Mission: The Mentarin Effect
Location: Quarters
Timeline: current

Xavier walked into his quarters, it was a long week, a very long week, and it was not even finished. Taking advice from his new XO, he had decided to get a few hours sleep, rest, whatever he could get. Walking over to a seat, he could feel something around his waist. Within seconds he was hoisted into the air, and placed on a branch.

"We haven't had a chance to celebrate Xavier." Tal replied as she was already fully naked, although she had needed no reason to celebrate.

Xavier smiled, "Not tonight Tal, its been a long week,we can celebrate when this is over, I promise."

Tals disappointment showed, "I thought this was a big deal for you, that this was what you wanted, the Captain seat."

Xavier looked to her. She still didn't understand it all. "It is what I want, but the way I got it, was not the way I wanted it. The fleet relented and gave it to me because they felt they had no other choice."

"So you prove them wrong, it doesn't have to be on their terms. You were given several promotions due to death, and choice, on the Wellington. What makes this any different."

"Because the fleet doesn't think I deserve it, that I haven't had the proper entorship to do it. Because I chose to stay on one ship prior to this and was mentored by one and only one Captain."

Tal paused a moment. "That is not true Xavier, you were mentored by many. Who got you ready for the XO position, the second officer position, the chief position, you were mentored by those that held the position before you. Not just the Captain. Trust me, you will not be like the Captain of the Wellington, you will not be Captain Leonard. You will be Captain Xavier Carey, you will forge your own path."

Xavier paused, kissed her and nodded. "You know you are right."

"Time to celebrate?"

Sighing, "I promise you, after this mission is over, we can celebrate however long you want. I am exhausted. I need to get back to the bridge in a few short hours."

Clearly disappointed, Tal agreed and lay on her side.

"Promise." Xavier replied stroking her tail, which was clearly slapped away. He trned to face the other way but was stopped. Smiling, he got undressed and lay down beside her holding her close. arms around her, hands cupping her breasts. Three hours would come fast.
