Rainns smirked, “There is a difference between different and dangerous my friend, and I’ve read over Trenton’s files since I am about to be her CO, and I can tell you, I’m not sure if she is an actual asset to this crew yet, so I’m watching for now to determine my findings.”

Sharah paused a moment to consider his remark. Did he know? Did he have her whole file? Of course he did, OH wait. “First, congratulations on your promotion. I wasn’t aware. I Know you are the best person for the job. Second, this is just about contingency plans right? You are going to be a great CSO. But,” paused searching for the right words, “I’m dangerous to this crew too.” She was going to have to sit down so she could eat soon. She wasn’t sure if Lt Rainns wanted her company. They were both in uniform and had work to do. She also wanted to respect his need to recharge his social battery.

Rainns shook his head, “You may be a potential threat, but you are fighting your condition, I’m not sure Trenton is attempting to be more cooperative with her crewmates or not.” He could tell she was indecisive about joining him or not, so he broke the silence, “As much as would like for you to join me I’m afraid I can only remain here for a few more minutes until my shift starts, so if you want company while you eat I don’t think I’m the best candidate for you at the moment.”

“Is that what she is doing? That’s what I’m supposed to be doing as well. But I prefer, or maybe find it easier to eat alone. We all fight ourselves, our conditions in the best way we know how. It looks like she is trying. I can say this, there is not a trace of animosity or uneasiness coming from anywhere in this room. Have a good shift.” Sharah check the time, then at her cold soup, and gave up. It was time for her shift. “Guess I better get going too.”

So much for lunch, but at least I can go focus on work now. Sharah headed out for sickbay.

“I should be able to figure something out, if when I have the time. It’s going to be a very busy few days for me but…”, she reached out for the PADD, “if I take this and have a look, I can let you know how long it’ll take?” With her other hand she lifter her toasted and took a sizable bite. She had been enjoying her peace and whilst the other cadet was being nothing but friendly, she wasn’t too keen to socialise then and there.

Ashlyn nodded softly, seeing the signs she herself was familiar with, stood back up. “Of course, take your time and let me know if you can or if I’ll need to find someone else to take care of it. I’ll leave you to your lunch.”

Relieved that Trenton was being socially savvy, rathern than overwhelmingly engaging as she had feared she may be, Aili responded with a genuine smile. “Oh, well I’ll get back to you. Have a good rest of your day!”

Ashlyn turned and her gaze settled on Rainns, she thought about something for a moment then proceeded to his table. “I apologize for the interruption, but may I request an appointment for a one on one?”

Aili’s eyes followed the cadet as the moved over to speak to Rainns. Oh. He didn’t seem too fond of her before. I hope he’s not stand-offish. Poor woman.

Rainns once again looked up from his chess game on his padd and noticed Trenton coming toward him. His internal defenses went up and the young man sat up. After the Cadet made her request Rainns smiled and nodded, “Of course you can.”

Cadet Trenton nodded sharply and held up her PaDD, of which she had several in hand. “I’m currently assigned to the third shift with Cadet Ryan, when would work best for you so that I may plan ahead or trade a shift with someone should I need to?”

“Sounds like we can meet tomorrow morning 0700 hours in that case,” Rainns replied, “I’m not working first shift.” He was mildly curious as to why the Cadet wished to meet with him, and truth be told, he had some things he felt needed to be said, so maybe the meeting would be helpful for both parties.

“Excellent.” The cadet made the notation on her PaDD to remind her of the appointment, “I’ll see you right after turn in at the end of shift tonight. On that note, I’m going to report to medical and call it a night. Enjoy your lunch sir.” Ashlyn turns and starts to head out.

Rainns nodded at her as she left and resumed his chess game, looking at the time stamp he realized he was nearly late for his shift, “Dang it,” he muttered to himself and he hastily sat up and headed for the mess hall exit himself.
