Aasrel laughed. “We don’t want that,” he said. Then he moved towards the bathroom, pulling her with him. “Speaking of our habit, it’s time now if we want to have plenty of time.”

~ Aasrel

Bethany liked the way he pulled her along with him, gentle and insistent. She liked that he flirted outrageously with her too, but in a subtle quiet way that left her wanting to see more of it. “There is never going to be enough time, Rel.” It was true, no matter how much time they had, there would never be enough.

Bethany

Aasrel turned to give her a look. Then they disappeared into the bathroom.

Over half an hour later, Aasrel came out of the bathroom in a towel. “Maybe I should wear something outrageous,” he said, looking at Bethany mischievously.

~ Aasrel

Bethany, also wrapped in a towel, paused and gave him a long once over and grinned. “Well I would say that you could be completely outrageous and wear nothing at all, but what exactly did you have in mind?”

Bethany

“We may not technically be Starfleet, but I don’t think the crew would appreciate that,” Aasrel laughed. He shrugged then, “I dunno. Just not a plain white polo. We’re supposed to be pirates and that’s the best I could come up with.”

~ Aasrel

Bethany’s eyes travelled over him again, “Are you asking for my help?” Because, oh did she have ideas on how to make him look roguish.

Bethany

Aasrel grinned at her. “I am absolutely asking for your help.” He was sure she had ideas, that was the point. She’d make him look ridiculous but piratey. And probably hot.

~ Aasrel

Bethany grinned. “Hmmm…okay so something a little less polished, but won’t get in the way while you work, and functional,” she paced around him as she mused. She came to a stop in front of him, “I have a couple of ideas. I can have them ready by lunch. That is if you think you can stand seeing me again so soon.”

Bethany

Aasrel smiled, “Stand to see you? I will be looking forward to it all morning.” He gave a dramatic sigh, “It’s time to go on shift. If I wait any longer, I’ll be tempted to just not go.”

~ Aasrel

“Oh… skipping duty… sounds like a great idea.” Bethany yawned as she shrugged into her jacket. “Time for coffee, or a brisk walk.” She kissed him. “Mmmm four hours can’t pass quick enough.” She slipped out his door. One of her Lts was passing, blinked, grinned, and then hurried off.

Bethany

Aasrel was next out the door and off to Sickbay. He spent part of the morning with patients and any downtime he had, he was in the medical lab. When lunch came around, he was still in the medical lab.

~ Aasrel

Bethany had been busy. She had spent the morning going over boarding plans and schematics of the Argon Wind with her department. Then she had spent time with her Tactical officers going over the battle tactics and history of Captain Rebecca Ann Forther. She was known for how good she was. No one wanted to be on the wrong side of her.

At lunch she went by sickbay and was directed to the lab. “Dr. Izei?”

Bethany

Aasrel looked up. “Yes?” Then he saw it was Bethany and smiled. “Bethany.” He closed up what he was working on, then joined her at the door. “Those four hours were too long.” He joked, grinning at her.

~ Aasrel

“Far, far too long. Come on.” Bethany led the way down the corridor to her quarters. There was a tray with whatever the galley was serving fresh that day and fresh coffee brewing. She made a beeline directly for it. Decaf, but she wanted coffee. She pointed to the couch. “There’s two different ones there. We can always replicate you more. The second shirt I’m sure you won’t like, but it would give you a different look.”

There was a pair of boots, pretty standard to Star Fleet issued, but scuffed and worn rather than polished. They were incredibly comfortable. There were two pairs of pants. The first was a pair of stone washed black jeans. The other was a dark brown/grey made of a heavier canvas with lots of pockets and loops in it. The first shirt was a midnight blue. It had a madarin collar and open neck like the polos he liked to wear. The sleeves were loose and billowy, not too much though, until an inch below the elbow. The cuff started there and was almost skin tight. Keeping the shirt firmly out of his way while he worked. The second shirt was commonly called a muscle shirt. It was forest green and had a round neck and was of course sleeveless. Bethany didn’t think he would like that one.

