OOC: My apologies. I would very much like to continue.

IC: Commander Brooks tried to hide her smile and suppress a chuckle. “Um, correct me if I am wrong, Ensign, but you ARE an officer. A little green, and slightly nervous, but still an officer.” She looked at him with sympathy. “Actually I can relate quite a bit. This is my first command role and I haven’t been on very long.” She dropped her eyes and glanced around suspiciously and playfully. In a whisper she asked, “Can I let you in on a little secret?”

Harry chuckled nervously as he shifted in his seat. “Of course ma’am…” he replied quietly, his anxiety through the roof as he talked to Brooks.

OOC: Hope you don’t mind me jumping in here!
IC:
It was at that moment James stormed into the lounge. His day had been awful and he needed a drink to calm his already bad mood. He’d had a more grumpy disposition of late, since the ‘incident’ really and today had been one thing after another.
“Bloody surgeons!” He huffed a little louder than he had meant to, he hated surgeons, and stormed over to the replicator red faced and angry. He ordered a double whiskey straight and looked around for an empty table.

Bump

Harry jumped at the loud interruption and frantically stood ridgedly to attention, not really sure what else to do.

James looked taken aback by the man suddenly standing to attention. It interrupted his thoughts and burst the bubble that he was in briefly. He walked over to Harry with his drink in his left hand and tried to suppress a smirk at the man’s response to James’ outburst. He looked briefly at the man’s pip indicating that he was an Ensign.
“You don’t need to stand to attention Ensign. I’m James but everyone calls me Jim. I’m sorry if I startled you. It has been an…interesting day.

Harry nodded as he rubbed his still sore arm. “It’s ok, it’s been an interesting day for me too…” he replied quietly. “Would you like to join us…I mean if that’s alright with you ma’am?” he asked Brooks, hoping that he would have someone else at the table to negotiate the small talk that was normally a foreign language to Harry.
