[Round 2] Lt. Tel-ar... back in trouble?

[+ Clase Drene]

((USS Eagle - Bridge))

Tel-ar: Whatever the mission... just remember I volunteer for the riskiest job...:: now his voice held an eagerness to it... an eagerness that Tal quickly squashed...::

:: Angel stood up from the Consul..::

Yukiko: A loner doesn't need to prove himself, he already knows..

::She poked her tongue out teasingly to the young officer... ::

Tel-ar: Very true... ::Tal replied... puzzled by her actions... what did sticking out her tongue mean... was it another human custom... what was he suppost to do in return...::

Yukiko: Well take it from me, ::She winked to him and smiled..:: IF, you want to be on the away mission, you'd better make sure you are at the briefing, other wise I will volunteer for it myself...

::Now a wink... a wink??? Tal looked away... glancing at his consol... then looked back up to see Angel sweep her fingers through her smooth luxurious raven black hair and walk away..::

::Tal watched her go... thoughtful... no... no chance of his being added to any long term away mission... regardless of his wish's... Dr. Gabriel would make sure of that... no... he would have to stay here... available if needed... and for what... a genetic creation... a female... one who had made his life impossible...::

::For a moment Tal almost let it get to him... but before it could he remembered... it was his own fault... he had opened the strange cargo container... he had freed the girl... it wasn't her fault... no... but if Tal ever found out who had created her... oh.. yah... that someone would pay... and not just in blood for all the aggrevation he was going through... no... ::

::Just then Tal was interupted in his thoughts... he had noticed a change in sound... voices among the others on the bridge... turning he looked to see what it was... and wished he hadn't... maybe pushing her out an airlock wasn't a bad idea... sure he would have to jump with her... that or spend years in a penal colony... it just might be better than this...::

**************

::Koriander stepped off the lift... a quick glance around showed that Tal... her master was here... seated not far away... he was a hard man to miss... taller than most with a slim yet athletic form... wide shoulders, deep chest and a narrow waist... his back was to her... but she could never mistake him for another...::

::She started towards him... but as she did she noticed that the other officers on the bridge were turning to stare... they gave her strange looks... one even dropped the padd he had been useing...::

::She would have to ask Dr. Gabriel about that later... she still had so much to learn... even with all she had been reading off the computer data files... their was still many things that puzzled her...::

::As she got closer she saw Tal turn... he looked at her... his face impassive... but his eye's... they spoke volumes... maybe this wasn't a good idea... but it was to late to go back...::

::So she continued... walking forward... stopping near him... going down to kneel... holding up the tray with lunch...::

**************

::Tal watched her walk towards him... altho walk was an understatement... glide... flow... not even those words did her justice... graceful... like a dancer or... or something not of this reality... which she technically wasn't... and those large bright green eye's stareing at him... they were also unreal... as for her dress... a couple wispy fragments of transparent green clothe... not enough to be called clothes really... ::

::As she stopped and went to her knees in front of him he recognised the fabric... Andorian silk... and the tray... also Andorian... but the foods weren't... a glass of milk... some fruit... and could it be... a grni'kit... a flat bread opened to hold spicy meat with sauce and...::

Tel-ar: Thank you. ::he managed to say... his voice calm... while his eye's noticed how everyone reacted...
