The anticipation for more had been palpable, but of course, the Ensign was right. Things were getting a bit out of hand between them, and it might be best to cool down a bit, heated as Liam's blood might have been by the intimacy of a shared shower.

So he chuckled and returned the favour of washing the Trill off before they left the shower, trying to calm himself down and pace himself a bit. "Good call," he said and once they stepped out, he took a towel to dry himself off a bit. Soon enough, they returned to the bedroom and it's twisted sheets, and the rest of the evening was spent in pleasant conversation and teasing.

Soon enough, however, Liam felt the need to retire for the evening, so that he might be himself when alpha shift began on the morrow.

"Thank you, I will make sure to let you know when I have another free evening. Then we might continue where we left off. Sleep well, Derik."

The walk back to his own quarters was one spent in tired thoughts of what might happen if what had occurred between him and Derik down on that planet became known to his deck crew. Not to mention this evening shared in the Ensign's quarters. He honestly didn't know, but he didn't care to find out. He'd seen it happen before to other Chief Petty Officers, how their authority had been undermined by the mostly male deck crew knowing someone's split preferences. He didn't care for that, and he'd been sorely burned by one particular Hermat, back at Mars.

He really didn't care to let his personal history repeat itself.
