“Please have a seat if you’d like Ensign.” He said as he rounded his desk and found the charger he was looking for on the floor. “Ah! There it is.” He bent and picked it up then looked at her. “Let me explain myself to you. I wanted to teach you a lesson in assumption and it was meant to be in private but Mwezi put a atop to that and I was forced to say it in the open. I did not mean to offend you Crelle.”

Crelle offered a quiet “Yes Sir”, sitting in the offered seat with her back straight and keeping her eyes on the man as he searched for something… a charger? The Catain listened carefully, following the Captain with trained blue eyes as he moved.

“There is no need to apologize, Captain. You did not offend. It was a lesson learned.” Crelle spoke the words, but in the back of her mind she still harbored a small distrust and dislike of the man for his performance. She would not state it and would not allow it to show, and the feeling would pass. But she did not appreciate the games the Captain played.

” I also wanted to talk to you about your Department Head Lieutenant Kane . You are an exact polar opposite to him. You are charming, lively, hopeful, energetic, nice and sincere. He is just sincere. He looks crude and not at all what a Starfleet officer should look like or even a civilian attached to Starfleet. But he is very professional and is one of the best damn doctors out there. I personally choose him to be my replacement when I got promoted and moved to the XO spot. Please be patient with him and you both will find a way to get along or at least communicate. He and I have been on mission together and have saved each other many times over. Besides Lt. Mwezi, there is no other person on this ship that I will absolutely have no problems putting my life in their hands. You will learn from the best but do it in your own way. Just do not lear his bedside manners.” He chuckled. Do you have anything for me? And speak openly and freely. My name is not on the side of this ship and neither is yours. This is our ship and together we make it the best.”

This would be the first time the Captain of any ship felt a need to sit Crelle down and warn her about her boss’s behavior. She wasn’t sure if she should be worried or relieved, given who was breaking the news. She considered the man she had yet to meet and a small warmth bloomed in her chest. He sounded like her eldest brother, Veris. Earth-originators would describe him as ‘tabby-like’ in appearance and a deep brown fur. His gentle face often got him into trouble, but not for what one thought. Veris inherited their father’s fire and brimstone warrior blood, constantly beginning and ending fights at the local tavern after his work for the day had ended. Crelle thought back to the last bar fight Crelle had to scrape her brother off of the floor of, and the gentle manner with which he treated Crelle compared to the harsh profanities that spilled from his mouth about his opponents of the night. If she could survive his antics, Crelle knew she could survive any man with an attitude.

With a small smile at the thought, Crelle asked the Captain:

“May I have permission to speak freely, Sir?”

Crelle, Ensign

“Speak freely. I encourage it.”

Crelle leveled her gaze at the Captain. She still didn’t trust him enough to fully joke with the man, but she would be honest and speak from the heart.

“I have nine brothers, the eldest of which is beyond me by three years in age. Between my collective of brothers and their profanity I would be shocked if the Chief Medical Officer could surprise me with his behaviors.”

Crelle smiled genuinely at the Captain but kept her gaze steady and professional.

Chris smiled and let out a small chuckle. “Well in the great and immortal words of the greatest wizard ever, Albus Dumbledore. Very well. Of you go then.” Chris even managed to get the old voice correct.
