â€œI canâ€™t say that I am.â€Eric said moving himself away from the wall to place his hand on his head in confusion. He was relieved that she wasnâ€™t getting punished because of him but as he was standing out in the hall he had been wondering what it was that got them promoted in the first place. Shaking the thought from his head he gave Kat a big smile. â€œI want to be the first to say, congratulations!â€ he said and bowed one hand across his stomach the other around his back. He held that pose for a moment or two before he straightened up.<br/><br/>He didnâ€™t have his pin yet because he hadnâ€™t finished cleaning out the sub-levels but that would come sooner rather than later he hoped. He took a big breath and looked around not quite sure what to do. There were a million things he wanted to do but he had to get that cleaning done but then again he wanted to celebrate with Kat since they would be working together. Finally making up his mind he said, â€œWould you be willing to go out for a little celebratory congratulations from me?â€<br/><br/>Quickly reeling back from the self consciousness that he felt he said, â€œif not I could always, head to the sub-levels and get started on my workâ€¦.uhhâ€¦it is going to be such a pain.â€ Wincing, he mentally hit himself for saying that last part, especially since they were right in front of the captainâ€™s office.<br/><br/>The captain smiled silently in his office as he watched Kat leave, â€œThey are going to be alright.â€ He said shaking his head instantly as he heard what Eric said. â€œIâ€™m not too sure about Eric though.â€  The captain said silently to himself.<br/><br/>(sorry for such a short post.
