Roman smiled at her and shrugged. “If I took in that much caffeine I might give myself a heart attack.” He put down the empty bottle. It would be worth it, but wow, he almost wished he hadn’t made this deal. That was a lot of water. At the knock at the door, Roman pressed the control for the door, “Come in!”

Outside the door stood Elbbirt. He strolled in, “Ah good. Rand my dear, help me with the tray would you?” Rand got up and prayed Elbbirt wouldn’t say a thing about earlier. She found the request strange though. She looked past him, “Where’s Randy?” She took the tray and moved it to the the table, not even paying attention to what was on it. The older gentleman chuckled, “Something about respecting your privacy. I’m a doctor I have no such concerns.” Rand looked out the door again before it closed. Though she didn’t know what to say to Randy about that morning, she wanted him there, wanted to know he didn’t hate her. She’d even let him tease her about her and Roman, just…

Elbbirt looked at Alden, he looked decent. “How are you feeling Cmdr?”

He was sitting up, his head still hurt like crazy but having eaten and drank tons of water did tend to make one look and feel better. “I’m alright.” He made a deal with Rand. No arguing, no passive aggressiveness. Darn. It was going to be a hard deal to keep.

Rand had turned back around and raised her brow at him. Roman was always polite, but the edge that was usually there when a medical officer was around was gone. Oh he was really trying. She just grinned at him.

Roman shot her his best glare. He really was trying. He was too stubborn not to. That, and when would he get another chance to see the night gown?

“Well Rand, let’s start with you. Let’s go next door, give you some privacy and we’ll make sure you’re taking care of yourself. Hmm?”

Elbbirt

Rand grinned, nothing said she had to go along with it. “Me? What didn’t I do?” Elbbirt looked at her, then at Alden, and back to her. “My dear did you hit your head too?”

“I’m just going to walk the deck while you talk to Rand privately. I’ll be careful and all that, Randy said it would be alright,” Roman said, standing with his hand on the side table. Then he headed out, staying near the wall in case he needed something to lean on. He looked in the Farquharson quarters, then made it down to the galley, then the rec room. No Randy. There was only one more place to look. Roman headed to deck 9, passed by his own labs, and then paused outside of Sickbay. Nope, no way. He wasn’t going in there. He stood off to the side of the door and pulled his communicator off his belt, flipping it open. =C= Alden to Randy. I’m uh, =C= he glanced around. =C= outside of Sickbay. Have a moment to chat? =C=

Randy didn’t even answer the com he just appeared in the corridor next to Alden. He never came looking for Randy so something had to be wrong. “Are you okay? You must be you walked down here. Is Rand okay?”

Randy

“Everyone’s alright, no one’s dying. Or panicking. No, I just wanted to talk about this morning.” Roman said with another quick glance around. Then he explained everything Rand had told him that morning after Randy left, keeping his voice down so they weren’t overheard.
