Mission: Mission 2 - Love ORION Mistaken
Location: Mess Hall

Xenia strode down the corridor, more awake than she should have been. Hungrier as well. Which was why she was making a beeline for the mess hall. Not quite a midnight snack, but close enough, she expected only to see the night owls when she was down there. As she reached the door, though, it opened just before she had expected it to, and the reason why came pouring out, stumbling. Xenia reached out and caught the green woman on her way to the ground. "Whoa! You alright there?"

Vivyra smiled warmly at Xenia, who could feel a rush of lust rise in her. Vivyra herself, had escaped for a midnight snack. For once, Jane was sleeping and she got to explore the ship on her own. She could not understand why she had to be escorted all the time. It was hardly fair. She meant nobody any harm. "I'm perfectly fine. How are you?" the Orion asked concerned. "You're looking a little red in the cheeks."

Was it any wonder? The woman standing in front of her was stunning! Xenia smiled in return, certain she could read something in the Orion's eyes. "I'm better now," she said slyly, taking a step closer. "If you're the reason this ship is all in a tissy, I can certainly see why now." She felt warm all over, and it seemed to be coming from the other woman.

"Why?" Vivyra asked innocently. "I'm just me."

"Uh huh." The human said, positive the innocent routine was just that, a routine. "You haven't notice people falling all over themselves when you're around?"

"They DOOOoo?" Vivyra asked shocked. Her eyes grew larger. "Surely, you're kidding me!"

Xenia chuckled, positive it was an act now. "I must be," she said as she moved past the other woman, brushing up against her. "But I'm sure you know the truth. Meanwhile, I'm grabbing a drink. Care to?" The brunette walked the short distance to the bar, hips swaying. "Bourbon, neat,"she said to the bartender.

The bartender raised his eyes at Xenia but said nothing other than "Coming right up."

Vivyra watched Xenia approvingly and then strutted up to her, draping her arm around Xenia's shoulder and then allowing her hand to trace across the back as she lowered herself on a seat next to her. "What do you think that I should have?" she asked Xenia.

The brunette closed her eyes briefly as green fingers drew lightliy across her skin. She hadn't anticipated that when she put on the spaghetti strap top. But she sat back a moment and eyed the Orion up and down. If the woman thought it was to assess her drink recommendation, so be it. "Depends. Do you prefer sweet or saucy?"

"Yes!" Vivyra replied, her eyes alight. She let her tongue trail across her upper lip and then her lower one in anticipation of having something delicious, whether that was the drink or Xenia remained to be determined.

Xenia laughed. "Are you saying you have no preferences?" Whether she was talking about drinks or not now was up to whoever was listening. But her bourbon arrived, and she looked at the bartender again. "Thank you. A Bourbon Old Fashioned for the lady, please." Xenia finished with a wink for the man.

"I'm saying that I enjoy a plethora of things," Vivyra replied smartly. She cocked her head when she heard the drink order that Xenia made for herself. "What is this drink and why is it called old fashioned?" the Orion asked curiously.

Xenia held her own drink up. "Mine is just a bourbon, a Terran aged distilled spirit. The one I ordered you is bourbon mixed with syrum and either lemon or orange, depending on where you go. See? Sweet and saucy." She grinned over her glass as she sipped her drink.

The bartender brought back the Old Fashioned. It was mixed with lemon. Vivyra took a large gulp of it. She coughed and said, "Perhaps I should have sipped it?"

Xenia laughed. "Perhaps." Her giggling quieted and she stared at the other woman. She reached out and wiped a drop of the cocktail off the other woman's chin with her thumb. She then slowly brought it to her own mouth to taste it. "Mmm. Try again, but slower, and tell me what you think."

Vivyra looked directly at Xenia and then slowly tipped the glass and started sipping the liquid while she continued to stare at Xenia. After a prolonged pause, she tipped the drink down, letting the liquid and ice go back into the glass. She closed her eyes and allowed her tongue to glide lazily among her lips. Purring, she told Xenia, "Smooth, silky, and just a little bitter...." She paused, opened her eyes and happily squeaked, "But sweet!"

Xenia laughed again, amused by the Orion's enthusiasm. "Have you really never had any cocktail before?" She looked at the bartender, "I'll take an Old Fashioned myself, please."

"No, but I'd rather have other things," she told Xenia, draping an arm lazily around Xenia's shoulder and neck. Xenia could feel the heat radiating from herself. The Orion was the sexiest creature she had ever seen. There was a longing for her that she needed to sate.

The pilot grinned. "I'd rather have...other things as well. We could go somewhere else. My place...or yours...?"

Vivyra thought for half a second, remembering that Jane was already in her quarters. "How about yours?" She smiled warmly at Xenia, Vivyra's face just inches from Xenia's.

Xenia's grin grew. "Done," she stated before closing the distance and pressing her lips to the green ones in front of her. She'd intended for it to just be a quick kiss, but found it incredibly hard to pull back. Only the knowledge that this probably wasn't the place for it convinced her to eventually back away. "Let's go," she said as she stood and grabbed Vivyra's hand, forgetting about the drink she'd just ordered.

Putting a hand around Xenia's waist, Vivrya allowed herself to be led away, hoping that Jane continued to sleep soundly.
