Even though the Master at Arms position was a enlisted position Ricky took it up. Allowing him to set-up range time, drills and other things like that. He was excited to get out from behind the desk that he had been chained behind ever since he took the StratOps position on Zetari. He was busy cleaning his extremely modified TR-119, a ballistic shotgun but his was modified to fire scatter shot of phase energy.

"Top o' the mornin'!" Ricky said grinning ear to ear when he saw Aly.

With some of the normal morning chores out of the way and a meeting. Aly had headed out of her office to make her way though the Security area and Brig along side one of the younger Ensigns. Still speaking softly to her about some of the things she felt the officer needed to work on. Aly near jumped out of her skin hearing Ricky.

The smile that touched her face was one that had even a few of the officers looking surprised... clearly not used to seeing the woman smiling that much. "You made it! You know you could have let me know you were on your way. Are you alright?" And damn, she really needed to get though all her reports it seemed. Yep, she was doing well not to run up and hug the man before them, she was on duty after all.

"Too risky and if I did report in like normal I wouldn't be able to see that smile." Ricky said setting down his gun and nodded for the ensign to head off. "Let's talk in private," Ricky said leading her back to the weapons repair room, "and I'm fine."

A nod was given to the Ensign who hurried and left them, of course a little glare to some of the other officers had them rushing off to act busy also. Turning to walk with Ricky. "That's good to hear, I've been worried about you." Aly said somewhat softly to make sure others didn't hear much before the door shut behind them, blocking them from view... and giving her the chance to spin around and hug him tightly.

Returning the hug Ricky kissed Aly on the forehead, "everything okay with you?"

Shrugging a little as a sheepish look caught her. "Well, I'm no longer confined to my quarters, so I guess things are alright." she decided it wise to leave off the 'for now' part.

"That's good, curious anything happened with your intel person after all this went down?" Ricky asked.

Her jaw tightened some with the mention of Tierney. "No, at least not that I know of. I've been... avoiding her. Seems every time I'm around her things get, ugly."

"That's expected intel is good at doing what they want and getting away scot-free." Ricky said with a mischievous grin, "whereas with the work I was in I wasn't so lucky."

"Expecially when the Intel person is doing the Captain." She said with a little smirk. "I don't think luck ever made it in our lives. Less I wanna count... err.. nevermind." Aly said suddenly, not wanting to ruin this good mood and having to see Ricky scowl at her right now.

"Aly keep that little tibbit to yourself, 'cause a smoking gun doesn't care who it's aiming at or who pulled the trigger." Ricky said looking into her eyes, "and something like that is bound to hurt you more than it hurts them."

"You're a day late and a dollar short with that bit of advice. But I will at least stop sharing it with anyone else." Alyssa said with a slight shrug, and it's not like they keep that a secret. She gave a slight glance around the room absentmindedly to check it out, taking note of things that needed to be tended to in there while they talked. "The move to this ship hasn't been the easiest for some reason." She said softly.

"Aly honey, you don't do anything easy, hell that's one of the reasons you and I get along so well. We don't the easy route." Ricky said with a chuckle pushing some of her hair out of her face.

"Easy is boring and for the weak." She said with a little smirk as her gaze lifted to hold his with the feel of his touch. Yet, even as she'd said it she couldn't help but to wonder why she'd thought about giving up and going for the easy way.

Ricky just smiled, "there's my girl, but I do have to run need to check in with this captain Rhodes."

"Yeah, I need to get down and check on our... guest. Should just boot them out of the airlock for all the help the they are giving us." She chuckled softly, clearly in a bit better mood then she had been in a while. "Dinner later?"

"Yeah." Ricky said kissing her again before being the first one to leave the locker and head for the captain's ready room.
