Joe sat on a stool behind the bar with Pad doing an inventory and figuring out what he needed to get once the ship made a stop somewhere. Beside him on the bar was a small wooden packing crate. It had been a busy if crazy afternoon. Rumors had been running amok which always made business good. Joe like any good barman had listened intently to all news but in the end offered no opinion of his own. Finally, the crowds had cleared and D’Nesh had asked Joe if she could leave. She was quite excited. She said she wanted to go dance with someone.

So now Joe could be alone with his own thoughts. Some of those thoughts had to do more with people jumping across puddles and calling them lakes than anything else. That and Joe had to admit he was in need of a hug and some good conversation. He just smiled, looked over at the wooden packing crate. Shook his head and smiled wider.

OOC: I had put a post under the sim Dragan bar oh well I’ll go on with this .

Cross finally made it to the dragon bar weary and tired ,she took a stool and smiled ‘’Hi Joe how are you? ‘’ the bar was empty just the way Miriam wished it to be .

Cross CMO.

Joe smiled wanly at Miri, reached over and placed his hand over hers and said in a kindly voice. ” Looks like you’ve had a rough day. The medical department has been the talk of the town. ” Before Miri could say anything though Joe put up a finger and picked up the little crate on the bar. He then carried the crate across the floor to the middle of the bar where he set it down on the floor. He then went back to Cross and led her across the floor and stopped her two steps in front of the crate. ” Okay I think that everyone knows that women are built different than men and that they tend to walk in the most delicious fashion. He laughed and said to Miri. ” Just stick with me a minute.

Cross rolled her eyes , thinking gossip on the ship moved faster then their warp drive .

He set Miri so that she was facing the crate. Alright here you are. You’re Stella. It’s your first away mission. Shoot you never been off of Earth before. Here I am Hunter. I’m coming up behind you. It’s a rough, rocky planet down there. Now take one step toward the crate”. As she did Joe placed two fingers on Miris back.” At this point Stella tells Hunter to quit that stuff. She’s angry and picks up her pace. Before Hunter can do anything Stella steps onto out imitation rock right here. Now as you step up on the crate do it slowly and stop. Once again Miri did what he asked to his amazement. As Miri stepped up onto the crate Joes fingers slid down off of her back and onto the top of her rear. “Before Hunter could have done anything. his hand had slid down. At which point Stella lost it. The addition of how women are built, plus a rock add one new nervous officer and you have a mess! So, what do you think Miri do I get a gold star? Maybe a hug?”

So she did what he had told her ‘’ The only thing you’re going to get is a thump on your hand ,have you considered that the two fingers went up her spine and not down!’’ Cross exclaimed ‘’Which means towards her neck ‘’ climbing back on the stool she went on ‘’Listen Joe I would appreciate forgetting about those two , that was the last thing I needed after what we went through with the ship’s power gone and getting up and down the turbolift to help a crewman who had been hurt ‘’ she wondered if she could fall asleep sitting down ‘’ Just something to drink ,would appreciate a beverage that would knock me down for a week or two .I suppose you’re finished here? It would be nice if we could go to my quarters for some well deserved sleep ‘’.

OOC: What a misunderstanding , when I wrote the post I imaged Hunter’s two fingers going up her spine and not down!.

Cross CMO.

Joe laughed and said, ” Go ahead. Don’t worry about it. I’ll talk to Stella and calm her down. What this shows is simply that what she thought was the second touch was on purpose was an accident. Hunter might have been running his finger up her back and was starting to remove it and the results would have still been the same. Joe looked around at the empty bar. and gave Cross a kiss on the cheek. ” Want me to bring anything or just myself?” he asked. ” I think I have some peppermint. I could make you a tea that would relax you all over and put you to sleep.”

OOC: send you an email where I wrote ‘going up her spine ’ in that post.

If looks could kill Joe would be dead there and then ‘’ Go and talk to Stella when you can clearly seen how tired I am instead of coming with me !’’ Cross exclaimed as she slid of the stool ‘’ Well go I shall not stop you and ‘’ she turned around ‘’On your way enter your own quarters or hers ..........goodnight’’ and with that she excited the bar.

Guess Hunter was right about not wanting drama in his life , Joe should give him credit for that .

Joe knew better than to talk back to Miri . When she went into one of her ‘I’m not listening moods there was nothing anyone could do. He had fully intended to close the place up after Miri had left and then he would take the tea to her. Everything else could wait. There was no need for him to go poking about in some girl’s quarters at this hour of night. Especially when he knew that by now D’Nesh and stella both were probably close to something near unconsciousness by now from drinking. His plans would only change a little. He got a couple of packets of peppermint tea and a teapot. He placed these on a serving tray. He then sat down and finished his inventory. Looking at the time he figured Miri’s blood pressure had probably dropped somewhat so he turned out the lights and headed toward her room. He really was looking forward to when she was further along in her pregnancy!

Cross was putting on her silk pajamas when she heard the chime ,going to press the button for the door to open, Miriam tripped and ended up on the floor cursing in her native language . When Joe entered he could not see her that is until her head popped up from the other side of the bed .

Cross CMO.

Joe stood there holding the platter looking or all the world like a butler in one of those old movies for an instant. Looking about with a knitted brow he couldn’t see Cross anywhere, which he knew was not the case since he had just heard her cursing in her native language. A language which few would hear or know where it was from. It seemed to contain nothing but syllables, as though someone had thought that vowels were too much work. Or that they didn’t want non-natives to ever learn it. He knew though that Cross didn’t usually speak it too much unless she were angry.

He saw her then as her head popped up on the other side of the bed like a piece in the whack a mole game. It was then that despite his every effort to keep a straight face and to be more concerned and loving over her plight that he instead began to laugh nearly spilling the contents of the tray which he held. He quickly set the tray down on the bedside table and reached his hand out for Cross as he balanced in the middle of the bed. ” Come forth my princess!” he spoke as he reached out to help her up. ” We don’t want you to be devoured by some evil beasty beneath the bed!”

Hearing him say ‘Come forth my princess ’ made her say some more colorful language that no translator wound translate ‘’You picked the perfect timing to ring the chime ‘’.
Pulling the trousers up she eyed the tray hoping there would be some hot chocolate and a piece of cake but knowing Joe her hope would soon be dashed into oblivion.
Getting under the covers Cross pulled Joe from his shirt and planted a kiss on his cheek ‘’So what candy and tidbits treat did you bring?’‘.
