Gath was a little more relaxed than his typical self, but you had to know him to see it in his behavior. As Evie and her sister approached, a grin appeared on his face and a twinkle in his eye, "Looking good, ladies."
She asked, "Exciting day isn't it?"
Gath replied, "Well, it is now." He quickly added, "I enjoy attending such moments, especially in the company of those I respect. It is important to involve peers in such moments and this as a valuable part of our community we have developed here. Fortunately, this version doesn't involve pain sticks."

When A'kilees took notice of her uniform, she grinned and nodded, "Yes, it is a rare moment that I observe certain formalities, but I've actually been a Lieutenant before...twice in fact, so I can follow such traditions when I want to. It is amazing how much trouble you can get into if you strike a superior officer, even if they started it."
He then asked her what was going on and she smiled and began to kid with him, "Well, there are many traditions we still hang onto. Some are harder in space though. It isn't as easy to keel-haul a person, for example and there's no real purpose to walking a plank, since you simply float away from it as soon as the airlock opens, which really makes it hard to then be eaten by sharks, unless you fall to the surface of a planet first, in which case...well, you get the idea." She shrugged, "However, some traditions are still around, and this happens to be one of them."
Knowing that she had only managed to confuse A'kilees even more, she gave a chuckle and gave him a playful punch in the arm, "You're a good troop and I'm glad you're on the team."
