Posted by Lieutenant Natasha Daye (Doctor) in Captain’s Quarters Dinner with the Knights
Natasha came home and picked up the living room quickly knowing Izzy was on her way over at any minute. It was not like this was the first time she sprung someone on Dante. Typically she did comm him but for some reason, he had not answered. Once she returned home Natasha discovered it was because he was in the shower. Yelling to him about the upcoming evening through the bedroom and past the bathroom door over the sound of the shower, she hoped his muffled reply acknowledgment of her announcing they were having dinner guests.

Looking about the room, Natasha sighed heavily. Dante ran a tight ship but his quarters always bordered on a bachelor’s pad. Opening the liquor cabinet she pulled out several bottles and set them on the table of her favorite vodkas. She debated about replicating bottle of wine and then waited. She rarely touched the stuff but had no issue if Izzy liked it. She would just wait until the new helmsmen arrived to find out.

Arriving at the Captain’s quarters, Izzy slipped the bottle of Rioja she was carrying under her arm and thumbed the door chime.

She’d been unsure what to wear, given the informal nature of the invitation, so she’d gone with a nice black sleeveless jersey dress and kitten heels, figuring she wouldn’t look out of place either way unless Daye had a 1970’s disco theme planned. Her hair at least didn’t require much thought, cut into its usual short but feminine pixie cut.

“Hello,” Daye said happily opening the door. It was clear she was thrilled to have Izzy over. The only thing that showed annoyance was the frown on her face and her leg held out in a weird angle holding what should have been a dog, but was a lizard, back from exiting the room.

“Bruce is just sooo,” she let out a grunt as she used her leg to side sweep the happy lizard back with all finesse of a bowling ball arm clearing the lane from the fallen over pins. “So excited when people come over. Please come in and ignore him.”

As if on cue the lizard stopped wiggling and stared at Natasha for a long second. The ball fell from his mouth and rolled slightly across the floor as his tongue came up and flicked once out of his mouth. Really Mom really, his look seemed to say. We never have anyone over and you are going to say I’m the one that causes it. I think you and Dad wanting to do nothing more than sit on the couch watching the holovids or spending enough hours in the bedroom to make a hibernating bear ashamed is the reason. Now move your foot so I can be the perky one of our group he finished his inner thought with a final tongue flick. Moving around her foot, Bruce slowly picked up his ball and moved to the center of the room. Locking eyes with the new arrival he sat patiently with the red ball in his mouth wiggling his tail so much his butt seemed to bounce back and forth even in the sitting position.

“Come on in,” Daye motioned Izzy to enter and reached out to take the bottle the woman had brought. “I am so glad you brought what you liked to drink. I hate having to guess. Dinner is almost ready. Let’s have a drink first to get to know each other without medical probes,” Natasha suggested half laughing as she moved across the room to get glasses.
