Séan was resting in his newly appointed quarters. It was a lot different than being on board a ship. The sounds and just the feeling left him unable to sleep and a little bit restless. With a sigh he swung his legs off the bed and sat up, his uncovered torso and arms stretched to get out the kinks. He wanted to get out of this stuffy feeling room and explore the area a bit but he didn’t want to be the obvious and oblivious newcomer either. Would asking anyone to accompany him be acceptable when he doesn’t really know anyone? His superior seemed nice enough and with them both being in the same field they had plenty of common topics to talk about. It probably wouldn’t hurt to ask as she could always say no if it wasn’t appropriate. With that thought in mind he got up from the bed, moved over to the desk, and gave Mika a video call. It had slipped his mind that it was a video call and that he was currently shirtless however.

Mika sat in her quarters, reading one of her old medical textbooks. She wore a cute set of pajamas: a black tank top and pajama shorts. When she heard her PaDD “ringing” alerting her to a video call, she headed over, fluffing her hair a little bit, set up the PaDD and answered the call.

When the call connected, she was greeted by Séan.... ohmygods he’s shirtless, he’s not wearing a shirt, wow, he’s fit, okay look away LOOK AWAY! She averted her gaze from the screen, cheeks bright red. “Uh, Lieutenant Iven? I think you… um, you forgot… something. Hah. Please, please put on a shirt.” She said, studying her desk intently, her eyes occasionally flicking up to the screen, then back to the desk.

Mika’s reaction and words caused Séan to look down and see that indeed he wasn’t wearing a shirt. This was a fact that had been in his brain when he first laid down to rest so why did he video call her without one on? He sighed and shook his head with embarrassment then got up and went to grab a shirt to put on. He had left the video function on, though not with any sort of intention, and called out over his shoulder as he rummaged through his duffel bag for another shirt. “I’m really sorry about that Lieutenant Mika. I honestly don’t know where my head was at when I started the call. I don’t normally call my superiors or fellow counselors while shirtless.” He chuckled at that ridiculous notion.

She peeked up and oh no his camera was still on, and he was digging around for a shirt… She studied her desk some more. “I should hope you don’t,” Mika said and then she chuckled nervously.

He finally found a shirt that looked presentable and shook it out a couple of times to get the wrinkles out. After slipping his arms into the sleeves he walked back towards the desk while he buttoned it up. He sat back in front of the screen and gave Mika a wry smile. “Again, I’m sorry about that. I’ve been having a difficult time relaxing and trying to rest. I guess my mind had just wandered off and made a fool of me in the process.”

“That’s okay… Just uh, double check next time,” Mina replied, finally looking back to the screen just as he sat down. “I’m sorry you’re having a hard time relaxing. Is something specific bothering you? Is that why you called?” She looked at the time, “It’s a little late for it to be a work call.”

~ Mika

“Uh no, not anything specific is bothering me.” Séan answered and waved a hand to dismiss that. “I realize the evening is getting later but I was thinking of going for a walk around, get some fresh air, and just kind of explore but I also don’t want to wander aimlessly or by myself. So I thought I’d call and see if you were free and perhaps interested in accompanying me?” He shrugged lightly as he thought of how ridiculous this sounded especially after calling Mika shirtless. “If it’s too late or I’m bothering you during your off time I completely understand.”

Counselor Iven

Mika chuckled. “Don’t know anyone else yet, huh?” She sighed softly, she was supposed to be getting out more. She had literally told a patient not to hole themselves up inside and wallow and what had she been doing? Exactly that.

She nodded, “Okay, why not? I’m not up to much either and we are going to work together so… Might as well get to know you?” She smiled, “meet me outside the complex in say… Ten minutes?”

~ Mika

“Perfect.” Séan said with a smile of his own. “I will see you shortly then.” He ended the call and got himself ready then headed to the meeting spot. He was a few minutes early since his preparations were simple. He was wearing the button up shirt that he had put on earlier and it was a dark green color while he was wearing a dark blue pair of pants and simple black shoes.
