[lilith-among-the-stars]

Who: @captain-orionqueen​ Where: Orion's Office

It wasn't exactly out of the ordinary for Lilith to be called into Orion's office; he'd often pull her in to discuss their current predicament, vent about something stressful, or even just to shoot the shit. This time however, she herself was a little on edge. Having found out from Alex that their secret was out, she figured it was only a matter of time before word reached Orion, and she knew it would be far better for her brother to hear about her and Alex from her than it would be from some random source. That meant that she was going to have to bring it up to Orion sooner rather than later, and while she wasn’t sure why he had called her in today specifically, a small part of her was hoping she’d find the opportunity to broach the subject with him. “What’s up, Ry? How are you holding up?” she asked with a smile once she closed the door behind her, the smile falling from her face as she noticed the grim look on his. There was a sort of tension in the air that she read easily, and she knew him well enough to know that something was off. “What’s wrong?” 

[star-crossed-cass]

Who: @captain-orionqueen​ Where: Cass’s Personal Quarters

It had been several weeks since Cass had been jumped in one of the halls and her wounds were fading into nothing more than memories. The perpetrators had been dealt with rather swiftly, but Cass hadn’t wanted much more to come of it than that, which is why she hadn’t shared their names with anyone beyond Orion. Orion, who was still somewhat of a mystery to her. She knew he had people in his crew that he trusted and relied upon, but he still seemed to be wound beyond tight more often than not, and no matter how available she made herself, he seemed to hold himself above her assistance. Not that she blamed him, honestly. As a captain in the Alliance, he would most likely have certain standards he held himself to; an image he would want to maintain with his crew. But even then, he was only human and she hoped he had someone that he could relax with. When someone unexpected knocked at the door to her quarters, it was this fact that made her eyebrows rise in surprise when she found none other than Orion himself on the other side of it. Immediately Cass was appraising him, though a smile was on her face. “Captain Queen - to what do I owe this pleasure?” she asked, trying to regain her composure before stepping aside and gesturing for him to enter. “Can I get you anything?”
