"Admete, I am more of a traditionalist but I will keep it safe," he said to her with a light smile. "Just remember, I have something aboard Med Force One that I wish to return to you. That is my word to you."
With breakfast finished and the return to work close at hand, they began a walk to where they would part ways and prepare to go about their duties. He was at ease with her and felt an attraction to her. Midori did, after all, tell him that it was OK. Small talk and a few chuckles along the way made for a good start of the day. They finally arrived where her shuttle was docked. At the moment, they were the only two there. The base in Baffin had a small staff so it wasn't uncommon.
"Listen," he said gently, his hand on the wall as he leaned on it. He had her between them. "I am but a comm call away and we can always meet again elsewhere. There are, after all, better places than a ship or base to get together."
He could tell her skin was settling nicely as he caught her natural scent. He tried to hide his like of it. He just nodded his approval, "I too would like a second date but you might want to put on a better shirt for work. It is amusing but I think your fellow staff may find it unprofessional."
Finally, he gave in. He leaned in and kissed her on the forehead. It was all he dared at the time. Still leaning on the wall, he just said to her, "I will see you somewhere in the universe."
