Dr Jarvis took the plugs of the stethoscope out of his ears and allowed the device to dangle around his neck. “I’m sure I have no idea what you’re talking about, Captain,” he replied innocently. “On the few occasions that we have spoken, I have been perfectly mannerable.” He left any insinuation to the Captain’s imagination.

Willow turned to look at him. Something about the man being behind her unnerved her. She watched him ponderously. “Don’t play stupid.” She said quietly. “It’s unbecoming of a man of your intellect.” She sighed she could have been more professional and what? Welcomed the man but that wasn’t really an option. He was a danger in many ways and in more ways than that to her personally.

“I was being perfectly serious, Captain. I have been quite mannerable with you,” he asserted, safe in the knowledge that there was no instance that she could call him out over. “It’s a pity that Star-Fleet does not prise that quality when choosing its officers.”

As she sat and surveyed the empty sickbay she added. “You and I may have been well maybe never friends but colleagues at least, your cardiovascular articles were always amongst the best in their time.”

Dr Jarvis’ ears pricked up at the comment and his eyes turned to look again at her temperature. It was probably just the fever talking he decided. He’d best do something about that. “Nurse,” he barked, bringing the young NE from earlier running.

“Yes, Dr Jarvis,” she said timidly.

“Fetch me some Corophizine and Tri-Ox compound.”

“Right away, Doctor,” she replied and hurried off.

Willow smirked slightly as the Doctor sent for the very thing she had originally asked for.

Dr Jarvis then put the stethoscope back into his ears and reached out to place the open bell over her heart; recalling from her file that it was situated on the right.

Willow grabbed the wrist of the good doctor’s hand as it moved to her chest. She looked at him, a question in her expression. ”Do you think I have been…overly harsh in my dealings with you Doctor Jarvis?” she asked still holding him gently. The fact he went directly to the right-hand side of her chest told her he had reviewed her file.
