((takes place on Xandra's way to the 'girls night out'))
She resettled her holster belt on her hip as she moved around the railing towards Del's office. A gala... She didn't see the point. But as a staff officer, she guessed she was gonna have to attend. So might as well resign herself to it.
Coming to Del's office, she took a deep breath and stared at it. This is stupid, she told herself. He's probably got someone already. I can hear it now, 'Ummm Del... would you like to attend the Gala with me? I know it's dumb, but since we are both gonna be expected to show up' and he's gonna look at you and say he's known about it for some time and already had a date. Her brain was laughing as she stared at his door a moment, about to raise her hand, whispering a silent prayer he would say yes. While the other half of her brain hoped he wasn't there. Then it wouldn't be a 'no'. <e>

Del sat at his desk, staring at a holo screen that was set to display the passing stars from a ships windows. When he was deep in thought and not training, this was one his favorite method to contemplate. His mind had been going over so much that he had fially taken a break from his duties. He had a bottle of synthahol Zelarkian fire whiskey in hand and would take a large swallow of the hot, burning liquid.

Dels mind ran over what he had 'overheard' by accident the night before between Shaye and Xandra. What he had said to Shaye had been true, she did like him. When that thought crosses his mind another part, one he had been trying to suppress would pipe in. His mind would think of Alieya, his wife and the knowledge that she had been dead for almost 200 years but because he had been in cryo when her unit malfunctioned, he hadn't learned of it until he had went looking for her files.
He absent mindedly wiped the forming tears from his eyes as he took another burning gulp of his bottle when his door chirped. He jumped at the sudden sound as he was so deep in thought. "Come!" He called as he dropped his feet to the floor with a heavy thud as he corked the bottle and shoved it in a desk drawer as the door opened to allow Xandra entrance.

Xandra startled at his voice and looked. Her hand was on the chime. Dropping it with a bite her to lip, she smiled as the door opened and she walked in. She was in her uniform jumper and her duty belt rested low on her hips. "Hey... just thought I'd see how you were?" She walked in far enough to rest her hands on the back of the chair across from his desk. <e>

From the otherside of the desk, she can smell a strong cinnamon scent wafting from del as he smiled at her. "Oh... Uh nothing really just thinking about stuff." He glanced around at the mess of PaDDs on his desk. "Sorry for the mess. I was just going over some stuff and took a break. Guess i got lost in thought." The more he spoke the stronger the scent got.

It was strange, to smell something so natural in regards to him. It never occured to him what he drank. Well, unless she was indulging in one like she had the other night after Shaye had bolted.
She waved her hand and smiled. "No worries. You should see my desk." Her surface thought was wondering what had occupied his mind to make him want synthihol to begin with. "Ummm so... Shaye has convinced me to come see them try on dresses. Apparently there is a gala coming up." She looked down at her hands on the back of the chair. "So... I'm not a fan of the soirees. But I thought, if you wanted to go with me, we could skip out together once the required niceties were done." Her voice blasted it all out in a rush. "I mean, being second and third to Nik, we are kind of obligated to make an appearance."
She wasn't sure what he would say, but once more she found herself wondering what he would look like in his Dinner Dress uniform. <e>

Del smiled. "I would be honored to escort a beautiful lady as you." He took a deep breath.
<e>
LlewelPendragonToday at 3:51 AM
He said yes
Her brain tried to respond but his beautiful lady comment took her breath as well. A blush rose to her cheeks and suddenly she couldn't think of anything to say. "So...ummmm... I'll meet you here. Say, 1850 hours? Go together from here?" She took a step back towards the door. "Ummm... I'll be in Dinner Dress Uniform. Guessing you're doing the same?" She was at the doorway already.
Her surface thoughts were of him in his formal uniform and how amazing he would look. She just hoped she'd do him justice on her own formals. <e>

"Aye but they wont be the Starfleet dress but the UFOP Marine dress. I went into cryo a marine come out transfered to starfleet. I only have the marine dress." Del said with a smile. "Sounds good. 1850 it is."

She nodded. Even better. They would make a striking couple next to Nik at the gala. "I'll see you then..." and she disappeared from sight. So... now she had a reason to stand up to the girls and NOT get some fancy gown. Her formals would compliment his quite nicely. <e>
