"Hey, Lani," Patia looked up from the file she had been concentrating on. She glanced at the chronometer, "I think I am way past ready for some supper. It appears work got away with me again," she chuckled.
"No supper with Silvio this time." Teilani asked inquisitively.
"I haven't discussed it with him, and at this point, I don't think I will be tonight. I am sure he is caught up with something, too. How about you? No better supper prospects?" she asked.
Teilani shook her head. "No I am afraid not. If you are too busy I can sent an ensign with some food to your office. I will grab something on the way then."
"Not too busy, at all," she smiled. "You know how work can be, once you get started if you don't get distracted you can be there all day. That doesn't mean you should be there all day, though," she chuckled. "What did you want to do for dinner?" Patia pushed away from her desk and stood slowly, stretching the muscles that had stiffened from too much time in one position.
"Well how about getting some fresh pasta, I beleive Miranda has gotten some new recipies. Or we could get some sandwiches and go the pool. I hear the water is lovely."
"That sounds wonderful. Are you ready now?" she asked.
"Sure am."
After having collected some nice sandwiches with grilled vegetables and fresh herbs, some bowls of various pasta salads both Teilani and Patia entered the pool area.
It was quiet and the air was scented with smells of roses and the water looked as blue as the skys on Risa.
"That's a nice place," Teilani said and pointed at the far corner of the pool where some big replicated palmtrees stood.
"It looks very restful. The breeze is delightful." Patia began to weave her way among the scattered tables surrounding the pool area.
Having arrived at a small round table, Teilani set the table. The sandwiches and vegetables looked awsome. "You know I never know how Miranda does it, making food look so good." she said.
"She has a gift," Patia agreed.
"Indeed she has, so tell me, how did the sculpture class go?" Teilani asked.
"It was interesting. If he decided to have another session, and I was available, I would go. I haven't heard a lot of feedback, though, and I haven't seen him since the class. Have you heard if it was well received over all?" Patia asked.
"Some of my nurses did go and they were extatic, seems Mr Withmore has some secret talent." Teilani said. "Although he was a bit nervous as I understood.
"It was his first class, a few nerves would be expected," she smiled slightly. Slowly, she stretched, her back popping as it settled back into place. "How is everything for you?"
Teilani finished the sandwich she had in her hand before she answered. "Well you know how it goes, bandaid there, hypospray here. The same, things are quiet in sickbay and believe me if I have to file another empty report again, I'm going to scream."
Teilani chuckled. "You know its so quite in general that I have the odd feeling that it is silence before the storm, how about you? Did ensign Goldman come to see you yet?"
"I have noticed it is quiet, but that is all right. I am catching up on reports that haven't been on the front burner when they should be because of more pressing issues. Yes, Ensign Goldman was in my office."
OOC: you might want to change the above, you did see Jelly Goldman.... Thanks! I didn't double check names and I had her confused with someone else new that hasn't been in
"Well honestly I do hope something will happen soon, I work best under pressure Teilani said, leaning back. "You know it will be weird seeing Josh again."
"How do you think that will go?" Patia asked.
"Honestly speaking. I have no clue.. It has been ages since we last spoke and I can only hope he doesnt start dwelling about the past you know."
"I know what kind of challenge that can be. Once in awhile, though, the air needs to be cleared," Patia smiled gently.
"Sure I know that things need to be cleared but sometimes it is better to let them rest and start fresh..
"As long as you can start fresh and not let anything from the past get in the way, it should be good. I hope it goes smoothly, for you, Lani."
"Hey I m sure it will," Teilani said optimistically. "More salad?"
"I am full, thank you, though. It has to be one of the best meals I have had lately." Patia swirled the dark liquid of the wine in her glass. "I was planning on taking a hike in the holodeck tonight. What do you have planned?"
"Not much, I still got some old book laying around. So I think I turn in early and read a few pages. There is nothing better thent he smell of old fashioned paper."
"I have to say, I agree. If you wanted to join me on the hike first, though, you would be more than welcome."
"Thanks, but my bed looks much more appealing right now," Teilani said stiffling a yawn. Slowly she began to clear the plates and table. "I fyou don't mind I'm going to bring back those plates and turn in early.
"I don't mind at all. I can take the dishes if you prefer?" Patia asked.
"Nah,"Teilani said shaking her head. "The lounge is on my way anyway. You just sit and relax. I see you tomorrow."
