(( CMO’s Office, USS Garuda ))
::Gabrielle looked up at him as he approached her. As angry as she was, he was foolish to think reason had a place in an emotional discourse. She wanted to slap him. She intended to just slap him. She really did. The impulse jumped from her brain, down her arm and almost to her hand. Her fingers never extending. She punched him in the jaw. Fortunately Gabrielle was not very strong, but it was enough to get any wandering bit of his attention.::
:: He took the hit without flinching. There was a mark where the blow landed, and he blinked as pain shot through his system. She now had his undivided attention, as she had when she’d walked into the room. ::
::Gabrielle stared up at him in horror as she wrung her badly bruised hand. She was Argelian. Non-violent and pleasure loving hedonist. She just punched a senior officer. She acted without thinking. Just as impulsively she reached up with her uninjured hand and grabbed his collar, pulling him closer and she kissed him hard, all her pent up worry and fear merging into it.::
:: He admitted he deserved the punch. The kiss, he was less sure he deserved, but allowed himself to get lost in the moment. The emotions he was picking up from her had him very confused, but at the moment that didn’t matter. He’d sort them out later. ::
Porchevska: ::She broke the kiss reluctantly:: You…. scared… me…
Skyfire: And I suspect you won’t be the last. :: He blinked, not sure what to add next. He took her bruised hand into his own, taking a medical tricorder from his desk and scanning her wrist. :: Just sprained your wrist with that blow. And I admit I deserved it.
::Gabrielle was standing close to him, their body language more intimate. She found herself leaning a little against him.::
Porchevska: ::her voice was quiet:: CD you can’t keep doing things like this. You have a responsibility….
:: He nodded faintly and whispered to her as he held her close. ::
Skyfire: I know…and I will be more careful… :: He felt tears sting his vision, the concern she felt radiating strongly from her. ::
Porchevska: New rule… Discuss it and actually listen to them. ::She lifted her head to look up at him, her green eyes shimmering with unshed tears.:: Promise.
:: His own green eyes shimmered as well, and he nodded faintly. He knew she was right, and the emotions he was picking up from this conversation didn’t add any simplicity to his mental shielding. In fact, this woman had a unique way of tricking his mind; shields or no shields. ::
Skyfire: Promise. I will.
::She sighed and pulled away from him with reluctance. She knew he felt her emotions and thoughts sometimes. It wasn’t in her nature to block or censor herself. She knew she was risking a lot of her own heart by investing in him. She planned to turn him into a well rounded person and then set him free to find someone when her social lessons were done. That was the only thing she suppressed. How she really felt about that.::
Porchevska: I’ll come back for your reports later… After that you should get some rest… ::She cradled her damaged hand. She would get someone to wrap it for her.::
:: He nodded faintly, setting the tricorder back on his desk with his good hand. ::
Skyfire: Do you want me to wrap that for you before you go?
Porchevska: ::she shook her head:: Just a sprain like you said. I’ll get someone to wrap it. ::then she smiled faintly and tried to lighten the mood:: One thing though…
:: He didn’t know what else could go wrong with this conversation, as he’d just been punched and kissed within the span of 10 seconds. ::
Skyfire: What’s that?
Porchevska: ::she smiled, an echo of her usual cheekiness:: Watch that Russian accent. It turns me on.
::With that she turned and walked out of his office::
:: He sat back behind his desk and finally reacted to the pain from the jaw, running a hand tenderly over the bruise. CD checked over his report one last time, then sent it to Cmdr. Calderan with a copy sent to Gabi. Then, left the office after turning off the console en route to his quarters. ::
::Meanwhile Gabrielle had tracked down Lara Knight to wrap her injured wrist::
Knight: Riot on the station?
Porchevska: No… I punched the CMO.
