“So why not holo-conference her classes? It would ease her transition, would it not? And rigging holo-emitters is nothing. Could be done in a few hours.” he suggested and sipped his wine. “As for the furniture, send me specifications and I will see what we can do. Whatever is here, however, has to meet standards and be fixed to the deck of bulkhead. Well, anything not a chair. Other than that, Engineering can more than likely fabricate.”

“It would as long as it doesn’t keep her from making friends here as well,” Siadra replied thoughtfully. “I’ll think about it and then get back to you, okay?”

“And regarding the furniture: I haven’t put much thought into yet, but Li has been bugging me for a loft bed for quite a while,” Siadra laughed. “I wouldn’t want her to have a really high one. Low enough that I can still reach her fairly easily if I have to, but high enough to build a cosy cave underneath. Do you think that would be possible and safe enough?” she asked, her head tilted slightly to the side.

Before Si’Rek could respond, the door chime sounded next to them, as the doors parted, the young bright eyed face of Lieutenant Patrick McMillan grinned warmly in the door way, “Commander, Chief, good evening. I hope I’m not interrupting anything important?”

OOC: Hope you don’t mind me jumping in ;)

-Lieutenant Patrick McMillan: Counsellor-

An expression of deep confusion had appeared on Siadra’s face when the chime had sounded, mixed with worry that it might have woken her daughter. She wasn’t used to people just showing up at her quarters. Especially not at this time of day. And while she sensed no urgency from the person n the other side, she felt like she couldn’t just ignore it and thus let the person. Still sitting on the couch next to Si’Rek with her wine glass in hand, the First Officer looked up at McMillan and asked with confusion and maybe even a hint of irritation written all over her face, “What brings you to my quarters at this late hour Counsellor? Did something happen?”

~Cmdr. Enai, XO

Paddy suddenly felt a surge of dread filling his mind, “Oh - I… Forgive me Commander, I didn’t mean to interrupt, excuse me!” The irishman stepped awkwardly out of the room, nearly colliding with a young ensign, who he was incredibly apologetic to, before bolting from the room and heading back to his quarters.

Si’Rek watched the exchange. When Siadra turned he looked at her and said “Very well, I’ll be the first to ask… what was that?!“

Si’Rek, CE

For a moment or two Siadra just sat there and looked from Si’Rek to door and then back again. Still plainly confused by what had just happened. Eventually a soft laugh bubbled from her chest and shook her head. “I have no idea. Maybe he confused the time and date from the dinner invite I sent to all senior officers earlier today?”

After taking a sip of wine, Siadra said, “Anyway. I think we were talking about furniture before we got interrupted.” The one good thing that could be said about the unexpected visit: It seemed to have lightened her mood a little.
