As the incoming First Officer approached, Talion casually stood from his chair. He met Velaul with a warm smile that looked genuine, not like the polite smiles people often wore at such functions, "Ah, Commander Velaul." Talion also glanced at the door and back to Velaul with a shrug, "Kids today..."
Alex then gave a chuckle and said, "Looking forward to it...the meeting, that is." He gestured at the room with the glass that was in his hand, "I've never been one much for the pomp and circumstance, but I understand the purpose and am happy to bear witness to a milestone in an officer's career."
As Velaul politely started to move on, making the obligatory circuit of the room, Alex gave a small nod of the head. The understanding was implied.
