Mission: Romulan Ale.. I mean Aide
Location: Alexia's Quarters
Timeline: 2015 hrs

Alexia was in her quarters reading up on all the after action reports and reports of everything that had happen since they arrived at the colony. So far everything was going swimmingly but than again that could change once the away team from the derelict ship returns with some answers.

Alexia was in a pair of white booty shorts and a pink tank top sipping on some wine when the chime to her quarters went off. "Computer who is it?"

"Who do you think?" came the curt reply with a tinge of amusement.

"I don't know......maybe the Captain with a diplomatic problem." Lexi shrugged with a smirk on her face.

Emilia stepped through the doors, "I mean really.. who else is going to show up at your quarters at this time of night?" she smirked.

"Or maybe........never mind I don't know." Lexi added giving Emilia a smile. "So what are you doing here?"

Em waves a padd above her head, "Latest intelligence on the Romulans, diplomatic flavour." she smiled and put the padd with the rest of Alexia's before flomping on the couch and unzipping her uniform tunic.

"Did you just get off duty?" Alexia asked taking a seat next to her on the couch. Eyeing the PaDD but decided to catch up with her friend first.

Emilia looked at Alex curiously, "Um.. no.. couple hours ago. Why?"

"Your still in uniform and I think I know you well enough that you try and get out of your uniform on your way to your quarters." Lexi said with a small laugh.

"I... that is... " Em started, "Not entirely factual." she frowned, "I haven't been to my quarters yet."

"So......where did you come from?" Lexi asked sounding a bit confused.

Emilia smiled sheepishly, "My office." she gave a light shrug to Alexia.

Alexia nodded, "care for some wine?" Alexia asked knowing that she either had a terribly boring day or stressful one. For her it was boring the Romulans were still paranoid of anyone to show up to give aide it was the Federation.......so she had to sit and wait until they were granted more than the medical and engineering teams planet side.

"Oh god yes. Thank you." she shrugged of the tunic and gave it a toss somewhere randomly in the room, "My brain is fried from all those reports I had to sift through today." next she begins to work on her boots.

Standing up she walked over to the replicator and got another glass of wine. "I wish I had reports to go over to keep me busy. I don't know how many times I refreshed FNNs news page today."

"Far too many I'm sure." she kicks each boot off and then lays out on the couch, wiggling her toes, "That's better."

"Good.......want to stay the night?" Alexia asked, "that way you won't have to stumble back to your quarters." She said with a small chuckle as she joined Emilia back on the couch.

Emilia lifted her feet and then promptly put them back on Alexia's lap, "Sure. Let's get stupid drunk."

"You always want to get stupid drunk and alright we always have a good time when we get stupid drunk." Alexia said standing up and again and ordering a full bottle of wine so they wouldn't have to get up and down every time they wanted a refill.

"I just enjoy seeing you drunk. You're hilarious." she smiles, sipping her wine, "And you let out some of the most interesting details."

"Wait.....what....what have I said?" Lexi said in complete shock on her face.

Em looks at her and blinks, "Whoops.. did I say that out loud?" she sips her wine slowly to avoid speaking further. At least until the glass is empty.

Lexi just eyed Em trying to figure out what she might've let slip while totally shit faced. Taking a sip of her wine, "so anything interesting on the reports for the Romulans?"

"I dunno.. it's diplomatic stuff. You tell me." she replied, thankful for the change in subject and visibly relaxing. She put down her now empty wine glass since she downed it all.

"Downside of the colony location and what's going on in the Empire. All the reports are just talking about the civil war......I've even gone back in the database to see if I could find when the colony was even settled and I can't find anything." Lexi said with a small frown on her face.

Emilia nodded, "It's a problem. Know what else is a problem?" she paused for effect, "We're talking about work."

"Right......." Lexi said pouring Em some more wine. "So let's talk about what I say when I'm drunk!" Lexi said with a small smirk knowing that wouldn't work but it was worth a try.

"I don't know what you are talking about." Em said, denying ever saying a thing. She sips her wine.. more accurately downs half of it.

Finishing her second glass Lexi poured herself another one. "So what do you want to talk about?"

"Have you eaten? I know it's late already." Em asked, finishing off her second glass as well.

"No I have not......what are you in the mood for?" Lexi said pouring another glass for Em. Starting feel a nice little buzz getting started. She always loved that feeling.

