One of the first things Alexander noticed as the captain welcomed them on board was her smile, she had some fangs of her own. Somehow this made Alex feel more comfortable and connected with his new captain. Alexander nearly purred with pride as she described his academy record as impressive. He stopped himself just in time, but still stood up a little straighter, head held just a tad higher. He was proud of his accomplishments, but he still had so much more he wanted to achieve.
As the captain explained she wanted to get to know them better, Alex was reminded of his home. On the civilian transport where he grew up, voyages often lasted months or years and the crew were more family then coworkers. Perhaps Captain Braggins wished for a similar level of closeness on her crew, only time would tell.
When the captain described the incident with the train Alex had so many questions, his curiosity peaked. Now is not the time he chided himself. The incident with the Midshipman was understandable though, even with the little detail provided. The captain was a strong woman and if you did not respect her, it was at your peril, a fine quality in a leader.
Midshipman West wanted to be a pop singer how interesting. I wonder if she could be convinced to sing?
Alexander loved music, he found it very moving as a rule and Alex had also fairly recently learned of his peoples great love for the arts, a link he shared with them. When jade brought up frontier day, a shudder surged through Alex. He had not turned and because of that he had been forced to kill several classmates. The ferocity with which he had defended himself when threatened still surprised Alex, he had literally torn people to shreds.
Alex instinctively gave a sympathetic growl to Jade, he could definitely sympathize with her. His hand reached out comfortingly, but he pulled it back.
Some people do not enjoy being touched, especially by strangers he reminded himself.
Now it was his turn to share, but what to share that was not already in his file. Alexander recalled an incident, but he was ashamed. Perhaps that was only from his human upbringing though, his fellow Caitians had assured him it was normal.
"On my first trip to Cait for a friend's bachelor party I ate simulated Betazoid, Human and Vulcan." Alex flinched at the memory and then realized some assurances were likely required. "I assure you both I only participated because I had also tried alcohol and I will not take to eating my fellow crew members."
Way to make friends Alex! Alex shook his head.