There were also two jackets of a sort. The first was more of a working vest. Sleeveless, pockets and trimmed to fit. It looked more like a modified lab coat than anything. Like he needed it, but was annoyed with the formality. The second was a long sleeved leather and suede short jacket in blacks and browns. There was also a weapons belt. Upon closer inspection the holsters and loops were made to hold all the equipment in a standard Star Fleet issue medical kit. It wouldn’t do to carry around a branded case. The pockets on the cargo pants seemed to serve the same purpose. The final piece was a pair of biker gloves. They were fingerless, except the pinky, to hide the implant on that side of his hand. They were open on the palm and the back of his hand. It served to make him seem a bit rougher, but still the dexterity a doctor needed, while covering up what he didn’t want to think about.

Bethany

Aasrel tried on the cargo pants, the blue long sleeved shirt, and the leather and suede short jacket. Then the biker gloves and the comfy boots. Then fitted the weapons belt on, though there were no medical things in it just yet. When he was finished he stepped out of the bathroom like he was a model. “What do you think? I want to try that weird lab coat too but I wanted to try this first.”

~ Aasrel

Bethany’s coffee mug was set back down on the table before she took the sip she was obviously about to take. She stood up from the couch and nodded slowly. D@mn she was good. He looked…wow… this wasn’t going to do. The nurses were going to flirt with him more. She didn’t say anything for a long minute. “Yep, you look sufficiently roguish now. Wow…”

Bethany

Aasrel adjusted the belt slightly and grinned. “You really like, huh?” He said. Then he frowned and twisted a bit like he was trying to see himself, “Can you see anything through this?” By anything, he meant implants.

“Yeah, I do like.” Bethany shook her head, “Nope, can’t see anything.”

He pulled off the suede leather jacket and instead put on the other one that resembled a lab coat. “What about this? Better? Worse?”

~ Aasrel

“It looks okay.” It seemed to fit him well. “I will say that those loose sleeves under the tighter lab coat might get uncomfortable. Also the long shirt and lab coat might get too hot. They are thicker materials than our uniforms. It’s why I gave you a sleeveless shirt also. So you’d still be covered but comfortable. If there is anything you don’t like, we can make adjustments. Color, fit, material, and the like. I tried to guess at where you might want your medical equipment at hand, but we can move the holsters around to what works best for you.”

Bethany

Aasrel pulled the lab coat off and set it down nicely. “I’ll try it like this first and then we’ll adjust later.” He smiled, “Thanks, Bethany. It looks great. I like them. Especially the biker gloves. Very roguish.” He checked the time, “Do we want to eat before we have to go back to work?”

~ Aasrel

“I’m glad you like it. It’s a very good look on you.” It really was. She liked seeing him outside of the uniform as it were. To his question she nodded as she walked up and put her arms over his shoulders. “I really should. See, I have this really stern doctor who is always on me about my health. If I skip a meal, he might come hunt me down.” Then she grinned wickedly, “Hmmm… on second thought, that might be fun.”

Bethany

Aasrel grinned and laughed. “Don’t threaten me with a good time,” he said in his best ‘ruffian’ voice. He hugged her. “Okay, let’s go eat before we run out of time.”

~ Aasrel

She leaned in and whispered in his ear, “Oh honey, that wasn’t a threat, that was an offer.” And with a laugh she stepped quickly into the corridor.

Bethany

Aasrel grinned and stepped out into the corridor after her - still wearing the outfit she’d picked out. It was comfortable and easy to move in. Then he looked at her like Are you really going to make me chase you?

~ Aasrel

Bethany winked at him and then tucked her hand onto his arm. “Hmmm maybe later.” They were getting all kinds of looks. Well, actually, Aasrel was getting the looks and people (read other women) liked what they saw. Bethany was a little amused at herself for feeling jealous. “We will need lots of time for that. Oh, don’t forget. Holosuite 2 right after your shift.”

Bethany

Aasrel liked the looks, but the only one he cared about was Bethany’s. He smiled at her and nodded. “Holosuite 2. I won’t forget,” he said as he led her down to the galley for lunch.
