For Peter

[miniclaws]

Laura never forgets a face, at any point she can pull fifty facts on a person. However, she does not often go and seek a person out after the first meeting. Peter is ....different, Laura cannot explain why but she looks for him, watches him, studies him.

She realises she wishes to talk to him again but she is not known for her conversation starters. It is hard. Eventually, she stands outside his room in the evening and waits for him to emerge. She is silent until the door opens so Peter should have no idea she is there.

When the door creaks open she catches his scent and puts her hand in the door. She peers around.

"You owe me a joke."

"Anytime," Laura raises an eyebrow. "Does that include 3am?" She is half serious, when she cannot sleep, she wanders through the ship and uses the holodecks.

"I will keep the other place back in case you change your mind."

Peter laughs.

"Uh - well, maybe not when I'm sleeping at 3 AM. That - uh. Don't you usually sleep when it's 3 AM?"

"Not often. I sleep better in the garden on board." Laura shrugs, it is not a big deal to her. "I will not approach your door while I can hear you are asleep."

Okay, he's gonna have to take what he can get, he guesses.

"That - thank you, that sounds good."
