: : : : : : Miranda smiled as he came into view, straightening up in her seat. Seeing him dressed as she was, she tilted her head a little. "Well, don't you look nice. Is this your usual off-time appearance," she said before taking a quick sip of her tea. As she sat there, she idly flexed one leg, letting her foot bounce softly in the air beneath the table, legs crossed. She gestured toward the seat, a silent invitation to sit.

: : : : : Smiling a genuinely warm smile, Brendon pulled the seat Miranda had gestured to out a bit and slid into a comfortable position. "I dress like this on occasion," he said, wasting no time in making eye contact. While he could appreciate Miranda's natural beauty, he always believed making and keeping eye contact was one of the ultimate forms of respect. "Trust me," he smirked, "if we were lounging in my quarters, I'd probably be wearing a light tee-shirt and a pair of running shorts."

: : : : : Taking a slow sip of his ginger ale, he asked, "So how did everything go for you today?"
: : : : :
: : : : : Stone - Security
: : : :
: : : : Miranda rolled her eyes even though she beamed a smile. "Oh man... My head is buzzing from all the meetings and protocol. Chief Grant seems like she'll be good to work for. Doc Kracko did my arrival med check. Seems like a nice older fellow. Of course I bumped into you, and here we are." She sipped at her drink again, but was only very slowly, taking it down millimeter by millimeter.

: : : "I encountered Doc Kracko yesterday for my check-up," Brendon said as Miranda took a sip of her drink. "I don't think I've met someone that eclectic since I took my pre-Academy medical."
: : :
: : : Taking another sip from his own drink, he added, "I met some of my co-workers on the security force today, and I've got to say that I'm not sure whether I should be honored or offended that an Andorian of one of the more-male sexes was checking me out. Chief Alce'a is..."

: : : Brendon trailed off trying to think of what to say. After a beat, he settled on his words. "I thought I was tall, but she towers a bit over me. Kind of intimidating, if you ask me.

: : : "You look great, by the way," he added before taking another drink.

: : : Stone/Security

: : She smiled some before shaking her head. "Well, you know what they used to say about the Navy," she said with a hint of laughter in her voice as she settled into her chair. "And Doc Kracko seems like he's got all kinds of stories with as long as he's been in Starfleet." She lapsed into silence for a moment, thinking what he'd said over a little. "This might be a little personal but... what -are- your preferences in that regard?"

: "Honestly," Brendon answered with little hesitation, "to each his or her own. I've only dated women. I was seeing someone back on Earth before I shipped out, but it was casual and we parted on the term that if we find someone while we're apart that there'd be no harm done."
:
: Taking another sip, Brendon wondered if it was too early to play the single and available card. Before giving it a second thought he asked, "What about you?"
:
: Stone - Sharp Dressed Security Man.

"I see. Well... I did have a little fun when at the Academy, but nothing permanent, nothing major or spectacular, " she said. "So nobody waiting for me at home or anything."
