Danielle was glad that she was holding onto his hand. For one, the two of them flew through hallways, down staircases and through more hallways at such a speed, the moment one or the other tripped on something, their hands would be separated. For another reason, much more personal that the first, she actually enjoyed this hand that was holding hers. It kept a good grip on her so that they were always together, no matter how fast or efficient Tristyn navigated the many hallways and staircases in the ship. It also was gentle, not like the hand of a asshole who she thought Tristyn was through and through.<br/><br/>Their pace slowed and Danielle realized that both of them breathed heavily. He went so fast that Danielle had no time to catch her breath. The only things she could do was protect her lens and to hold on for dear life. She had managed to do both and not get lost in the process. The one thing she noticed was even though their pace slowed to a walking pace, Tristyn never let go of her hand. As her breathing got normal, she couldn't help but stared at the hand that held hers. It felt right and she didn't at all get the idea to pull her hand free.<br/><br/>They stopped at a door, but Danielle didn't bother to respond to his childlike phrasing. To say something was 'cool,' reminded her of her pre-adolescent cousins. That and the hand, made her feel like she was in grade school, though then, she was too shy to have a boyfriend. So this is what that feels like, she said to herself. Even when Tristyn let go of her hand to knock on the door, she clutched the hand that was held to her chest, as if it was a prized possession. Yes, the feeling that linger was 'just right.'<br/><br/>Moments passed before someone answered the door and after introductions and greetings were exchanged they were through the door. As per the man's instructions, she took off her camera and set it on a table near the door. She then followed Tristan into the room, where he then introduced her to the nuclear reactor room. Never had she been this close to a reactor before and this was a sight to behold. It's no wonder why you can't Google 'aircraft carrier nuclear reactor' and expect to find a decent picture of it. Still, it was amazing to think that out of all the civilians being led on tours higher up on the ship, she was here in the 'belly of the beast,' as they say. She listened to how Tristyn gave a lesson about how the engine worked, from the superheated rods and the water that made the steam and other thing he wanted to add. All in all, Danielle enjoyed his lesson and it brought a slight smile to her face.<br/><br/><strong>"It's cool. Thank you, for doing this,"</strong>she said, then turned around finding that they were alone in the room.<strong>"You know, for taking time out of your day to show me around the ship. I'm sorry for being an annoyance to you. I realize that you help to run a tight ship and I didn't respect you properly."</strong>
