Glancing up after scribbling some more notations, their eyes met with someone’s across the way and they instinctively gave off a nervous smile before quickly looking back down at their paper. It probably wasn’t helping that they were still dressed in their Space Patrol uniform despite being off duty. They really should’ve thought that through.
