Eela laughed openly. “I make no promises on the matter,” she said, shifting into a grin and her hazel eyes lit up. “There are many ways to encourage consensus, and sometimes it requires something a little more unconventional.”

“Do you have any other questions? If not, I should get to my next meeting and then take a rest. My new doctor will give me hell if I don’t,” she said before downing the last of her coffee.

“You’re right, she will. She may even enjoy it on occasion.” Sharah grinned and tapped her mug as she took a sip thinking. “For now, my only question is if you have any specific requirements from the medical staff. We may already be fullfilling it, but I’d rather know up front.”

“On the professional front, just keep me in the loop. My office handles a lot of the higher level day-to-day minutiae of the colony, while the Governor tends to be more big picture. And thus we work together to keep that balanced. But I can’t act upon or help with things I don’t know about, so let me know.”

Dasca inhaled deeply before blowing out that breath. “Personally, as a patient though, things are… complicated. I consider myself an upfront and honest person, but I’m intensely private about some things. My medical situation is one of them. But I’m not an idiot, people will be able to quickly tell I’m not 100%. That’s fine, I never expected to keep it all a secret.” That familiar swirl of anxiety surfaced briefly before she pushed it back down. “But I’m way out on a limb here Doctor Fayth. I’m stuck in the middle of a very complicated political situation here and not to put too fine a point on it, I have something to prove and everyone knows it. But here at this hospital, where a part of me resents having to be? It’s the one place where I know where I stand and I know people are on my side.” She shrugged. “It’s strange, but it’s reality. So, that’s all I ask. Be on me my side in this one area. Even if it pisses me off when you do,” she said, breaking into a grin. “I’m a big girl. I can handle being told off now and again, and some days I need to remind myself I’m not invincible. Call it a bad habit from the captain’s chair.”
