=Mess Hall=

As Riaan entered the mess hall for dinner she spotted Dr. Dane sitting at a table by herself.

Riaan walked up to the replicator, "Computer hot roast beef sandwich, roast potatoes and peas with a coffee."

A few seconds later Riaan picked up her plate and headed over to the table where Dr. Dane was sitting.

"Excuse me doctor do you mind if I join you," asked Riaan?

"No Riaan, please sit down. Teilani said softly. "How are you?"

"I am not bad," as Riaan sat down and placed her tray on the table.

"I do not feel to well," which was the truth, Teilani felt awfully sick. She had given herself a shot of inaprovaline but nothing helped. She knew she looked like being hit by a freight train. She felt cold and her stomach was upset. She was shaking as she took her mug from the table.

Before Dr. Dane could say anything Riaan tapped her combadge This is Lt. JG Riaan to Ensign Favor can you please come to the mess hall medical emergency, something is wrong with Dr. Dane.

Favor turned from Mason's bio bed. Her thoughts drifted to the dagger lilies she'd received, and she wondered again about the origin of the recipient.

It could have been Dan, she supposed. Only Dan would have sent her such a gift. Only Dan would have known the significance of the Risan dagger lily. There relationship had been ripe with passion and betrayal. "Which did you intend to signify, Dan?" Favor wondered aloud.

She remembered that day at the Forty Woods open-air market, when he'd bought the shaving kit. She'd never even known what a shaving kit was, for crying out loud! He'd looked askance at her when she'd questioned him almost puzzled in fact. `"Well, it's a...it's a SHAVING kit," he'd finally said, and selected one from the shelf.

The closest she could envision to a "shaving kit" was the plastic "doctor kit" that one of her mother's Earth boyfriends had given her, complete with candy pills and a box of bandaids.

What on earth would be in a SHAVING kit?

She'd found out that day, and had found out much more, too. "Being raised by a pack of wolves doesn't do much for your social skills," Favor mused aloud, remembering with a faint smile all the things she'd learned that day.

The machines surrounding Mason hummed and whirred, plumping him with life. "Did Dan send me those lilies, Mason?" Favor asked.

Mason didn't reply.

"You know, Mason," Favor said, "you aren't nearly as good a conversationalist as Silvio is."

The communicator buzzed like a crying baby, demanding to be fed. It was Riaan, summoning Favor to the dining hall. She sighed, and punched the send button, speaking directly to Riaan. "I can't leave Mason right now we're in the middle of a procedure. I'll send two medics with a stretcher."

Understood I'll t transport Teilani and myself straight to sickbay this way I know that Teilani arrived okay and I'll know personally whether she is fine or not, out.

Favor paused. How strange that Riaan would personally escort Dr. Dane to the Sick Bay, she thought.

"OK, I'll stand by here," she said.

Riaan: "Computer, medical emergency lock onto Lt. JG Dane and my combadge and beam straight to sickbay."

A few minutes later Riaan and Teilani arrive in sick bay.
