<div align="center"><strong>~ Mae Little aka "MeiMei"- in the Cargo Bay waiting for debriefing before going planet side onto Persephone ~</strong></div><br/><br/>Her skin warmed from the simple touch of Vincent's hand as it slid across her body. To others it might have been seen as an innocent gesture, but to Mae it was a step in the right direction.<br/><br/><strong>"Well, now that that's taken care of, shall we head out and enjoy our evening?" </strong><br/><br/>Mae had to bite the inside of her cheek to keep from moaning out loud and in doing so she flinched, her expression taking on that of a soft pout. Rubbing the wall of her cheek with her tongue, Mae let its pink tip sweep across her lip before smiling and nodding her agreement as she artfully shifted closer to the object of her affection, stirring the butterflies that danced in her stomach from a low flutter to a blustery tango.<br/><br/>She turned slightly in Vincent's arms in order to press her body against his in what she hoped would be a subtle invitation for him to read without alerting the rest of the crew. Raising a single hand, Mae fluttered her eyelashes in a playful manner, trailing her nail along the landscape of his body in tiny circles. It was an action meant in a light hearted teasing fashion. Had she not suffered an untimely loss of a lash that caused the young vixen to curse under her breath and drawing her flutter into a battle that became more desperate by the second, she might have managed it. Add that along with the addition of her finger working out the unwelcome invasion, the mood might have remained the way it had been intended. Instead, like most things that she did, it came off as comical. Taking in a deep breath, Mae squared her shoulders and attempted to recapture the flirtatious mood of only moments before and replied using her best come-hither tone. "I'm up for a night of sinful adventure if you are! Show me all the hot spots Vinnie! I want to dance the night away! Let's throw out the rule book and get wild!” As Mae spoke she brought the devilish lash that had caused her so much trouble, which now rested surrendering on the tip of her finger, up to Vincent's lips and whispered "make a wish.”<br/><br/>Mae was almost purring as she stood next to Vincent, his arm wrapped around her tightly, their bodies closer than they had ever allowed before. It was all she could do to keep from pulling his face down to meet hers and capturing his lips in a kiss that he would never forget. The reminder that they were not alone came in the form of a warning sounded by Simeon Gaorong. Reluctantly Mae dragged her eyes from Vincent to acknowledge the speaker as he suggested that her planet side escort keep an eye on her, should she be tempted to relocate to another crew. She took in the quiet form of Dani, the ships medic, as she stood near to Si quietly observing the goings on before repling "Just the Captain Si? You wouldn't miss me at all? Not even a tiny bit? I'm sure Dani would miss me, wouldn't you Dani?” her cheeky smile was that of playful child conversing with a favourite uncle and beloved older sister. Mae was happy to be part of this crew and in many ways each member found a place in her new family. Even those she didn't see eye to eye with. She still respected each and every one of them, even if she didn't always show it.<br/><br/>Mae's attention fell once again upon the man that had her heart racing; she turned to center her gaze upon Vincent as he responded to Simeon's request, his playful words bringing another layer of hope to dance in her crisp green eyes as she stared into his teasing delightful orbs.<br/><br/><strong>"You heard the man, Si has given me explicit orders to ogle you throughout the evening. Those had been my intensions all along, but now any negative repercussions can be redirected at him."</strong><br/><br/>A girlish giggle bubbled along her throat and vibrated from her tongue as Mae smiled, openly flirting with the ships handsome copilot. "What if the repercussions are undeniably positive? Should I redirect those repercussions towards Si as well?” Exhilarated from the optimistic feelings that flooded her mind and body, Mae couldn't hold back the enamoured grin that tugged at the corners of her mouth. Her green eyes darkened and danced and frolicked with amorous affection as she cocked her head to one side, causing her hair to sweep across his fingers that were currently burning their mark on her skin, while she tossed him a sassy wink. "Only I have a feeling they would better serve someone more...willing to accept them.”<br/>
