Chakotay laughed lightly in return, feeling a lot of the tension between them the last few days ease. "Then put me to work, Captain. I'm overdue for my duty shifts as it is."

He really was overdue to be working on something in here. He'd been avoiding everyone and everything for the last few days, so to be put to work in any capacity would be nice, but especially if she would. Then he would know for sure, even more than the laughing and gentle teasing, that their relationship was back on track.