Emilia shrugged a bit, "I'm not feeling picky. Whatever you like." she picked up and started drinking the fresh glass automatically.

After they got the which of course was the best kind of drunk food which is pizza and ice cream. Lexi started just non-stop asking about what she talked about when she was drunk like she was now. Seeing as they were moving onto their fourth or was it their fifth glass of wine. "Come onnnnnnn!" Lexi whined smiling at Em.

Emilia giggled at her persistence, "I don't remember!" she said, though she probably did because half the time she looked at Lexi she smirked and giggled more.

"I think you're lying........I thought one of the tests that a intelligence officer had to pass was to hold onto information while being drunk?" Lexi said giggling as she shoved Em slightly.

Emilia almost fell of the couch with the shove. It wasn't hard but she wasn't entirely stable either, "Heh.. maybe.. what of it?" she reached back and poked Lexi in the stomach.

"Okay fine.......don't tell me!" Lexi said trying to do the silent treatment but failing miserably.

Em grinned at her and after a long pause she spoke, almost too quiet to hear, "Professor Matthews."

"No.....no......no I didn't tell you about her? I......I've never told anyone about her!" She said in complete shock, horror and embarrassment.

"Kinda did...." she said with a sympathetic smile. She topped up her wine and had another sip.

{Shit.....shit......} "How much did I tell you?" Lexi asked now completely serious.

Emilia shifted on the couch a little, feeling just a tad on the spot and nervous, "Um.. well..." she gave Lexi a small smile, "Enough... the real reason for that suspension you got." she glanced down at her hands.

{Damn't she is right I do spill all my secrets when I'm drunk.} Lexi thought, "well it was more than that.......we were supposedly an item. The nights that I wasn't in our room I was at her place."

"Yeah, I sort of put that together pretty quickly." she said, "Intelligence officer after all." Em smiled reassuringly at Lexi.

"Are you mad?" Lexi asked.

"Mad?" she looked confused for a moment, "That you didn't tell me, your single best all time bosom buddy in the entire galaxy, about any of that?" she paused for effect, "Why would I be mad?"

"To be honest I don't know.......besides it being with a professor......I've always had a crush of sorts on you........" She said leaving it hanging and her face going completely bright red, "shit......I've said too much!" She quickly stammered out.

Emilia froze and her eyes grew as big as saucers.. "I.. what?" she looked at her wine and tossed back what was left in the glass.

"Shit.....shit....I'm sorry......but." She stumbled but had no idea what to say or how to make things better or back to normal.

Em put her glass down and slid over to embrace Lexi. She knew her friend was beyond mortified she'd let something like that slip and Emilia was absolutely stumped for something to say so she just went for the soothing hug instead.

Lexi wasn't in tears but still a wreak, "I....I......I don't know why I said that." She just kept on repeating.

"Hey, relax. Just breathe." Emilia said softly, concerned that Lexi might slip into another episode like so many times before, "Focus on me."

Still in her drunken state mistook the support and looked up and quickly went in for the kiss. Hoping against hope a spark would be there and she would reciprocate the kiss.

At first Emilia wasn't really aware of what was happening and then it all came rushing into her consciousness through the alcohol induced fuzz. She pulled her head back, a look of surprise on her face, "Wait... wait.."

Em had to pause to try to collect thoughts. She was surprised and confused and a little exhilarated but through all that she was mostly worried that Lexi would bolt and sink into the worst of her episodes. In her experience there was no one else that could pull her out of those.

"You.....you don't want me." Lexi said starting to pull herself away, "I mean.....who would......I talk to myself I.....I'm......I'm just a mess I'm surprised you've put up with me for this long." She half muttered and half rambled on.

Before Lexi could even get off the couch Em grabbed her arm and tugged her back. She raised a hand to turn Lexi's face toward her so she could get eye contact, "Lexi.. stay with me."

Just than a hit of emotions came over Lexi they weren't hers how could she tell she had no idea. But with Em being the only other person in the room Lexi next guess it was hers but again she wasn't understanding why she was feeling them. "Are you sure?" She asked softly.

Emilia tried to see if Lexi was grounded again. When she was satisfied that she was in a good state she relaxed, "Yeah.." she rested her head on Lexi's shoulder, "we've been drinking. Let's just... relax and deal with it tomorrow."
