he murmured, a wry smile touching his lips. "I feel like I'm trying to follow two sets of regulations at once: Starfleet's, and whatever this mission's unwritten rules are."

He took a small sip of his brandy, his gaze softening as he looked at her. "But... I'm glad you're here, Amila. Seeing you handle the preparations for this dinner, taking charge... it's been the one part of the last few days that's felt... right."

He let the comment hang in the air, a simple, honest statement. It was as much as he could say, here and now, but he wanted her to know.
