“Executive Officer, guess that’s me, huh?” Dira said with a wicked grin. “I’ve got my work cut out for me, so with your permission, I’m going to go find my new office and see about settling in.” As much as it would be an intense amount of work getting the ships and crew ready for deployment, Dira was decidedly excited about it.

“I guess that means social hour is over.” She smiled and bowed her head respectfully to the two women. “I shall head to the Security Department to start briefings, but shall I escort you to your office first Commander?” Her wink as she passed by Myqian was flirtatious but her standing was all on duty security head by the time she reached the turbolift.

The tiny smile slipped onto her lips before Dira could throw up her placid mask. Oh that woman was going to test her, wasn’t she? It was a terrible fun, though.
“Have fun you two. Try not to get lost.” Willow grinned at both retreating officers. She jumped however as Ensign Charlie appeared at her elbow, from nowhere it seemed, with PaDDs to sign.

COMyqian gave Willow a lopsided smirk. “We have a lot to organize and we both need to eat. Working dinner later?”

Willow nodded absently from the PaDDs she was reading. “That sounds like a plan…” she paused and looked at Charlie. “I am not signing off on thirty tons of Diablo sauce. No.” She handed a PaDD back to the Cheshire grinning (a phrase with a totally new meaning for the owie crew) Ensign and looked at Dira. “20:00 too late?”

CODira shook her head. “No, tonight’s going to be a late one. Pacing myself meal-wise,” she said with a grin. “Have fun settling in and enjoy the new space.”
Willow waved a hand in a parting gesture and turned her attention to the PaDDs clamouring for her signature.
With a bow of her head to Willow, Dira slipped out of the ready room and caught up with Zoi. “That was exceptionally cheeky of you,” she whispered to the COS.

Zoil grinned as Dira’s voice reached her ears as she passed through the door exiting the Main Bridge and entering the short corridor that led to the XO’s Office on one side and the conference room on the other. Even as she heard the automatic doors shut behind the XO, she had to keep herself restrained from taking advantage of this private moment for the two of them. It would toe a bit too close to the line of professionalism she valued and thought Dira did as well. Instead she turned to walk backwards the last few steps, taking in the other woman’s visage for a long moment with lust in her eyes before she shook her head.
Dira turned to Zoi, as if entirely aware she was being watched. Her expression said also that she didn’t mind.
“I suppose we should at some point… discuss when we should tell the Captain about this.” To Zoi, it wasn’t an “if” situation. She was falling for Dira at a pace that was, for her, unprecedented and there was a part of her that was scared of that. She wasn’t scared of telling the Captain however. Anything that might potentially have an effect on the ship was something she wouldn’t keep from the captain.

“I’m seeing her for dinner tonight,” she said softly with a slight shrug. Disclosure was going to be necessary, one because of the rules, and two because they worked so closely together. Willow deserved the information brought to her early rather than hearing by hearsay later. Dira smiled. “We’re being discreet until such point as we both decide otherwise. But the captain should know sooner rather than later. If you’re okay with it, I can bring it up with her. We have a emerging trust but I don’t want to do anything that might jeopardize that. Consider it buying us both some goodwill with Taylor.”

Zoi thought about the idea that they would be making it official to the Captain tonight and there was a pause for a moment, not because she minded anyone knowing for official reasons but because this was new and important to her. She wanted to keep the concept of them together for the two of them only for a bit longer. Yet she knew the Captain needed to be told. Dira’s words were sound. Finally she nodded and smiled softly. “Agreed.”
She stopped and held her hands out for Dira’s. “Official it is then, though I would be glad of privacy for a bit longer to the rest of the crew.”
