((The Crusher Wing, Medical Center, Amity Outpost))
10.35! Oh no! Already 5 minutes late! D’Cyra hurriedly weaves her way past the entrance to the hospital wing and the CCC to the Crusher wing.
At reception, she had simply waved her badge around at check-in, after all, she had an appointment.
She hurried down the corridors as fast as she could. Surely Professor Orrey's office/consulting room must be around here somewhere? oO I should have checked beforehand! Oo But D’Cyra couldn't hurry along the corridors as quickly as usual; her gait seemed slightly unsteady.
Varati: ::to herself:: M2-34, M2-36, M2-37… well?... Ah, there is M2-38!
She held up her badge and, presto, the door panels slid open. There were definitely advantages to being part of the Starfleet officer corps. With a forced smile (it did hurt after all), she greeted the doctor.
Varati: Good morning, Doctor Orrey! Sorry, I’m a little late…
Orrey: Response
She gritted her teeth slightly and tried to take a seat on the offered chair as elegantly as possible.
Varati: My values? Well... well, I abstained from chocolate for the entire last mission! And otherwise, I've switched to eating a lot more fresh, well, fruit. All that coffee and all those escallops from the cafeteria really aren't necessary.
Orrey: Response
D’Cyra’s vital signs had always been perfectly fine, except for that one time after the last mission. And after that, she'd felt the urge to burn off excess energy through exercise anyway. And she only noticed the current issue after she had returned from Uwe II and worn high heels again for the first time.
Varati: But actually, I'm here for something completely different...
D’Cyra bent them down and then very carefully pulled her right fur boot off her foot. oO Ugghh! Oo
Varati: I'm not sure exactly which floor panel on the bridge of the Indy I kicked this time... and with the strange leather sandals on Uwe II and all the stress, I didn't even notice. But when I wore my new heels to lunch at the tea house yesterday, my big toe suddenly started to hurt. And it's swollen too. Maybe I kicked too hard this time?!
Yes, the toe was visibly swollen and had changed colour from a light to a darker shade of green.
