JEDCJT Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Aaron would have a time prying the woman away from her book, but it might be...interesting to watch, to say the least.She shrugged. "Well, not much to tell, really. I enlisted when the laws were passed that allowed women to do so, took the required time in ann army boot camp, so I'd at least know the basics of fighting in case we're ever boarded, and, well, here I am." Jed raised an eyebrow as he smirked. "Boot camp? Gosh, I'd better watch my step here." He joked, winking. The former Prime Minister glanced to his side and almost suppressed a chuckle of laughter. Aaron was trying to flirt with the woman, without much success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The former Prime Minister glanced to his side and almost suppressed a chuckle of laughter. Aaron was trying to flirt with the woman, without much success. She laughed, a high, almost tinkling sound. "Yeah, as I said, boot camp is a requirement. Doesn't matter what branch of the military you intend to join, you are at least required to know the basics." She also looked over at Aaron's attempts at flirting. They were indeed having little success, because after every answer to any question or comment he made (and that answer was always as short as humanly possible, the crewwoman returned to the book.

Finally, Aaron did get the hint, and asked her about the book he was reading. Meanwhile, Jed smirked and shook his head. Locking eyes with Laurel, Jed smiled and opened his mouth to say something when something interrupted him. Rather, it was a certain German Shepherd. Barking cheerfully, his tail wagging happily, Henry ran toward Jed, rubbing his head into his master's side. "Henry! How're ya, buddy?" Jed grinned as he petted the dog's head. Turning to Laurel, Jed grinned. "Oh, I forgot to mention this. Laurel, this is my dog, Henry. Henry, this is my beautiful friend, Laurel." Henry tilted his head and barked cheerfully as if in 'approval'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other woman, less annoyed now that Aaron had asked about something she was interested in, was about to answer him when she heard the dog barking. She blinked when she saw Henry. "What's a DOG doing on a naval ship?" she asked, evidently confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Oh, But I still don't get it. Why is he here? Shouldn't he be in your quarters?" At that moment, the captain entered. Every crew member stood to attention, until he said "as you were," at which point they returned to their seats. The woman with whom Aaron had been trying to flirt with still stared at Jed, waitng for an answer. She got it in the form of the Captain. "Sorry, but he slipped by me when I tried to leave your quarters. He'll need to be kept there most of the time anyway." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that Henry's been sneaking out." He joked as he patted the dog's head. Henry barked softly as if in protest. Turning to the Captain, Jed smiled. "Ah, I realize that.

"D***, not another drill," she grumbled, but she scrambled up noetheless. "Please go to your quarters and stay there 'till the all-clear is sounded," she said to Jed and Aaron. "And make sure Henry goes with you." The woman Aaron had been trying to flirt with was already gone, from the moment the alarm sounded.

It was great meeting with you, Laurel." He smiled as he stood up and held out his hand to shake her's. Henry barked softly. The former Prime Minister turned to a pouting Aaron. "Hey, bro. Have any success with that woman?" He smirked, already knowing the answer. Aaron stuck his tongue out. "Shut up."

He said, sarcastically as he began to walk toward his quarters, Henry tagging alongside him. "Hey!" Aaron protested as he followed his brother. "It's not my fault she was engrossed in that book!"

Indeed, it had been a drill. Laurel sought out the Captain. "Sir, permission to speak?" "This isn't the Army, Ms Asire. As long as we're not in battle, you are free to address me whenever I am not actively giving an order." "Yes sir! Anyway, sir, I wanted to know...where our guests are staying?"

Jed chuckled and patted the dog on the head as he got up. Stretching a bit, he walked over to the door and opened it. His heart gave a flip as he saw who it was. It was Laurel. Jed grinned. "Hi Laurel." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
