Mission: Are You Touched?
Location: Deck 6 - Civilian Lounge & Mess

-=- BEGIN LOG -=-

Mikkal had been walking around the lounge with his tray in his hands, looking for an empty table to sit at. Slowly, he noticed a table, for two guests, right next to the viewport empty, with empty glasses on it. He accelerated the pace to take the table and almost threw his tray on the table, claiming it as his'. He slowly sat down and observe the action around him, a slight smile on his lips.

Chloe had followed Mikkal into the Lounge, having found a table that afforded her a view of the whole lounge she sat down, she was to observe and follow and keep this man from the Captain. She frowned once he'd found a seat and just watched him out of the corner of her eyes.

Mikkal began to eat, slowly, observing around him at each and every bite. He was expecting to be watched, probably from the ship's sensor who could relay his presence to anyone, at anytime. He, at times, looked out the viewport, obviously thinking about something that kept upsetting him, then he would return to his food and observing the lounge.

Chloe had a mug of coffee in front of her as well as a plate of salad with grilled chicken, tomatoes, black olives, and croutons on it. She was covertly observing the 7'1" bronzed skin Atlantean. He didn't look dangerous to her, he looked well sad really.

As Mikkal was looking around him, he noticed the half-caitlain female, sitting in angle from him. He noticed her as she was the only human with ears perturbing from her skull, which he found rather odd. She also had a tail, which humans didn't have. He found the combination of the two quite interesting, so began to provide more attention to her, while eating his meal.

Chloe took extra care not to make it obvious she was watching the atlantean. He didn't seem dangerous. but then it wasn't her job to question what he seemed it was her job to follow orders.

Mikkal kept looking at the female. She was not looking at him, not even seem to have noticed him, even if his completion and physique made him quite noticeable. Disappointed, he finished his meal and stood, heading towards the exit, almost in a hurry. He had an idea.

Chloe waited a few minutes after he left then stood to leave so she didn't lose him completely. She hated this covert ops crap because she had to make sure she wasn't noticed and yet not lose him at the same time. was she to watch him everyday? probably she wasn't going to risk it.

Mikkal was waiting just outside the door of the lounge, waiting for a few minutes. As Chloe exited, he would be right there, next to the door, waiting. He was looking down, picking up food out of his long nails.

Chloe paused just outside the door sensing him instantly she turned to look at him hands on her hips. "I guess I'm not as invisible as I had hoped." She sighed shaking her head Pont was so not going to like this.

Mikkal slowly raised his head and looked at the half-feline woman in front of him. A slight smile appeared on his lips, spitting on the side of his mouth the bit of foot he successfully retracted from his nails. "I would tell you the exact same thing, it would make it as relevant.", he replied. He knew it. He was being watched. And now, it was that cat girl that was watching him. At least, now, he knew the face of his "Big Brother", in this case, Big Sister.

"You have a bit of food on your mouth." She told him hands on her hips still cocking one hip to the side. "How did you realize you were being watched. I was being extra careful." she scowled her words rolling with her natural purr.

"Watched?", he asked, curiously. "You... were watching me?", he asked again, this time, almost insulted. Mikkal thought the plot might got thicker, with the Queen now watching him, for all he knew. But, was she sending... her to kill him? Was it the way she was going to terminate him? He didn't know. He was convinced he would find out, then.

She arched one white brow at him unsure how to respond to this. "never mind then." She said hadn't he suspected she was watching him and that was why he waited for her out here? She was quite confused really. "You are an enigma." She sighed.

Mikkal laughed at the comment. Quite genuinely actually. "Enigma? You are the enigma. You are not like the others I have seen here.", he stated, pointing at her ears.

"I am half Caitian she said turning to the side slightly and wagged her long narrow tail with short hair on it looking at it as if it wasn't out of the ordinary then looking to him quirking that brow again at him.

"Interesting... quite interesting.", he stated, looking at her tail, then her ears. "Shall we?", he asked her, extending his arm, meaning to lead her back inside the lounge.

"Of course." Chloe gave a nod before heading back into the lounge her tail flicking again at having been caught following him.

Mikkal lead her to the bar counter and took a seat on the stood. He then observe the woman next to him and smiled to her. "And, what would it be for you?", he asked her.

"I actually had something to sleep but I could take a glass of Betazed Uttaberry wine." Chloe said honestly.

Mikkal waved largely at the waiter, basically telling him to order whatever she just said and make one for him as well. He then turned his body, fidgeting, looking at Chloe with anticipation. "So, tell me, that idea of watching me... What for?", he asked, overly theatrical, smiling nervously.

"Maybe I like you, your different." She lied not about to give away anything to him that was between her and Pont.

Mikkal nodded slowly. "You are watching me... because you like me?", he asked, both surprised and disbelieving. He approached her slowly, until a few centimetres from her face. "... you like me?", he asked, smiling on the corner of his mouth.

Chloe actually blushed as he came very very close to her. She wasn't use to anyone she barely knew being this close to her. "Personal bubble space here." She said putting her hand on his chest.

Mikkal smiled widely. "Oh, do I make you uncomfortable?", he asked, now smiling almost cruelly.

She blinked at him unsure really. "Um not really uncomfortable so much as just invading my personal space." She said honestly her voice low as she looked into his eyes.

Mikkal laughed loud, so loud that the vibe of the room stopped dead and 20 or so heads looked at them both. Mikkal laughed, tears coming down his eyes. "Personal space?", he said, laughing. Immediately after wiping a tear, his face became serious, fixated, angry. "Personal space? Let me tell you about personal space. Being followed when going to take a meal. Is that invading my personal space, woman?", he asked, rudely.

