[Vimyridge] SD940928.16 - Chit Chat and some Food in 10 Forward Pt 1 - Vilqa, Saladin and Wilkinson

[Kylana ~]

<<This JL takes placed at some time of space and time but not necessarily
chronologically to current logs. I've posted it as a partial due to Saladin
being away for a few days.>>

Vilqa entered the lounge, it was a long tiring day that started at 0500 and
lasted to nearly 2100. It wasn't until she left her ready room than she
truly realized how hungry she was. Walking into a quite busy lounge she was
shocked and yet pleased at the same time to see so many people there at
least attempting to retain some sort of normalcy. She approached a
replicator and got herself a bowl of New England style clam chowder inside a
carved out sourdough bun and searched for a location to take a seat while
her soup was still steaming hot.

    Katerina sat alone in a corner table picking at her plate of food not
feeling very hungry but knew she'd better eat something. her mind wandered
to recent events in the holodeck  more so the strides she'd made to put the
whole Cugino mess behind her. though she was still concerned over her
friendship with Nick.

Saladin was back in the lounge again. He gave an internal sigh; it was more
difficult than it might at first seem to try and break out of a routine that
was tied to study, research and genuine solitariness. Crowds of people just
set him on edge. "Hmmm" he thought to himself, "Perhaps that is why I sought
out the stars, they seemed less crowded."

Making her way over Vilqa spotted Wilkinson and decided to change course
toward the woman, "May I?" Her foot hooked the leg of an empty chair at the
doctor's table.

  Kat looked up from her plate, a little surprised that the Captain was
addressing her. she gave her a light smile though still had alot of things
weighing heavily on her mind. "be my guest Captain" she said. Other than
shortly after Rose Blake was born she hadn't had much contact with her
outside of duty.

"Thank you Commander." The part klingon offered a partial smile which was,
in the scheme of things as good as it was going to get. "How are things
holding up for you?"

  "well things are progressing." she told her trying to sound positive about
her strides to put the incident a few months ago behind her. "I mean I'm
able to walk into sickbay now without shaking like a leaf, though I do still
have work to do on that." she told her. she reached up and massaged the back
of her neck in an attempt to relieve some the tension she was still feeling.
"and how are you Captain?" she asked.

"Baby steps, Doctor." K`ylana nodded, "Has Doctor Blake spoken to you about
an away mission planet side?" The Captain queried before answering the
question posed to her, "Other than the physical drain of long hours which
each of us are having to endure I am well." She glanced about the lounge a
few moments to see who else was about, not that she didn't want to be in
Wilkinson's company, she had chosen to sit there; but to simply be
constantly aware of her surroundings and those gathered around her.

  Kat nodded. "I know Captain." she said as she looked around making note
of  her surroundings. she nibbled a bit of what was on her plate while she
listened to the Captain. "it's good to hear you are well ma'am"  she said
"despite the stresses and such." she added. "yes Doctor Blake did mention
something about an away mission. but I don't recall if I was being
considered to be sent or not as she also mentioned setting up additional
treatment areas in one of the shuttle bays." she told her as she reached for
her glass of tea and took a sip.

"I suppose we'll have to see what the doctor decides in the end." K`ylana
then smiled as she heard Marcus.

Marcus was looking for a seat, he wasn't eating, hadn't been intending to
stay long at all, he would eat and drink back in his own room later. But he
had promised the counselor he would attempt to interact with others; indeed,
he had promised himself. Then he spied K'ylana and couldn't help the brief
smile that he flashed her way. He moved a couple of steps to the right and
saw she was sat with Wilkinson. He gave it just a moment of thought and then
walked quickly with large purposeful strides, towards their table. "I hope
I'm not interrupting?"

"Hello Marcus. Of course not," she lightly kicked out a char, "Would you
like to have a seat?" She glanced to Kat, "Have you had the pleasure to meet
Doctor Katerina Wilkinson?"

   Kat looked up when she heard the Captain speak to  commander Saladin.
she recalled meeting him shortly after he came aboard but hadn't seen much
of him since. she looked in his direction. "no you're not interrupting
Commander , you're welcome to join us if you'd like." she said.
