Katie looked up in surprise at the door chime and then shook her head at herself. The door had been chiming every hour it seemed, so she didn’t know why it surprised her this time. The Ark Angel had been without a counselor for some time and the amount of backlog made that quite apparent.

“Come in!” she called, tossing the PaDD she had been looking at onto an annoyingly disorganized pile on her desk. As the door slid open, she prepared herself for yet another check in. She so prepared herself, in fact, that it took her several seconds to process who was on the other side of the door. A smile slowly came over her face as she recognized the other person and she bounded around her desk to wrap her arms around him as soon as the door had slid safely shut behind him.

“Well, I know you’re not here for an evaluation since that got taken care of at the starbase by someone impartial,” she murmured, her voice barely audible from her mouth’s position burrowed in Chavez’s neck. “I’m so happy to see you,” she added after a moment, releasing him and taking a step back.

Domingo happily wrapped Katie in his arms as he felt himself finally relax. The stress of a new assignment and a new ship posting had built some tension in his body.

He laughed warmly in response to her murmuring, “Of course they head shrinked me properly and very impartially. Sadly they didn’t have your bedside manner.” He couldn’t resist joking, “I would’ve been to see you sooner but all the red tape and transferring procedures are a nightmare. My history slowed things down a bit.”

Watching Katie take a step back from him, Domingo looked into her eyes and grinned, “I’m delighted to see you too. I’m glad we transferred together.”

“Me too,” Katie replied, her sincerity and warmth reflecting through her face and her eyes. She lightly hit his shoulder in response to the comment regarding her bedside manner and shook her head, smiling impishly. “What, there were no tequila shots and long walks on the beach?”

Nunn, CNS

Domingo’s grin shifted into a smirk as he replied, “No, no walks on the beach or tequila shots I’m afraid. Mainly psychobabble regarding hidden stressors or unresolved animosity. You would think they had read my file.”

He took a step closer to Katie before reaching out his hand and lightly caressing her cheek.

“How was your own psych eval?” He asked quietly.
