<snip>He scoffed, “Oh no way, I mean I was a little nervous but I was genuinely busy. I am a workaholic and get carried away, but I’m starting to find that you may be worth finishing work for” He chocked on his next mouthful and then “Sorry, was that to cheesy?” He coughed a couple more times using his none-holding hand to cover his mouth.

Runa blushed at the compliment, and it would be obvious to Oliver this time, that his words were what caused it because it was immediate before he could continue speaking. She smiled and squeezed his hand slightly. “It’s only cheesy if you didn’t mean it.” Runa had never had a problem creating conversation with people and was embarrassed that she seemed to be unable to put two words together. She ate her desert for a few minutes. “I don’t mind you’re a workaholic, Oliver. It says a lot about your character how dedicated you are.” It had been just for fun, but he’d put the same focus into the holodeck program as he did his work. Whatever he was doing he put all his effort into it and Runa liked that. “Besides I’m the same way. Being a teacher can be all consuming as well sometimes.”
As their conversation continued Oliver found himself relaxing more and more into the scene, his hand holding hers, the way she blushed whenever he gave her a compliment and simply how natural everything seemed, plover could get used to the feeling that was storing inside of him.
They were almost done with the desert and Runa admitted to herself she was disappointed. She wasn’t ready for Oliver to leave, now that they were getting to spend time together and talk. She hoped he’d stay longer.
Runa Edman“I’m stuffed, I don’t even think I could walk right now” He said with a smile and chuckle, perhaps it was the lamest excuse to stay a little bit longer but he didn’t want this evening to end. “Maybe we could do this again?” He asked, this time thinking he was the one being forward.

Runa smiled, “Well I’m certainly not going to make you move, but if you are that full you might be more comfortable on the couch.” She stacked the dishes with one hand, and then reluctantly let go of his hand so she could clear the table. She returned to wherever he had chosen to sit and sat down next to him. She wasn’t sure if she should, but because she wanted to, she took his hand again. Casting around for a way to continue the conversation, “My sister tells me that the crew lost some kind of reward cake, and the captain is sending some people to go get it back. Revna has conscripted me to help her distract the docking port officers.” She glances at him and then away, seemingly unsure. “I could use Calico Jack to help with our little plundering adventure.”

Having moved to the coach and initially feeling as if he was missing her company he was glad she chose to sit down next to him again and to take his hand, he offered his left hand and with his right reach around to hold her around the shoulder, drawing her into him. It seemed natural and though his heart and ears were fiercely beating he knew it was the right thing to do. “Well I think people would notice an 18th Century pirate walking around, but you could enlist the aid of Oliver Loughty” he offered.
