Cara typed the results of his physical tests and then looked at Mr. Harkness, “ Well keep listening to your wife. She’s obviously a smart woman. You passed with flying colors,” she told him wondering what kind of fighting he had seen. Cara of course took the standard self defence at that academy but even before then she had trained with a knife fighter on the colony, he had been the paranoid type but he taught her well despite her parents wishes.
“I arrived yesterday. Just your luck to be stuck with the newbie,” cara said with a chuckle, as she relaxed a slight southern accent slipped through, but diluted through time away from home. As Harkness spoke about the ship being blown up before and all their troubles eyes widened a bit.
“Well I’m going to hope for the best. I’m out here to make friends not blow-uh stuff up,” Cara said correcting herself. She didn’t need to start her career off cursing in front of a senior officer. She pressed the button on the bio bed to do just a few more general scans.

Harkness nodded, “well Doc you know your trade, so day two you’re not doing too bad. She is a smart women, she only has one flaw, some reason she married this guy.” Harkness said and shrugged. He had never understood why Iris loved him, and that was fine he did not need to understand it. “I think she saved me from a lot of fights over the years, if you find you a wild man young lady, get the halter on him quick, or let him go.” there was a touch of sadness in his eyes for a moment, this young doctor was not much older than his Belle should have been. Well the doctor couldn’t answer many more of his questions, but there was no need to be impolite. “I rarely try to blow things up, just tend to be there when it is time to clean up from it, or as it happens.”

The Master Chief shrugged again, and slid off the bed looking about the sickbay. He was the senior most enlisted man on the ship, and that meant he had to meet with a few other people today, and hopefully did not have hang his tunic on a door knob to make any points. Iris really had soured him from fighting, or maybe it was age. At least there were no Marines on board, that had been his oldest pastime in the Starfleet, picking fights with Marines.

OOC: He is not an Officer, he is more like Chief O’Brien in rank.

“Thanks, it took a lot of studying to get me here, and I’m glad it’s paid off.,” Cara replied warmed by the comment about knowing her trade. It was nice to be validated. Especially considering it was only her first day working in sickbay. When Harkness quiped about a wild young man Cara chuckled, ‘How did you know my type,” she replied with exaggerated shock and turned the scanners off when they were done. she wrote down a few more notes and then looked Harkness again .
“If you ask me, and of course I realize you didn’t, I think Iris is a lucky woman,” Cara said sincerely, after all Harkness was a nice enough man who had been through a lot in his life. Cara pressed send on her notes to give them to the CMO’s office and turned to Harkness with a smile.
“Cleared for duty with only light kicking of behinds,” Cara said with another wink, “good luck out there Cheif.”

OOC: Ah got it, sorry about that.

Harkness shrugged, then flashed a rare real smile, the twinkle in his eye, and the laugh lines of his face, rolled back the years for a moment to what might have been a decent looking man in his early twenties. Now he looked like the rough and tumble father that others warned your boyfriends about. “I was that man before my Iris, and little Belle” the sadness was there again for a moment when he said Belle’s name. “Thank you Doc, I try to leave the behind kicking to others these days good luck in here.” the older chief rumbled.

Harkness gave credence to the old adage of leave the old men alone. He adjusted his uniform, picked up the PaDD that had been tucked into the back of his waistband. Gave the doctor another conspiratorial wink, “Ohhhh, and no I am the lucky one, I found a woman that can handle me, loves me, and when needed actually can kick my butt” With the PaDD safely tucked back in place Horace started towards the door, and on to continue his day.
