Posted by Civilian Dalaira Senz (Ambassador) in Sickbay- Vaccination Time
The ankle length skirt of her linen dress swished slightly as it flared from her hips. Looking down, Dalaira smiled. “Don’t be nervous, it’ll be fine. Besides, you know most of the people in Sickbay.”

Sowyn chewed on her lip. “I know it doesn’t hurt, but I don’t like the vaccinations. I don’t know why, but I don’t.” She pondered this more as they approached the Sickbay doors.

Reaching out her hands, Dalaira took Sowyn’s and gave it a gentle squeeze. She wondered idly if and when Sowyn might develop the abilities of a Chihao, but since the girl was already blessed with an unusual level of abilities, it was hard to say.

“Relann was around my age when she got hers, wasn’t she?”

Senz looked disapprovingly. “Sowyn, we’ve talked about this. Mind your shields.”

“But I know you and you don’t mind. We talk that way all the time.”

Dalaira sighed slightly. “I know. But not everyone is as comfortable or accepting. Be mindful and go in compassion.” She didn’t want the girl to isolate herself, but she knew the history of their people was apparently not an uncommon one. She wanted to protect Sowyn where it was reasonable.

Sowyn simply nodded as they stepped into Sickbay.

“Doctor Ryley?” Dalaira called out, looking around for the oft abrasive man.

Ryley looked up from the NE in blue he was finishing with, the old saw bones had shed his jacket and shirt a sign that he had been working on something. His black t-shirt proclaimed some words in red in Klingon. He went back to his discussion and the NE nodded and got off the biobed with a roll of his eyes. He smiled however when he reached Dalaria and Sowyn but didn’t linger, the Doctor hot on his heels.

Ryley leaned on his cane and surveyed both girl and woman a moment giving them both a precursors visual evaluation. “ Ta’han Ladies.” He said with a slight respectful nod of his head. “What can I do you for?”

Ryley
M.D.

Sowyn smiled at Ryley, but there was a hint of nervousness. “Relann said I needed to come down and get a vaccination for something important. Something called… measles?”

“And I haven’t had much of anything myself, so I would do well receive this preventative treatment,” Dalaira added.

The girl chewed on her lip again.”Does it hurt?” she asked softly.
