Seeing him surprised was a beautiful thing, he wasn't a clumsy person by nature and Eilidh couldn't help but laugh to herself as he attempted to catch the falling padd. Well. There was a first time for anything, if Eilidh didn't know better she would have said he was nervous or something. She smiled as she took a couple of steps and picked up the padd which had skittered noisily across the floor. She was glad when he got up and came forward to give her a hug, she'd been thinking about that moment for what felt like forever – it had been essentially hours but who cares – she wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her head into the crook of his shoulder before closing her eyes and taking a moment just to treasure it.
“Well...I keep upsetting people at R and D.” Eilidh said giving him a half truth. “I had to lock myself up so I finished some specs before getting back to work on here...I can't tell you what it is, I'm sworn to secrecy unfortunately.” Translated that meant she was working on something he didn't have clearance for. Which definitely boded well. Honestly Eilidh didn't really know why she had been chosen because all she did was argue with the people she was working with to the point she wanted to remote work from the ship and everyone else wanted her to do so too...they were stupid though. She didn't think that about many people but they were, could they not honestly see how badly designed those new warp engines were? Sure they looked great on paper but they weren't going to fly that fast in real life without some extensive reworking. Of course she had been plucked away without warning to help design said reworks before the build went life and Starfleet were determined it was going to go ahead on time – they had too much press coverage of it going on for it to fail.
All of the thoughts of her life as a researcher stopped in their tracks when he next spoke, the colour drained form her cheeks, “sorry what?” That was oddly calm for what he had just told her. Out of instinct she reached forward and placed a hand on his chest a worried expression creeping across her face, “what happened? Are you okay? Is everyone else okay?” They were a string of unordered questions which came rushing out. Though she was sure he could forgive her for being a little worried. He looked worried too for a moment, distracted maybe? His eyes widened and she raised her eyebrow and just watched him with that strange look on his face. “You sure you're okay? You don't look it...”
