Reva gracefully slid onto the barstool next to Lucas Mason. Leaning forward on her elbows she called out to the bartender. “Tall glass of pineapple juice please” he ordered.

Turning her head to the side he smiled at Mason; “A little late to be drinking and eating alone don’t you think Lieutenant."

Surprised at the interruption, Lucas Mason turned and looked at who interrupted him. The woman wore the grey of an Intel Officer and the pips of a full Lieutenant. After sizing her up, Mason replied, "When you're off duty, one can eat when ever one wants. As for the lack of company, that could easily be remedied. What's with the pineapple juice, not one for the harder stuff?"

Reva absent mindedly stirred her drink and smirked in response to the criticism of her drinking habits.

“Thank you for the invitation to join you. I have to admit the food looks good and I am feeling a little hungry.” Sitting up straight in her chair she beckoned once more to the bar staff and ordered “I’ll have what he’s having”.

“By the way I am Reva Madhava, pleasure to meet you”.

Mason noted how she deftly ignored his jab about the pineapple juice.

"Lieutenant Mason," he replied. "When did you come aboard?"

She grinned as she glanced from him to her drink as it arrived then back to him. "I came aboard while you were getting held over the fire like a piece of meat on a spit."

"Ah, yeah. That wasn't too fun. I felt my career flashing before my eyes while on the stand." It was then that he noticed the time. "I have duty in an hour, I should get going. Nice to meet you." He stood up and left the establishment.

Reva looked dismayed at the sudden departure. "Well that's a first..." she said quietly.

A woman working the bar reached over to take the, now absent officers glass and plate. "What's that Lieutenant?"

"Well being an Orion I have NEVER had a man...especially a human...cut and run on me in mid conversation like that."

She smiled and shrugged. "Maybe you scared him off?"

After pursing her lips slightly. "Must have...cause it now where near time for shift change." Taking a sip from her juice she grinned, thinking to herself. ~I might just have to pay him a visit some time.~
