A way to relax

Marlee was quite familiar with the Nike layout she felt at home even if she did feel at a slight loss she would make the effort to do her job properly and not be effected by the loss of a loved one. She liked her job it was for-filling but in times of emotional distress she almost wished her mother should have taken her with and teach her daughter how to be more human. But her Vulcan mother and left to be raised by her human father abandoned as if it was fates fault.

But it wasn’t as if Marlee had no choice her father had given her the chance to be with her mother if she wished and Marlee had chosen to cut out her mother as her mother had cut out her. Marlee had lived a human life out of choice even though it was common for half Vulcan’s to choose a Vulcan existence, Marlee felt that just because she was just half Vulcan it was not compulsory that she should follow in Spock’s footprints just because she was only half Vulcan however it didn’t stop her from being curious about the culture of Vulcan’s.

She sighed to herself having finished work it was now a question of were to go now? Normally she would join her friends in 10 Forward but lately she had been avoiding her usual places to avoid being asked how she was she hated when others tried to mother her. Marlee was a tough cookie she could look after herself now she was grown up and new what was best for her or at least she thought she did. The loss of Milo still hurt inside and she hated to talk about him or bring up or even to think about him it brought on sad memories.

Marlee entered the pool area and could hear their someone else present so changed in the girls changing room and headed over to the pool she would have preferred complete emptiness but almost wasn’t bad either. Marlee approached the pools edge as if ignoring the other person in the pool and dived in gracefully their was no better way to relax then spending some time in the pool you could exercise as well at the same time. Marlee began to swim the length of the pool and then as she reached the other side turned on her back and swam back the path from which she had come in a relaxed manor. Marlee made it back to the side she had originally dived off and looked at Joe “ How often do you come here?” she asked casually thinking it was rude if she chose ignore him.

Music player in her ears, towel draped across her arm and bikini wrap around her waist, Jordyn made her way to the pool for a leisurely swim. One of the best parts about being a civilian on a ship this large was that she didn't have to be in any one place for too long. She smiled at the officers she passed along the way, in awe of their accomplishments, but she did not envy the grim expressions on their faces, nor the calls of duty emitting from their comms that pierced the stagnate air and sent many of them hurrying to their stations. No, working in 10 forward allowed for adequate leisure time and adventure, both of which she would enjoy before the ship got on its way.

Humming to her favorite tune, a hard rock mix sent to her from a friend, she slipped into the pool area and made her way to her favorite corner. There she sat her things down on a bench. Pulling a scrunchie from her wrist, she slipped it around her curls and set the bun up high, though the odd curl did slip free of its bond.

Rocking her head from side to side as the song came to an end, she grinned to herself. That would definitely go on her top ten list. Taking the headphones out of her ears, she sat then beside her towel and one after the other removed her flip flops.

How she missed the presence of two officers was beyond her, but as she turned and surveyed the pool it was to find a rather handsome man and an even gorgeous woman shoulder deep in the pool deep in conversation. She lifted her sunglasses from her eyes and sat them atop her head as she walked over to them. She neared the steps and, stopping at the top, began to remove her wrap.

"Evening officers," she said, a quaint smirk on her lips. She looked first at the woman and then her eyes trailed the short distance to the man whose eyes, if it were at all possible, were as striking as lightning. Her gaze lingered on him a moment longer before she shifted her gaze to the ground where she let her wrap drop. Now clothed in nothing but a green, one piece bathing suit, she was ready for her swim.

Taking the railing in her left hand she stepped slowly into the watery depths and turned around to descend the ladder further. Reaching the last step she pushed back into the water and began to float near by, her legs pushing aside water and her arms stretched out at her sides.

"Nothing like a good swim, eh." She winked at the man and then turned to look at the woman.

"My name's Jordyn, Jordie for short. It's nice to meet you both." She moved her arms back and forth, completely at peace to talk for a moment before partaking in her swim.

“Nice to meet you Jordie. I’m Joe. I was just getting to know our other companion as well.”

A bright smile rose to her lips. Joe--short and simple. Nothing like the man in front of her. He was anything but simple as far as she could tell.

“So, if you don’t mind my asking, what positions do you both hold on the Nike?”

Holding his gaze, she shrugged. "I'm no officer if that's what you mean," she said before smiling warmly. "I manage Ten Forward," she said swimming to his side to shorten the distance between them. "I'm pretty sure you'll be seeing a lot of me in the future. Can't say I'll be too put off by that fact," she said off handedly as she stopped by his side.

His 'other companion' drifted close by, but her inability to talk guaranteed that Jordyn lost interest in her fairly quickly.

Brushing aside her bangs she peered down at Joe and raised a brow.

"So Joe." Her smile widened. "You seem like a capable man. A high ranking officer surely. What is it that you do aboard the Nike."

She lifted her hands out of the water and let her fingertips rake across his side which would surely grab his attention. That's what she wanted of course. She was looking for a good time and being in a cute man's company seemed like a great place to start.
