“Okay, so now it’s a burglary.” me feeling that ellie & sid would be ?? chaotic???

" Do you think it makes such a big difference? " A lingering smile remains on her features, even as a worry swoops in; sucking in her large breath through her teeth, she takes a peek around, eyes going around so fast that she sees everything and nothing. Sidney didn't like the fact that it was her actions which changed the nomenclature — they had been borrowing it ( without permission ) until now, but with the scanner broken, it was hard to pretend there wouldn't be any consequences. " I don't think anyone is paying attention. We could, I don't know, fix it give it back? No one has to know! "

“Do we have to talk about this through the door?”

Leaning her head against the door, Sidney let out a soft sigh, feeling her self-control slipping. She has dated before ( two-and-a-half boyfriends under her belt ! ); her heart has been broken and mended, the fluttering of a new crush is familiar. Jack Crusher's eyes should not make her feel this out-of-control.

She is the one who asked for romance, to take things slow — everything in their lives happens at Warp 9.9., they deserve to take their time with this, to explore it without feeling like they are running out the clock. And yet, all night long those eyes made her question if maybe she established too narrow parameters; when the night drew to a near, her mind had started scrambling for a loophole...

No, no, no! She was right to do that, Sidney reminded herself, rather forcefully, mind screaming very loudly to be heard over her heart's pleading that one little kiss, after such a brilliant date, wouldn't hurt.

Five more minutes and she would have given up on arguing with herself and just planted a kiss on him.

" Um... Yeah, we sort of do. But continue your story. I was loving it! "

Sidney allows herself to imagine the sight — the tiny, adorable baker, taking up arms against her legendary father — a smile curling on her lips as she then pictures her father receiving a pie to the face. It was ridiculous, and she'd never ask, but the offer is enough to shake the strings that were pressing tightly around her mind and for her to joke without feeling so much like a fraud. " Have you ever beaten someone up? Did you have to climb on a bench to do that? "

´ ･ .  ✶ ━━      a soft laugh escapes her lips as the brunette sits down in the seat across from the pilot.  they all had an opportunity to take a moment to themselves.  the current happenings on board the titan were pretty high strung and ellie was doing her best to keep crew moral as high as she could make it  ,  even if she was only a visitor on board.  she had stolen away in the mess hall and kitchens for a couple of hours now and managed to whip up some comfort food for everyone.  “  why what’s wrong  ?  ”  ellie questioned as she leaned on her elbows.  “  what happened  ?  who do i have to beat up  ?  ”

Expression lights up, white teeth poking out from upturned lips as she approaches the bar. When he said, let's meet up at Ten Forward later, she did not expect to find him behind the bar playing the role of bartender. The cloth over her shoulder was an endearing choice, Sidney noted to herself. " You don't believe in half-measures, hmmm. " it is an observation instead of a comment; after this past week, she doesn't need any confirmation

" Think you can make a Bee's Knees? " She asks, after mulling over her options. The replicated version never tasted quite right, the ice and the gin refusing to mix as they should, leaving behind a painfully sweet, sticky mess. Not so different from the laugh that escapes her lips, a honeyed, lively sound. " Good, 'cause... " fingers tug at the fabric of her uniform near her hips, " I'm skint. "

❝  and what'll it be, then, mademoiselle?  ❞  jack asks from behind the bar, cleaning deep into the bottom of a glass with the rag from the counter. he's never met her – guinan, that is – but he's heard stories. hand - spun wisdom passed from one hand to the next. at a glance, he's certain he'd appreciate her; the bar itself doesn't hurt, the trinkets nestled amongst the nostalgia, the memories. her words, though. the very same that moved from there to here and there again. he grins. those are the real treasures. ❝  lady's choice.  ❞

he tosses the cloth over his shoulder, glass to the counter. jack happens over to the menagerie kept beneath the bar. all the best, from the purview of the common bar tab. a brow quirks, and his eyes fall back over @forgedlegacy. that smile broadens. ❝  on the house.  ❞

rewatching sid's season three premiere scenes and (1) oh it was riker not picard who pointed out crash la forge, my memory had it backwards and... picard pointing it out actually makes more sense; (2) her little excited beam when they walk into the bridge! she's known these two all her life, they are her extended family and were the heroes of her bedtime stories. and now she is part of the story! she is starfleet as well, she is going to go on all those grand adventures just like they did!

#i just love her so much #!! #dreamer gal <3 #about.

and sid's carrd is up!

#ooc.

[forgedlegacy]

the thing about sid's particular legacy is that geordi is not just known for his adventures on the enterprise. he is known for his overall excellence in a way i think that is more unique to his case ( i think beverly, if she hadn't disappeared and runoff, would also have a similar fame ). geordi is the best goddamn engineer in starfleet, he went from liutenent junior grade to lieutenant commander ( two promotions!! ) in less than two years. he was the best, still is the best, and people expect that of sidney as well. they've been comparing her to him her entire life and she has internalized that.

she compares herself to him a lot as well, and that's not always a bad thing ( the way she treats seven, connecting it to her dad and the sort of person he is ) but its not in any way healthy. she is competing against her father's file.

her love of flying, her passion for it, that's her thing. and it is also the harder path. she could have gone into engineering, could have studied and become excellent, but she choose to follow her heart and seek out what made her happy. and that's actually the best way she represents geordi's legacy: by being herself, unapologetically and proud, because that is actually the man behind the legacy. that's who geordi is.

the fact sidney crashed two shuttles, became famous for that, and is the pilot of one of the federation's most important ships?? that's what we call preserverance and working for your talent. she discovered what she wanted and worked hard to become good at it.

❛ stop changing the subject. ❜

His interruption stops her on her tracks, large brown eyes widening further, giving her a striking resemblance to a deer-caught-in-the-headlights, from her soft eyes to the way her entire body clenches, as if readying to sprint away. It is not that she wants to talk about the sensor array, but that if she keeps talking about herself, she'll reveal far too much, had already revealed far too much in these little conversations of theirs, and only when she stumbled into something deeply personal that it caught up with her how much she's exposed herself.

" I have to. If I don't, I'll tell you what I'm actually thinking, and I don't want to do that. " She won't lie, not because she can't, but because she doesn't want to lie to him. Features soften, the shock dissipating, leaving behind only a pleading look in her eyes. " You know, the sensor array isn't as boring as it sounds. "
