Jamie turned around to the sound of approaching feet. What he saw was that Fleet Commander Vorik and Copilot Lera were approaching. His eyes softened as they lingered on Lera as she came closer.
Lera was wringing her hands in agitation. Seeing her hands, he wondered if Vorik forced her to come. Jamie worried that she might not want him. He could feel the bond pulling him toward her.
The two aliens stopped in front of Jamie. "May we speak to you two?" Commander Vorik asked as he glanced between him and Alice.
Jamie, taking a chance, stretched out his hand to Lera, offering his hand. "Walk with me?" he asked, a soft smile on his lips.
Lera blushed a darker shade of green as she took his hand shyly.
Fleet Commander Vorik looked uncomfortable, not sure what to do. Alice had shown no interest in him as of yet. He wasn't sure if she would ever.
Alice suddenly sighed loudly and stretched out her hand, offering it to Vorik. "We might as well go too."
