Casela, despite being encouraged to sleep, stayed up. Not the best idea, but at least she was able to keep walking and drowning in glasses of water. She made a not so subtle change this morning. She only used her RTF uniform during RTF training, but she always wore the standard Star Fleet combat/tactical uniform. Today she opted for a basic standard star fleet jacket style uniform in medical blue. She thought about just a basic standard uniform, but with the refit the environment controls were still out of whack. But a standard uniform would now be her new norm. She made one adjustment, loops at the collar to keep her necklace in place, even though this uniform had a high collar. Casela met Cobb for breakfast, as always, despite the pounding head. Though it could be worse if she’d tried to sleep through it. This morning she had work on the counseling deck. She checked on Gen and then, sucking up her embarrassment she questioned the computer for the location of Lt. Kastil. “LT. KASTIL IS IN HOLODECK 2.”

Casela arrived and finding the door unlocked she stepped in and looked around. Doc Fey was doing Thai Chi. Casela wasn’t at liberty to change into a uniform, but she requested a robe and slipped it over her uniform. She slipped off her boots and socks. She walked up to the mat and bowed respectfully and stepped up and moved into the rhythm and routine the doctor had already begun. Thai Chi was not Casela’s strong point, but she respected it none-the-less. Casela wanted to talk to the doctor, about the previous night, but she didn’t want to interrupt her program.

“To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.” The Doctor spoke softly even with the rasp that accompanied her voice, not interrupting her flow of motion as the counselor joined her. Her arms move carefully and slowly in circles, keeping in balance with a solid base while still being relaxed. Fey’s mind was blank this morning on purpose, she needed a chance to settle herself after the previous evening of trying to reach out to Hampton. For the most part, it had been successful but still troubling. “What can I do for you counselor, you came looking for me this morning for a reason?”