"Who says I was following you. I was just in here minding my own business eating my lunch." She told him honestly. "though if someone had been following you it might be. My name is Chloe not woman." She told him looking into his eyes still.

"Well Chloe not woman, you better stay off my path.", he claimed, severely.

"And what will you do if I don't?" She asked moving closer her lips a hairs breath from his as she glared into his eyes. "See I don't take kindly to threats and that sounds a lot like a threat." She purred.

Mikkal smiled and looked back behind him. In an instant, he turned again, facing Chloe, grabbing her by the back of the neck, approaching her lips to his. "This. This is what I do.", he claimed, kissing her almost forcefully.

Her eyes widened startled at the unexpected kiss, almost forced because it was Chloe who'd been that close to him to begin with. "mmah..." came the startled sound as her hands pressed against his chest again.

Mikkal released her the kiss. "Do I need to say more?", he asked, aggressively, offering Chloe a chance to run.

"A kiss isn't going to make me run, and if you try to force more than that from me I'll throw you in the brig for attempted rape." She growled.

Mikkal looked at Chloe and smiled wisely. "Rape?", he asked, surprised. "I am sorry you feel this way... I thought we had a connection...", replied the bronze skinned male, turning his body towards the bar, sadly.

She was quiet for a moment. she knew exactly what he was talking about she had felt it. Strange since she was suppose to be watching him to keep him away from the Captain. "Ok maybe Rape was a little strong of a word considering you weren't being overly aggressive. To be honest I had the distinct impression you were trying to scare me off." She said softly her tail moving behind her slightly as she sat facing him still noting the sad look in his eyes. "Wanna start over?" She asked with an imploring purr that was natural to her father's people.

Mikkal smiled to himself, without looking at Chloe. "Start over...", he stated, then looking at her. "Hello, I am Mikkal. Who would you be?", he asked.

"Chloe." she said softly smiling back. First contact it would seem was being given a take two. She didn't completely understand why she was to watch this man other than to protect Captain Ivanova from him. Having been caught watching him showed she wasn't as good with covert ops as she had thought she was, but then again she tends to stand out in a crowd with her cat like ears and tail. "What exactly do you do around here?" She asked him curiously.

Mikkal waved with his hands, basically mimicking that he didn't really know. "I am an envoy from Altantis Prime. I was sent to crown our new queen, Queen Rochelle Ivanova.", he stated, smiling.

"Really? Imagine that Captain Ivanova a Queen huh?" She asked looking impressed wondering if he was a threat to her captain. it only reaffirmed her vow to Pont not to let this man near her Captain without some kind of proof that told her the captain would be safe. "Does she know she's a Queen?"

Mikkal nodded slightly. "Oh yes, she was crowned and all. But, she wasn't happy.", he declared, softly. "And now, she is angry at me for giving her that burden.", he explained, growing in impatience. "It was my duty to my people to name the next in line. It was her. Not my fault.", he stated, looking at Chloe for sympathy.

She gave him his look of sympathy, not completely understanding why he had to be the one to name the next in line. "Is there no one who could take over for her?" Chloe asked planning to add all this to her report. well minus the kiss really which wasn't bad.

Mikkal shrugged. "Our customs. I was named Porter of the House and it was part of my duty to crown the next queen. She is the only one left on the line of succession.", he stated, smiling. "Now, tell me, why were you following me?", he asked, softly.

"I told you that already." She said with a smile side stepping the question she wasn't about to reveal her orders to him. She had told him she followed him because she thought he was cute and liked him. it was rather bold really. but she wasn't about to tell him that she was ordered to follow him, watch him and keep him away from the Captain. nope not going to happen she had a duty to her ship and her crew and she did not yet know this man.

Mikkal shrugged. "I know someone told you to follow me and I can even guess why.", he stated, smiling. "You feel that telling me would compromise those orders?", he asked again, smiling still, charming.

"Oh you think so huh? so if I'm not following you because I wanna get to know you then why am I following you?" She asked softly scooting a little closer, her tail moving slightly.

Mikkal smiled. "I might know why you would follow me in the future.", he said, advancing to kiss her again.

Chloe's eyes started to widen as he kissed her again this was the second time he'd caught her off guard it was puzzling normally her guard was completely up and she didn't get kissed like this by random stranger. Her hand moved to his chest again, but she didn't think to push him away.

Mikkal kissed Chloe, sweetly at first, then, as she let him, became more aggressive. He grabbed her lower back, as he brought her body to his'. A minute passed, as he continued kissing her.

Chloe had started to relax to the softer sweet kiss, her eyes almost closing. They widened again at the more aggressive kiss that brought her closer to him. She really didn't know how to respond to such an emotional attack while in public really and yet she felt that familiar thrill in the pit of her stomach that caused her to push away looking at him with shocked surprised her lips slightly puffy from the kiss. the Feline had this uncontrollable desire to kiss him again, but she was on duty and in public. So Chloe could do no more than blink at him unable to form words even.

Mikkal smiled, stood and observed the caitian for a moment. "I like you. I will look for you... following me again.", he stated, softly. He then began walking towards the door, looking back at her.

Chloe watched him walk away still obviously shocked and/or confused by her reaction to him and the feelings that kiss had invoked inside of her. it was a minute before she remembered she was suppose to be following him. Getting up Chloe hurried for the doors hoping she hadn't lost him.

Mikkal was already standing in the turbo lift and smiled at her as the door shut prior to Chloe reaching the lift.
