[Jenna, XO's Quarters]
Stepping in the door Thomas found Jenna sitting at his darkened workstation. "Didn't expect you to be awake yet," he remarked.
She shruggged. Thomas had been in a good mood ever since he'd been promoted to Executive Officer. She couldn't blame him and she was trying to be equally excited but his promotion just happened to have occurred shortly after the death of her best friend. "I couldn't sleep any more," the Mizarian responded.
He placed a kiss on her cheek and a hand on her shoulder while twisting the workstation to face him. He briefly reviewed it before gazing around the room and sitting beside her. "The Executive suite might be overwhelming but this place lacks the feel of home."
Apollo had come near and put his head on her knee. She patted it gently, looking down on him and not really paying any attention to room. "You'll warm up to it over time," she suggested. "It just takes time," she added in a mumur, recognizing the double meaning of the expression.
"What are your plans for leave?" she asked. They hadn't talked about doing anything together. Originally she'd have plans to go to Planet B501 with V'tora but, obviously, those plans were a thing of the past.
