Back to Derilyn? Something must be up...

Zinda peered around the edge of the door and hoped against hope she wouldn't meet anyone in the corridor. She had been really excited when one of the older pilots had told her that after this latest battle there should at last be time for a sacred and ancient tradition of TIE pilots. Unfortunately for Zinda, that tradition turned out to be hazing pilots who were on their first deployment. Which is how she'd found herself wearing some kind of golden metallic bikini-they'd swiped her clothes while she was taking a shower-and acting as the older pilot's servant for the day. They'd sent her down to get them meals from the galley. She did not want to run into anyone while she looked like this, but with 174 people on a small ship, there wasn't much chance of that. She only hoped her friends would avoid whatever fun the older pilots had planned for them.

He was surprised to se a young woman wearing a shiny golden two piece affair unlike anything he had seen in many years. She was looking the other way and his appearance behind her seemed to startle her and make her uncomfortable. He pulled his jacket off and offered it to her  Looks quite uncomfortable to be going around in that. I'm headed to the junior officers cabin area for lunch, I can escort you that far if you like. The Name is Eoghen [pronounced Owen].

He escorts the young lady wrapped in his jacket back to the junior officers  quarters and to her cubby. He then stands outside to ensure she isn't bothered any more.

I will stand watch if you wish, while you change.

A gaggle of marines squeeze by; enlisteds, who all know that they need to keep quiet...till you pass, then muted chuckles...

As tense as she is, Zinda jumps a mile when Eoghen comes up behind her. "Eeeeek!" That was a mistake; the last thing she needed was more attention. She whirls around and blushes as she realizes another officer is behind her. "Sorry for the shriek " she manages to squeak out. But it was even worse than this, since he was clearly an officer and she didn't recognize him. She could not have chosen a worse time to meet a new officer. “I… I’m Zinda. Umm, in spite of what it looks like, I’m one of the TIE pilots” she introduces herself shyly. “I... I don't normally dress like this” she adds lamely.
The offer of his jacket was very gallant and set Zidna's heart aflutter. "That's very kind, sir." Actually, she didn't know if he qualified as a sir, since he probably didn't outrank her, but it was impossible for Zinda to think about her rank when she was dressed up like a Hutt’s slavegirl. “Well, I was just heading down to the galley to get lunch for some of the senior officers. If you’d escort me, I’d be grateful.”
She turns around, embarrassed, when she hears the marine’s chuckles behind her. That draws a further blush when she realizes Kenth is there. The opinion of the marines didn’t really matter, but Kenth was her flightmate and she cared a lot what he thought of her. “Umm, hi, Kenth. This is Eoghen. He’s new” she says awkwardly, as though that were the only unusual thing about the situation.

Kenth, good to meet you, new here as a Tie fighter pilot, hopefully we can chat some, but now I think I need to get this young lady to some clothes, the golden bunny look is lovely but will cause a lot of trouble if not fixed.


Lead on Zinda, let's get you safely to your berth.
