"Arguments and worries" (Cont'd from "Endings and Beginnings") Location: USS STONEHENGE Scene: Izzy's quarters Time Index: 2.80806.1028 Izzy wandered back into her quarters and looked around, Xordin followed a step behind having argued with her back in sickbay that she needed someone to see her safely home, the assistant security chief had been too tired to argue and gave in without too much of a fight. "OK I'll feed the cat for you, do you need anything else?" he asked as he headed to the replicator for the cat food. Izzy slipped into one of the seats suspended from the ceiling, she rested her head against the see through side of the egg shaped chair and shook her head. "No," she said softly "You're sure?" Izzy closed her eyes against the bright light of her quarters and nodded. "And I can look after myself, clean bill of health and all." Xordin stood, cat bowl in hand and watched Izzy sadly. "You keep doing this." He muttered and finally put the cat bowl down before scarlet scratched the legs out of his trousers "No I don't." She answered He gave a slight smile. "You don't even know what I was going to say you keep doing." He pointed out. "I can guess." "Pushing me away." He added when he realised she wasn't going to ask. "I would have guessed right." Izshlana answered she looked up and sat up straight, folding her arms across her chest she drew her knees up to her body resting her feet on the edge of the suspended chair. "Izshlana." She held her hand up and stopped him in his tracks. "We were both pretty clear about what you thought of me on Atleavkith. Apparently it was my fault that we couldn't rescue your people from the slavers, you recall that?" Xordin looked down at his feet and muttered something it almost brought a smile to Izzy's face but not quite. "Also I'm pretty sure it was my fault that Starfleet couldn't do anything to help your people and you once again had to be relocated, and that's not even mentioning the amount of casualties your people took in the battle, also my fault." She stopped for a breath and then glared. "Don't touch that." Xordin placed the cylindrical device back on its pedestal. "You're not the easiest person to work with." He pointed out, drawing himself up to face her. "You stomp over other peoples beliefs because you believe your way is right, you argue against a monarchy yet you're from a clan based system; because that's *sooo* much better." Xordin drawled. "I do not stomp over other peoples beliefs." Izzy snapped back. "Just mine then." "Why the hell should what time of the year you were born have any relevance to what you're going to be good at for the rest of your life?" "And how did your people decide to send you to military school? Ooh that's right because you didn't have any other options, definitely the product of a well rounded and sophisticated race." "You sound like a girl." Izzy retorted. "Mr I'm so much better than everyone else because of the family I was born into it gives me god given leadership skills and makes me an all round good guy. And look just to prove it I adopted this little whelp." "Don't bring my daughter into this." "Why not, you do. Roll her out for all the publicity shots, show the world how inclusive you are then make everyone else bow and scrape to you because you're the bestest." "If you think so little of me why do you hang around?" "I don't, you follow me around like a lost little puppy, and do you think you'll get salvation by looking after the poor little alien all alone in the world." Izzy asked she'd stood up at some point and was kneading a cushion between her hands. "I want to help you." "With what?" Izzy snapped, she threw the cushion with unnerving accuracy hitting Xordin in the chest. "Exactly what do you think I need your help with?" He leaned down and picked the cushion up from the ground holding it between his hands, Scarlet looked up curiously and he rose to his feet placing the cushion on a chair. "Nothing, I never thought you needed it." He turned around and headed to the door. "Don't just walk away." She snapped. Xordin stopped in the doorway and turned around. "I thought that was precisely what you wanted." He watched her for a moment as she stood looking unsure and then turned and headed out the doors as they slid open. =[/\]= Location: E4 Scene: Maddies holiday cabin somewhere in the middle of nowhere. Kat sat on the edge of a bed and carefully dabbed at the little girl's forehead with a cool damp cloth, wiping the sweat drops away she held the girls hand in one of her own and did her best to whisper soothing words to her. "You'll be alright Safira, I promise." Kat said softly and closed her eyes at how hollow the word sounded. "Kat." The door opened from the back of the cabin into the bedroom and Mad'hron stepped through. "I came as quickly as I could." She handed her petite friend a medical kit. "The HENGE just called in they'll be home soon." Kat nodded. "Will we still be safe then?" "As long as they don't look too hard." Maddie admitted, "I'm masking lifeforms from the cabin and the children and Ty are making good diversions at the moment." Maddie knelt down next to the bed as Kat unpacked the medical kit. "Did Jeff teach you how to use any of those?" Kat smiled a little. "Some, I can make her more comfortable." Her smile faded and Maddie saw the worry lines creep into her younger friends face. "We should take her to the doctors Kat." "I know." Kat whispered quietly. "Except your CMO was the one who wanted to experiment on Thomas." Mad'hron nodded, her hand gripped Kat's arm gently. "If we don't take her she could die." Kat shook her head. "If I don't take her," the younger woman corrected firmly, "Starfleet still have no way of knowing you know I'm here." Kat answered, "And that's how it's going to stay. If I make her comfortable enough I can maybe persuade her to change, in her fludic state she should be able to heal better, although it would be better if I could get her to the great link." Mad'hron pursed her lips and sighed, "You could try, your shuttle is still hidden, and no one would even know you were here." Kat nodded and administered the pain relief and stimulants she had been placing into a hypospray. "Last option." She said softly. Safira the small foundling murmured something as the metal was placed next to her neck and the drugs began to take affect. Kat closed her eyes as the little girls face relaxed. "What am I doing Mads?" "What you think is right." Mad'hron answered. "Go and get some sleep, I'll watch over her, Ty and the children will pick me up before they go back to the base." "What are they doing?" Maddie smiled a little. "Playing on the beach, now go, while you can still get a few hours sleep." Kat nodded and wearily got up from the bed. "Wake me before you go," she ordered as she made her way to her own cot in the back of Maddies house. =[/\]= Location: USS STONEHENGE Scene: Crew lounge Xordin turned the small glass of scotch around in his hand; he was leaning against the bar in the ships lounge, watching the liquid intently. "Women." Arjan declared as he sat down and ordered a drink from the bartender. "they're not worth the trouble sometimes." "How do you figure it's women?" Xordin asked swallowing the whiskey in one go, wincing slightly at the bite and ordering another glass. "It's that look. Only a woman could have done that." Arjan smiled at the bartender and then glanced sideways at Xordin. "Are you going to offer me advice? Or tell me how there are plenty more fish in the sea?" "Neither, I hear you've asked to be of use to sickbay while you're on the ship, I would have thought security would have been more your thing." Arjan carried on, he ignored the shadow that crossed Prince Cadrin's eyes. "I like to learn new things." "Excellent." Arjan grinned and raised a glass to the newest member of sickbay. "Report tomorrow for basic medical training, first aid, triage stuff like that, while the crew are on shore leave we're going to be busy getting you up to scratch." Xordin sighed but a small smile flittered to his face. "I can't wait." "Excellent." The blue man grinned, "So going back to the topic of the day, what is it with you and Izzy." Xordin glared at him and shook his head. "I'm going to need more alcohol for that topic." **** NRPG: There seems to be something wrong with the formating on my posts so if this comes through weird shout at me and i'll look into it. Hope people like this. Would like to do more with Kat over R&R and we might be having a friend of mine pop in for a little bit but we will see how that goes.
