'How's the fit? Do you like the uniform? I have to say, you look really good in Centauri colours. And congratulations on the temporary promotion, we'll get that sorted out later,' Xavier smiled at Ulie, looking her up and down in the uniform. The gaze wasn't lecherous but it was certainly evident that he liked what he saw.Ulie blushes slightly under his gaze, as Sana gives a bored nod of dismissal. Heading out, Ulie looks around wide eyed, seeming genuinely interested in the interior of a warship, since she's never been on the crew of anything larger than a patrol boat.

I was a bit stressed by command, so doting on you was a welcome distraction from that. And, you strike me as a sweet lady, so I'd naturally want to protect you.'
'I'm afraid I can't join you for lunch right now, though, I have to get a few things sorted and do my duty as admiral,' Xavier said, 'Maybe you'd like to join me for dinner in my quarters later? We still have to figure out what you'll do on-board but that can wait for now.'
