Vale: ::gives Ferra the 'I need help' sign:: 

Ferra: ::on the other side of the table, squints:: 

Ferra: ::mouths "what"?:: 

Vale: ::makes the sign more obvious:: 

Captain Doyle: ::looks at the Albion officer next to him making weird gestures:: "Are you okay, Lieutenant?"  

Vale: "Yes, yes.... I'm great. More than great, actually."

Vale: ::glares at Ferra, who's pretending not to notice::

Vale: ::turns back to Doyle:: "The Albion is the greatest ship I've ever served on, and Captain Sprague is the greatest captain." 

Captain Doyle: ::raises eyebrow:: "Really?"  

Vale: "Scout's honor."

Vale: "Oh, look at that." ::takes out card from her pocket:: "I've got the wrong seat."

Vale: ::hurries over to Ferra and drags her over. Ferra tries to resist:: 

::The two make enough of a spectacle of themselves to draw the attention of everybody in the room::

Ferra: ::finding herself standing in front of Captain Doyle:: "Hi."

Vale: ::hurries off, but then rushes back:: 

Vale: "Forgot these..." ::picks up plate of chips::
