Mission: Operation: Risa!
Location: USS Bonne Chance, Deck Five corridors
Timeline: 2265

As Charybdis scrambled back up the access ladders to Deck Five, hoping to catch Patrick before they had to be on duty, she tucked the smuggled rations from the mess hall into her top and chuckled at the morning's events. Yuna hung over had certainly been interesting... fencing with Fiona had actually been fun and interesting, and it had been good to see the shy and self-effacing helmsman come out of her shell a bit.

Watching her dodge Yuna had been quite entertaining, and Char was pleased that the Caitan had been willing to spar with her. She definitely did not understand many of the cues and behaviors of the alien feline, but she seemed sweet enough, she just lacked confidence to the science officer's eye. She almost seemed afraid of Charybdis at times, and while she tried cajoling and nudging the brilliant but shy officer along, she wasn't sure if she was succeeding appropriately.

Remembering the tactic she'd used to win their sparring match, she laughed aloud. That was by far one of the most unconventional assaults she'd ever encountered, and it has taken her so completely by surprise it had worked masterfully. She would not have expected that from Patrick in a sparring match, let alone the shy and retiring Selune.

That look in Selune's eyes right before she had closed them, once the young woman had taken hold of her waist as she'd moved in certainly was... Charybdis shook her head. Nahhh... that was just silly.

Brilliant maneuver. Phenomenal surprise tactic. Something she herself would have to try someday on someone unsuspecting, to be certain. Cutest dirty trick in the book, and she would be chuckling over it for days. She paused before the door to the Captain's quarters, considering... she was going to tell him about it, because it was funny and he would laugh.

Or would he?

That look on Selune's face... that stammering, shy, hiding in her hair look... nahhh. Obviously Char was just misreading the alien was all... her xenocultural understanding of the young girl's behavior was just off, that was all.

Or was it...?

Nahhh...
