He nodded as he took a drink. “It does. That and meditation really helps takes the edge off. I learned both from the man that got me off Orion, actually. Not a lot of room on an old TGY-86 freighter to exercise, so we did Tai Chi daily. Easy on the joints, helps with flexibility and balance… yoga without the pseudo-pornographic pose names.” and he laughed and smiled at her. “Mediation was the key to me actually getting into the Academy.” Damn… why does she have to look so good! he thought to himself. A familiar sensation began to form and he said “So what now?!” slightly louder than he intended and quickly made to pack up their belongings, keeping his back to her until things… settled down.

Faye was going to comment about her inability to meditate since her return form Romulan space, but Dag’s sudden urge to change the topic of conversation rather startled her. “Ummm, I don’t know,” she said rising to her feet, her brows knit together. “I think we have a bit more time in the holosuite, but you did mention dinner. It’s a little early, though I don’t know what time it is set for or if it’s even tonight.” She closed the distance and rested a hand on his shoulder blade. “Dag, is everything okay?”

He involuntarily took a sharp breath in when she touched him. “Yep! Fine!” The touch of her hand did not help matters (or maybe it did, depending on one’s point of view), and he bent lower and fumbled trying to get the yoga mats inside. “Dinner… um… dinner isn’t… uh… dinner isn’t until seven. We could, uh… we could change programs if you wanted? Or… um… we could… uh… swim? Maybe?” Even from behind, the green skin on his bald head darkened several shades.

The terrible thing about their relationship having been over subspace was that she didn’t know how to read Dag. Hell, she didn’t know how to read people in general with any accuracy most of the time. So his disjointed speech and agitation confused her to no end. She pulled her hand away as he bent forward, like she had touched something hot.

She could feel her heart suddenly pounding in her head and Faye exhaled a steading breath. She had done something. Maybe it was something she had said? Her fingers reached for her necklace and she twisted the cap on the vial of scent, letting it waft gently and ground her. Ahhh, slightly better. Another breath meant she could calm down before saying something. “I like swimming… she said, trailing off. He’s embarrassed, but why? Be a grown up, for godssake! Ask him!! “Dag… did I do or say something? If I did, I’m… I’m sorry.” At least she asked, rather than make assumptions or letting her mind trip head first down a rabbit hole.

Daggum paused his movements and shook his head. “Faye… no… it’s… you did do something, yeah… but it’s not a bad?… thing, I guess? It’s just… well… kind of embarrassing.” He could hear the concern in her voice and the insecurity. “Faye… just… just don’t laugh, that’s all I ask.” and he stood up and turned around.

“Not really anywhere I could adjust without making myself even more embarrassed.” and he quickly set things as right as they could be at the moment. “Sorry… I just… well… you’re amazing to look at, Faye.” and he shrugged.
