Deflection…
Ju supposed that’s exactly what it was, she needed to get the subject off of her and Commander Hot and Dark. There were a lot of questions, she herself, still had regarding their relationship and if it was even a full relationship or not. For now, she was just along for the ride until things settled a bit longer and they could have a conversation about it. Right now, there was no point in having a conversation about their relationship when it was still so very new. They hadn’t even had a first kiss yet so she didn’t think it was anything serious just yet.
Mara admitted that she didn’t have much of a personal life, so there wasn’t much to talk about. Ju’s heart fell a little as she listened to her new friend talk down about herself and her hopes for a relationship. Mara talked about how she was taller and stronger than most not to mention that she was a Lieutenant and that scared people especially men away from her. Ju rolled her eyes, “Why are guys still jerks? You would think in this day and age when acceptance is everything that those kinds of things wouldn’t be an issue.”
Ju smirked. “I have two brothers you know,” she grinned. “Well… wait, one, because the eldest is married.” She laughed with a bit of a glisten in her eyes. Neither of them were in Starfleet but she was also just trying to bring Mara out of the pit of self despair where she had gone due to her dating prospects.
“Ahhh deflection.” She teased back at Mara who had called her out earlier with such tactics. When the question settled Ju nodded. “Yeah I’m an Engineer. My main focuses are in Propulsion and Life Support Systems. I want to make the Life Support Systems more effective and to use less engine capacity but also I want to make ships faster. I have a need for speed, it’s unhealthy, but I think there’s a lot of room for improvement with some creativity.”
Ju decided to turn the question back on Mara. “What about you? Security is your department but what are your focuses? Apparently you’re good at fighting, but what else besides smashing faces?”
