Lari made her way to the one place that she felt safest. As the doors to sickbay opened she breathed a small sigh of relief as the familiar sight greeted her. Spotting the CMO in his office, she tentatively made her way over, her eyes still bloodshot from crying as she delicately cleared her throat. “Dr Grey?” she asked, her voice crackling with raw emotion. “I know I’m not on duty but I was wondering if you needed any help?” she asked, desperate for something to do to take her mind off things.

Ensign Naktal (Doctor)
OOC who is Bailey?

OOC: Oops, wrong character! Fixed now :)

Ben raised an eyebrow from behind his desk at the Ensigns rather unseemly appearance. Only moments ago they had been mending a patient when she left, escorting the young Scientist she’d been with whose name escaped him for the moment. “Sit down Ensign” He said with a softer tone than he usually used around his subordinates. He was fairly certain he already had a reputation for lacking a bedside manner and his general bluntness among his staff. He stood up and turned to his Replicator and tapped in some commands.

Lari sniffed and wiped a stray tear from her cheek as she dutifully took a seat, slightly taken aback at the CMO’s uncharacteristic softness.

==^==Dr. Grey, this is Penji Fil, I seemed to upset Dr. Naktal just now, I just want to apologize to her…to see if she is alright.==^== Fil said to his com badge. Fil almost began to cry. “Please let me know....” Fil could not finish his sentence. He was depressed.

Lari visibly tensed as she heard Fil’s voice through the comm channel, still wrestling with how she felt about him.

Jack turned around without a word and placed two hot cups of tea on his desk, one for Naktal and the other for himself. He then slowly moved to the door of his office and pressed a few commands, closing the door and setting the windows on their opaque privacy settings before returning to his chair. Before sitting down he tapped his combadge and spoke in his usual tone of casual dismissal and arrogance =^=Ensign, please refrain from using Official Comm Channels for unofficial business, I’m positive that the Doctor is just fine, Grey out=^= He closed the channel and sat down.

Lari gratefully took the cup and slowly took a long sip of the soothing tea. She gave Jack a weak smile as she set it back down on the desk and let out a long sigh.

==^== This is Penji Fil, I need a doctor here immediately . Please respond!==^==. Fil laid back on the couch as he couldn’t move from it, and could do nothing to find Lari
to apologize to her. He didn’t know what to do.

Jack’s lower jaw moved in a clear sign of annoyance as he pressed a button on his desk =^=NDr. Oll please go check on Mr. Fil, make sure he didn’t break his leg again” He said in his usual tone as he grabbed his cup of tea and raised it to his mouth, taking a moment to inhale the calming fumes “Peppermint tea, an excellent anti-inflammatory drink, it will reduce the redness and puffiness” He spoke calmly, taking the first sip as a sort of example “Aided by the fact that peppermint is quite delightful” He had returned to his previous soft tone, less distant boss more brotherly worry. “You wanted an assignment, this is it” He smiled slightly, another abnormality but he didn’t ask. If he needed to know he would, for now there was only tea.

Dr. Grey - CMO

The young doctor nodded as she took another sip. “Thank you doctor…” she replied quietly as she began to relax a little. “I’m sorry for barging in sir, I didn’t know where else to go…” she added as she leaned back in the chair and sighed again. “I know it’s silly and I should keep my private life separate from sickbay…” she started as Fil’s voice came over the comm channel for a third time.

==^==I’m sorry to bother you Dr., but I’m so depressed after what I said to Dr. Naktal, I didn’t mean to upset her…I just want to take this cast off and run to her to apologize to her. Please tell me what to do==^== Fil’s voice trailed off…

Unable to keep a lid on her emotional turmoil, Lari thrust the tea back on the desk and began to weep as she heard the desperation in Fil’s voice. The last thing she wanted to do was hurt him but she felt like things were spiraling out of control and it was all too much for her. She gripped onto the edge of her chair as she tried to regain her composure but it was no use. With tears streaming from her eyes she looked up at Grey. “I don’t know what to do…” she whispered.

Dr Naktal

Jack’s expression hardened as he tapped his combadge once more a little harder each time =^=Ensign if doctor Naktal wishes to speak with you that is what she will do, until then you will leave her and me alone. Dr. Oll will be with you shortly to check in on you. In the meantime do not contact me or her again=^= He said harshly before once more closing the channel. He took another sip from his tea which had a real calming effect on the Doctor. “Now I was hoping we could simply sit here and drink tea for the moment but I do not see that happening. In your own words what exactly is it that happened?” He asked softly.

Dr. Grey - CMO

==^== I’m sorry doctor, but I just want to apologize to her. What can I do? I thought she would be happy…Put me in the brig for being concerned for her well being if you want, but …please…I just want to tell her my feelings…==^== Fil laid back on the couch, not closing the combadge.
