She smiled and chuckled and said "Ahh I see" she said smiling at him. She headed into the mess and picked up a tray so that she could pick up some food.
"Seems like we managed to find two very special young ladies then." Bones spoke gently and sweetly. He liked that she was confident enough to talk to him without the usual shy bowings and scrapings.
He too had gone on eating, slowly realising he cared for the girl more than he should do. Still he held back, he could wait and see what happened later, much later perhaps.
Adrianna finished her meal and stood up to put her tray away before she joined him again. Soon Elise walked into the mess and spotted her from the crowd and came bounding over to them with a big smile on her face.
Adrianna looked at her and they were soon in a one sided discussion about the engineering deck and how advanced the technology was.
As Elise and Adrianna were talking Bones finished up his food and carried his tray over to the cleaning area, glad to hand it in and return to the desk, looking over at Adrianna and smiling a little, wondering what was coming next.
