Emily watched Zoey go and winked, then sat back and smiled at the newcomer. Next patient she thought to herself, taking another sip of her drink. "Hey, Sebastian," she said. "What brings you by?"

Sebastian was trying to think of a cleaver thing to say, but nothing seemed perfect. He eventually settled on. "You." Sebastian said with a big warm smile on his face. He had been meaning to see her again.

"Oh yeah?" Emily said, grinning. "Flatterer. You just missed Zoey. She's off making a bad decision." She took a sip of her drink and gestured to the now empty seat. "Staying? Or is this an invite back to your quarters? My plans just got thwarted so I'm free and clear."

"You're going to skip the by the girl a drink first comment?" Sebastian said calmly to himself, thinking that he liked her style.

She raised her glass and shook it gently. "Already have one," she said, grinning.

She know what she wanted and she wasn't afraid to get it. "A woman who knows what she wants..." Sebastian leaned in closer to say, it's a soft sexy tone. "I like that."

Emily smirked. "Do you now," she said, leaning in as well and brushing her lips against his teasingly. "The way I figure it," she said, "if you don't know what you want, you can't get what makes you happy. So I just think about what'll make me happy right now, and I try to get it."

"Then come get it." Sebastian said with a masculine tone. His eyes were hungry for her touch. He took a small sip of his drink. He slide closer to he, smelling her sweet perfume.

"I would but she walked away," Emily said, teasingly. "But I'm happy to let you distract me. Your quarters or mine?"

"Mine." Sebastian said, as he pulled her out of the lounge and started to make way to his quarters. He wasted little time.

Emily wrapped herself around his arm and walked out of the lounge with a spring in her step.
