“I’m sure they don’t mind too much. Adjustment takes time, some longer than others. Perhaps you could work something out with the CMO? See if you could spent a bit of time each week with the medical officers. That way you can continue helping out with what you love, while still adjusting to your newer role of being in Command of a.. much larger personnel base.“

Jade shook her head “Impossible i have to mush work to do as the XO. I can’t just work in sickbay i have so many other duties to attend to. I have to spend all my on duty time doing the jobs my position dictates. The when i’m off duty the last thing i want to do is more work.” She said truthfully.

Lissan glanced skeptically across the desk, but chose not to argue. Leaning back in resignation, she clasped her hands over her stomach. “What do you do for fun, Jones?” She asked, her voice dropping to a monotonous drumm.

Jade thought for a moment. it was a strange topic to jump to. However she was glade for the change of topic “I paint, I go to the holodeck and use flight simulators, i was a pilot before i became a doctor. It was what i original joined star fleet for. Other then that i just enjoy reading and using other holo programs. Nothing to exciting.” she said not sure what else to tell the CNS. that was all she relay did aside form chat with the crew and message Mia.

“That sounds.. I’m sorry, that sounds really boring.” Lissan returned, bluntly. “Jones, I don’t normally perscribe anything in the first vist– I find it isn’t enough time to really get to know a person. But you, my dear Commander, are a unique case.” She pulled her PaDD from the side of the desk, “Your regimen is simple: I want you to take fifteen minutes a day, to begin with, and do something you love. Whether that’s painting or going to that simulation or chatting with your daughter–I don’t care. Just take some time for yourself.” She smiled, “You deserve it.“

Jade leaned forward “Boring to you perhaps but i enjoy it.” She said simply. “Would you ask a Vulcan to not meditate because it was boring?” she asked it was hard to tell if she was being serious or not. However Jade was indeed being playful although she wanted to see the CNS would pick it up or not.

“If it had to do with their health, sure would.” She grinned, but she was only half joking with her. “Besides, I’m sure Vulcans have a way of spicing up mediation.” She mused.

Jade scoffed “you haven’t met many Vulcans then. Thier idea of spicing up their meditation would be finding an even quieter room.” She said simply.

“From what I hear, silence can be deafening.” She remarked, knowing all too well the power of silence. “It’s a wonder they can stand a quieter room.”

“We’ve talked about what i do for fun but what do you do?” she asked

Cmdr Jones (XO)

“Hiking, swimming, kyacking–anything outdoors.” Lissan informed her with a slight smile, “You would not believe some of the views you can find from the summits of Andorian’s mountains.. if you can stand the cold for long enough to reach their peaks.” Zenobia was an oddity in more ways than one, and it became more obvious with every word she spoke. “I’ve also looked into piloting classes as well, but I think I’ll have to refine these guys a little more before that happens.” She gestered to the areas where her ears should have been.

“Oh i can. I’ve been to andoria many times. My first husband,m Mia’s after was Andorian. I took Mia there a few times to get to know her heritage.” Jade said a smile on her face “They views are truly stunning” she added.

“Really? I’m glad to know I’m not the only hybrid Andorian around here.” Lissan winked, playfully. “That they are. Especially when the evening washes over and you can catch the faintest glimpse of Andor hanging in the sky, watching over its moon.”

“Have you ever taken your daughter out hiking or rock climbing?” She was curious what Jade and her daughter did during their time together (And she wanted to get the conversation off of her). “Holodeck or reality, it doesn’t matter.”

Jade nodded “My family home, Edge Hill manor. In England is in the hills. so we would go walking up and around the hills when i got shore leave. Sometimes my mother, my father, me and Mia would all go for a walk and have a pick nick above the house on top of one of those hills. Times like that are rare my mother is busy with her duties as an admiral, my Father with is an ambassador and I’m a career officer. So when we get those rare moments together it fantastic.” she said the smile getting bigger on her face.

“The life of any officer is hard and allots for such little time to be spent with family. You have to make with what you got, but it’s great to hear your family tries to come together here and there, despite the difficulty in doing so.” She watched as the smile took over Jones’ face, one of her own quickly following. “What’s your favourite memory of you four?“
