Rhonda, out of Human instinct, almost jumped when the young ensign did. Obviously she had startled the young lass. That in turn didn't exactly give Rhonda the highlight of the day. She didn't like to startle or frighten anyone, so she felt a little guilty at the prospect of doing so.
"I'm sorry if I disturbed you."
"Oh, no. I'm sorry I disturbed you. I just wanted to make sure everything was okay with you and the ship after the earlier exclamation." Rhonda said softly removing her hand from the ensigns shoulder. Smiling gently, yet happily Rhonda went on to say a bit more. "Now that I know everything is fine there's no need for worry."
Rhonda saw the light pink creeping across her face. Way to go, you embarrassed her. Now, how to rectify that? That was something to think about.
"When you're finished here," Rhonda glanced down briefly to see what she was working on then looked back to her fellow engineer. "What would you say about giving me a hand with the power transfer conduits on deck fifteen?"
Much unlike a few officers she had worked with and under, Rhonda made the question sound completely optional. She could have ordered the lass to do so, but she had already made her feel embarrassed, also some ensigns, not all but some, felt like a suggestion coming from someone of higher rank was an order.
Rhonda didn't want that. She rather prefer that her fellow officers felt comfortable around her, not intimidated, and felt okay giving their opinions. Of course there would be times when she'd have to order others to do things, part of the job. However part of the job required being able to work well together, and after all, there is no I in team.
