(This takes place the night of the DH meeting, the night following Prescott’s ‘relief’ and Jensen’s brig time)

Ari was in her ready room waiting on Millet. She had had a stressful day and the chef had stuck the teapot on a heating pad so it stayed hot for several hours so she could have as much as she wanted. Despite it being overkill, she was on her fourth or fifth cup of tea for the day. Its usual calming affects didn’t seem to fight thru her anxiety today.

As 1800 rolled around, she was looking at her console. Her shoes, usually kicked off and under her chair, were actually still on her feet. And she was going over the watch rotations and trying to come up with a good rotation of personnel to get their firearms training in in the time she had give the MACO.

Millet was right on time. He brought some of his famous macaroons and some croissants freshly baked . Be pressed the chime and waited. He was hoping that this would be the time that they can finally reconcile.

The door slid open and she was seated at her place at the head of the table. She glanced up and nodded to a nearby chair. “Morning, Commander. We need to talk. I think we got off on a misstep.” She nodded once more to the chair, not comment made about the patisseries.

“Morning. I believe we do as well.” He said taking the offered seat and placing the pastries on the table. He knew she was serious because she has been using his rank and not his name and her shoes were still on. “I’m listening Captain.”

When he used her title, she sighed. She honestly didn’t want this to get ugly. “Jean, we got too close, too fast. And I have the feeling, because of that, you are trying to keep me from being ‘burdened’ with what you consider things you can handle. When Baumann came to you with Prescott’s attack and the ones who did it, you should have contacted me immediately. I’m guessing you didn’t because you figured you had handled it and all was well. Am I right?”

“No. Ari. While it is true you have been worrying a great deal, not only from your last mission, but from a lot of new crew, a new relationship and now someone from the past that you were close with came back from the dead. You are also obsessed with your theory. When you should be taking what little time you have off to rest some. I am not perfect but I did order an investigation and their confinement . Once the evidence was produced then there would be a Captain’s Mast. Which only you or your delegated person can perform. Since you didn’t delegate it to me, only you cam do it. I sent you a report with ther gist of what was going on. I couldn’t give you the facts if I didn’t have them either.”

He sighed and ran his fingers through his thick black hair. “I am not perfect. I know I’ve messed up between us both professionally and romantically. I want to do better in both of those endeavors. But I’m a realist and can see that either one or both are in serious jeopardy.”
