It appeared as though Beka had known exactly what she had meant, judging by the response Aeryn received along with the knowing smile. That gave the Security Chief some comfort that she hadn't completely ruined her chances with the Doctor, despite the way she had initially come across. Although she couldn't beat herself up about it, because it wasn't as if she was lying about it being new to her, and while her experiences had primarily been with men, Aeryn wasn't exactly closed off to the possibility of experiencing things with the opposite gender.
Beka also seemed to get her, without the need for Aeryn to keep apologising or making a fool of herself. Even going so far as to tell her fellow redhead to not be put off just because she had a habit of running her mouth off. Beka's confession left an impression on Aeryn, who grinned slightly, feeling more comfortable in the medical officer's presence as she gently squeezed her hand.
That feeling only increased as Beka then offered up a solution that Aeryn immediately began to consider, before she was complimented again, and she had to admit that it was nice to hear it. " You haven't put me off Beka and yes I'd like to slow it down for now" she began. " Neither do I and as long as we're both happy, then that's the main thing".
The key to a successful relationship was both people being happy, and while she was content to take things slow and see where they went, there was a sense of excitement at the prospect of doing that, and spending more time with Beka.
