“I am. I feel much better.” Solal commented. Giving his friend a look, “I did not much appreciate being a sack of potatoes.” Then his look softened, “however you were quite helpful to me.”

Achilleas placed a hand on his chest in mock shock. “I was truly helpful?” He kept the façade for a couple seconds before he laughed and clapped Solal playfully on the shoulder. “I’m just glad I was in a position to help. We’ve hashed all of that to death so I won’t go into it again, but I’m so glad those days of worry are behind us. Now we can both enjoy good health, good friendships, and your sister… half-sister, is temporarily in my department. I think things are looking up.”

“You were indeed,” Solal replied. “I think she might stay,” he added, about his half-sister. “She likes it here.” He was starting to breath harder so he said, “Let’s slow down a little.”

~ Solal

Achilleas slowed down to a fast walk. “I think that’d be good. I like her. Not like like but, you know, I appreciate her intellect and personality. For being half-Vulcan like you, she seems to embrace the emotional Human half of herself. It can be refreshing at times, let’s just say.”

Solal gave Achilleas a withering look. “She does not possess the emotional… issues I do. V’alura is free to do as she wishes.” Now that Achilleas had slowed down, Solal was more easily able to keep up. “She and I are.... very different.”

~ Solal

With a refreshing smile in response to the withering look, Achilleas laughed. “I’m not saying that you or her is better than the other or that you need to be similar. I’m just saying that the contrast is fascinating.” He mimicked a deadpan Vulcan look with raised eyebrow.

“I suppose it is,” replied Solal sufferingly with a shrug, or as much as a shrug as one could give while jogging. “She and I are… very different. But she is an excellent officer.”

~ Solal

“I haven’t really seen her skills as an officer, but her attitude befits one.” Achilleas said ponderingly. “I’ll have to see what sort of project she’d like to work on. I’ll just not be roundabout with whole thing like ‘What do you bring to the table?’ or ‘Get that stick out of your rear end!’”
