Roman headed upstairs and peeked into his own quarters, and then seeing it was empty besides Pipkin, he went and knocked quietly on Rand’s door. Most of the work in the lab had been paperwork and reports, though Roman and Franks had also gone and looked at a few things around the lab. Tomorrow was going to be a long day, getting caught up on everything. Tonight, he’d just gone over it other Franks.

Rand heard the knock and a smile lit up her face - only one person knocked on the door like that. She bounded up off the bed and answered the door. Still in uniform, it was not quite so pristine after long day, stockinged feet, and her hair half out of it’s bun where she’d flopped onto the bed and had no idea it had gotten messed up, still smiling. “Hi.” She thought he looked less aggravated now. “You manage to get anything done with Franks jabbering about all his ideas?”

Roman leaned on the doorway like he sometimes did, passing his crutch back and forth between his two hands idly. He smiled, he could hear her footsteps rush toward the door, and his smile widened when the door opened. He had worn a uniformed shirt that day, and he looked a lot more like his usual self, his hair brushed neatly and his uniform spotless. But despite his own perfection, Rand’s messiness after a long day was cute. “We managed to review most everything from the last week, there’s a little more to tackle tomorrow,” he said, “I hadn’t realized how late it was, or I’d have been here sooner.”

Rand grinned, she couldn’t help it, a whole week off duty plus 3 days away on a landing team and the first thing he did was paperwork. She must be rubbing off on him. Of course he would review everything first. He needed to know what was going on before he could delve in. She was sure he had spent a little bit of time with Mushu. The little lizard had been transfixed on him. Of course she wasn’t sure how much of the paper work actually got reviewed. Franks was rather enthusiastic. When she’d helped him, he’d gone on and on and on about it all. Rand was lost 5 minutes in. “It’s okay, I’m glad you were able to get some things done. And now I’m finished for the day.” Then she realized he was just standing there, on his leg. “Oh, you probably want to get off your leg and Pipkin probably wants out.” Glancing down at her uniform, “Umm…let me change. Do you want to eat?” Of course he did that was a stupid question and he probably didn’t want to walk all the way back down the galley. “I’ll get food…ummm I mean if you want me to.” She was flustered and not sure why - she was just happy to see him, but she’d seen him a couple hours ago…she was being silly, honestly she needed to take a breath, but he was grinning at her like that again.
