Said Commander was sitting at his desk. He looked up, the confused expression hidden by the silver mask he wore. Setting down his pen, Zechs rose to his feet and walked over to the door. Still silent, he opened the door.

Now, that was not what he was expecting. "May I help you?" he asked. His voice was low and a bit gruff, but otherwise he showed no intent to frighten the young girl.

Sakura's initial reaction was that of shock. This man was so tall. In fact, he dwarfed her by at least five inches. It forced her to step back, not in fear, but in a little awe. She shook it off immediately. Staring was also highly disrespectful.

"C-Commander Marquise?" she squeaked, tucking her fingers into the folds of her dress.

"Yes..." Zechs replied, "And you are?" He raised an eyebrow, but that action was hidden by the mask he wore. He was dressed in white pants, knee high black boots, a white shirt with a black vest over it. The chain for a silver pocket watch glittered against the black of the vest. A red thigh length jacket was sitting across the back of his chair.

The office was neat, meticulously so. Everything was in it's place and, neat.

At the question, the little brunet lowered her hands and straightened, trying to both appear taller and respectful to her superior, but mostly coming off as excessively stiff and trying too hard.

"Sub-Lieutenant Sakura Kinomoto, sir. I was just assigned to be the new navigator. I've been on the ship for a short time, but I... felt it would be necessary to introduce myself, in case there's any doubt of my.. my capabilities in the future." She swallowed, shifting her weight equally onto both feet. "I thought it would be... important."

This was sounding so rehearsed already.
